Dave Thompson Ward 4, - for city Council
A councillor for Safety, Security, and Well Being.
Cities thrive on Economics and it's fueled by business, and the economy Growth it creates. Economics and business fund many programs and success is all about Safety and Security. We need the money from economic growth and what it brings to Oshawa and the downtown core. People do not and will not spend money if they feel unsafe and insecure about their personal and public safety. Business in all categories is the foundation that supports the City and Public Funding.
A councillor of the People; for the People.
COPS on BLOCKS (Dave’s Plan)
Aim — To reduce increased crime and violent activity (3 Phases)
Phase #1 – We assign additional Durham Police officers to area deemed to experience an increase in violent activity and crime.
Phase #2 – Once we deem neighbourhood the safe, maintenance level enforcement continues. This phase includes collaboration between the Durham Police Service’s and the City on Community Member Organizations.
Phase #3 – Durham Police Service’s creates a normalizing presence and support system to the community and that empowerment reduces violent activity and crime.
Purpose – Image is not everything but very important and Oshawa must clean up the downtown area for good commerce, and reduce crime in the downtown core, including east and west of Ward 4 and improve our Image.
Ward 4 now has 2 methadone clinics in the downtown core. The newest is just north of the Holiday Inn. (How did that happen? Oshawa Council and Mayor). We also have Cornerstone, the Old Salvation Army. St. Vincent’s Kitchen, Mental Health (Centre St), Welfare Office (Services) Midtown Mall, to help homeless and the poorest. My plan is to clean up the downtown and Ward-4, not add to Ward 4 negative issues. It’s time-the other wards help to benefit the city image and do their fair share.
*No more free needles or handouts in the downtown core.
*Reminder, the homeless can get a meal at Durham Outlook for the Needy.
*Persons with addictions can get help at First-light and the Foundation of Hope.
I care.
Fire Services – Please support our Oshawa Fire Fighters. Let’s hear from our FIRST RESPONDERS and not consultants.
SAFE for Seniors and Children – Less we forget we age, – we all grow older as time passes and we need safety for seniors and children in the downtown cord.
** Sunrise Oshawa Senior Centre, John St, Faith place, Carriage house, Chatterwell, Hillsdale, Parkview, the Bartlett and all women and students downtown.
Part 2
Parks and Upgrades – Rotary Park – This project is taking too long, but I will continue to support it and push to have it completed.
Alexander Park – I propose to realign the baseball diamonds and provide more benches and picnic tables for residents to use. Plant new trees for shade.
Kinsmen Field, Ball Park – I support the upgrading of the bleachers, new bathrooms, players change rooms and a mini restaurant for food and drinks.
ALL PARKS IN Ward 4 – We must open our parks to the public and discard city permits so children and families can enjoy their parks.
I propose to have them reviewed for upgrades (trees, plants, new planting where required, benches and tables as required). Will work with all organizations and sports alliances groups.
Service Oshawa
Patrols on Trails and Parks – Durham Regional Police – I will recommend a new Electric Bike Team to patrol and enforce current laws in Ward 4.
Oshawa By-law Officers – I will recommend they also have electric bikes to assist in enforcement on trails and parks. This should help make the parks and trails a safer place for our taxpayers, seniors and children.
E-Bike Review – I would like your input on licensing for E-Bikes so we can identify riders in the event of an accident. I want our trails and streets safe for use. (I one example, Free Registration)
Memorial Park Concerts – Sponsored by business and community groups to secure top tier and local artist.
To support local artist and musicians. To again have Blues and Jazz fests and local events, including the downtown core.
Remember – these rights and the city of Oshawa; all belong to the people, the taxpayers of Oshawa.
Lest we forget
Elect - Dave Thompson to city council for ward 4
the Election is Oct. 24, 2022
I Dave Thompson, will push city council for a Bronto Sky-lift truck, a 70 meter aerial platform unit for fighting high-rise fires. This style of fire truck is now required in Oshawa for all the new high-rise development buildings and condos being built in Oshawa and Ward 4. This is a necessary investment, for fire safety and city development.
