Healthy Neighbourhoods
Walkable Sidewalks & Bike-able Streets (WSBS)
Walkable Sidewalks and Bikeable Streets (WSBS) means that children, seniors, and everyone in between should be able to get to where they need to go on foot or by bike.
WSBS makes Ward 10 better. Walking and biking are good for the environment and for our health. WSBS are a critical component of a high density, accessible downtown core where everyone can work, play, and access services.
Leah’s Commitments:
- to establish a Ward 10 citizens’ committee that can work with engineers, city planners, and others to identify feasible traffic calming options for Ward 10
- to work with residents and city officials to establish a plan for expanding dedicated bike lanes within and beyond Ward 10
Fresh Food First
Fresh Food First means having access to local food, to land for growing food. It also means supporting local food producers.
Fresh Food First makes Ward 10 better. We are what we eat. When we have access to fresh, local food, we can lead healthier lives. Consuming local food can strengthen the local economy and reduce the impact on the environment.
Leah’s Commitments:
- to work with the Fredericton Food Centre, residents, and city officials to promote the use of urban green space for people, non-profit organizations and community groups to produce their own food in their own neighbourhoods
- to explore the development and implementation of a curb-side composting program
