Josh Matlow shares his new approach for Toronto City Hall
My Commitment to You and Toronto
Torontonians tell me they're frustrated by our current city council. Our city's residents want council to engage them with an inspiring plan for Toronto, and to make decisions that are based on what is best, rather than left- or right-wing partisanship.
As our city councillor, I will offer a thoughtful, new approach that:
• Is proactive
• sets priorities
• is fiscally accountable
• ensures that our residents are genuinely involved in the decision-making process.
I will apply my new approach to running our city, serving the people in our city, helping enhance getting around our city and finally, promoting Toronto: A World within a City, an idea that covers parks, public spaces, greening, the Arts, culture, and development.
I will hold regular ward-wide and local neighbourhood meetings and meet with individual residents, ratepayer and tenant associations and BIAs to seek their advice. I will also work to amend the planning process to ensure that residents are true partners in decision making processes that affect their homes and neighbourhoods, rather than be subject to them.
I am guided by a solemn commitment to listen to the residents of my ward and make sound decisions based on evidence. Like I've been as our school trustee, I will be accessible to you and share all information I receive that is of import to our communities.
