Councillor Jason Farr has committed $1 million this year for projects dedicated to safe streets. The funds will be disbursed in a participatory-democracy style vote at the end of June. We all want safer streets in the Durand neighbourhood and throughout Ward 2. Our engaged residents and members will want to have their say.
