Hi my name is Paul Fletcher and I'm running for mayor in the city of Duncan. One of the primary concerns I have in the city is the welfare of our seniors. Our seniors make up a very large segment of the population in the city of Duncan and they deserve special care and attention. Some of the thoughts I've had about improving the services for seniors is taking better care of our crosswalks to make them safer and easier for seniors to cross. In particular we need flashing lights on some of the more unsafe crossings that they have to deal with. Another idea that I had is to create senior spots downtown for parking. Seniors have often said to me that they don't have a place to park in town and often don't come to town because of that. I would like to create short-term parking spots in Duncan specifically for seniors called senior spots. To resolve the problem of parking I'm also thinking about putting a parkade above the senior center or replacing the senior center that incorporates a brand new senior center within the parkade. This would provide more parking spots for the seniors at the senior center and at the same time take pressure off of Duncan, freeing up senior spots downtown. On another note is the idea of sidewalks no clearing by the city. A lot of the sidewalks in the city after a snowstorm are impassable, particularly for seniors and walkers using walkers etc. I'd like to see the city clear all critical walkways for citizens of pedestrians alike to allow freedom of movement as well as freedom for cars. So on November 19th please vote for Paul Fletcher and vote for me as Mayor for the City of Duncan.
