Brad Gross Q&A

What would you do to make transit service in Winnipeg more functional, reliable and safe for its users? What plans do you have, if any, to reduce car dependency in the city? 

I would remove free riders that cause trouble. I will cameras will be on the street lights and we will also have quick pay cc, phone to debit card and cash.

What do you think the city should be doing to ease the housing and homelessness crisis? What specifically would you change about the city’s current approaches?

We will access vacant buildings and have a secured lot that the homeless can be at in a safe environment.

Public disorder has become a major concern among surveyed voters. How should the city best deal with it? The police budget is a major expense for the city, are people getting value for money?

The police budget will remain and we will be using their power to clean up no fixed address wandering around in early will be taken to this location, and helped with food and accommodations to stay safe.

While poverty and addictions are largely another government’s responsibility, are there ways that you see that the City of Winnipeg could be doing more to solve these issues?

Winnipeg will not be giving needles or crack pipes out any longer.

Voters are concerned about the rising cost of living and affordability. What do you see are ways the City of Winnipeg could make life less expensive for residents?

Water bills and costs will be tightened up and we will be keeping taxes at the level of rent increase approvals to help all out.

    Do we actually do this? I was also under the impression drug use was rampant before the safe consumption site was opened, because i am assuming that is what is being referred to here
