Key Answers from The 155 Podcast

Summaries of how Debicki answered five of The 155 Podcast questions.

Two city-wide priorities, and how to achieve them

  • Roads and road safety: reassess Vision Zero, compile data on busy areas shared by motorists, pedestrians and e-device users, connect broken bike paths and add better-signed, better-lit pedestrian crossovers. She cites her son being hit by an e-bike and a fatality on Upper Ottawa.

Two changes to improve City services

  • More recreational availability and variety for children, youth and seniors, easing the competitive registration sign-ups.
  • Make services easier to access, with fewer hoops for simple things.

Two changes to improve quality of life in Hamilton

  • More events in new locations beyond Gage Park, including locations more accessible for people using wheelchairs.
  • More options for healthy living and activity, indoors and outdoors.

Two priorities for Ward 6

  • Community and family supports: she says Ward 6 has the lowest access to child care in the city (11% per the 2021 census) and wants infant care at an existing site such as C.B. Stirling.
  • Mental-health supports closer to home: crisis, prevention and harm-reduction services and therapy in or near the ward rather than downtown.

Three words for a four-year term (looking back from September 2030)

Impactful, positive, memorable.
