What are the priorities for regional council in the coming term? A significant aspect of our quality of life rests with the protection of our urban/rural mix within the Region. Leadership is necessary to maintain a balance between development of new subdivisions and more building in the core that takes advantage of the existing roads and services. Public transit contributes to quality of life for residents. Working in partnership with other levels of government is key to the viabilty of our transit. The LRT project is visionary. It is as much a planning tool as a transit plan. What were empty lots and closed factories just a few years ago are now under development and contributing significantly to the tax base. While I support the LRT, it is essential that the costs be monitored the project is within budget. On October 27th vote Karen Redman, Regional Council for Kitchener
