Our questionnaire
Amy Rosen’s own answers to the questions we put to every candidate, published as given — including, where they wrote one, their reasoning in their own words.
We need more affordable and supportive housing, and we need to make it faster and easier to build through smart zoning reforms and targeted incentives. There's a way to do it so that even areas dominated by detached and semi-detached homes still maintain a neighbourhood feel.
Many people living on our streets are also struggling with mental illness, addiction, trauma, or other challenges that require treatment and support. We can help vulnerable people rebuild their lives while ensuring that sidewalks, transit, and public spaces remain safe and accessible for everyone.
I will create a dedicated traffic coordination office to tackle congestion and bring common sense back to city planning. Construction projects, TTC closures, parades, marathons, festivals, and special events will all be coordinated through a single team focused on keeping Toronto moving.
I'd need more details about what type of infrastructure repairs you're referring to and what sort of funds are needed in order to answer.
People have a right to know what their taxes are going towards.
Each card is one question, with Amy Rosen filed under the answer they gave and their own words underneath it. The other options offered are not shown, nor how the rest of the field answered.
