Age-Friendly City

Make us proud to be citizens of this city.

Clean it up. You have the manpower. Put it to coordinated , controlled , meaningful efforts.

Indoor walking track in the east end have to go to Jack Byrne when the weather is bad.

Walk in Safety Outdoor Public Stairways

Some of the longer concrete steps to downtown are hazardous. Parts are missing. Stepping is irregular. The street is naturally steep as it is Don’t force us out onto the street because the steps are hazardous. Going downtown shouldn’t have to be hazardous. I like walking safe step.

“Senior Friendly” Police Officers

Feeling like a common criminal due to police officers poor attitude and disinterest. I was mugged and robbed yet I felt marginalized and am still adversely affected by her treatment. Total disregard for my age or the trauma I was experiencing. She traumatized me more than the muggers. I expected some kind of empathy. All I got was disinterest and rushed. Police need training in dealing with seniors.

City Programs : include opportunities for seniors and young people to engage around activities where they can bond over a period of time.

Foster connections with younger generations

Access to Vaccination and Shots by creating more clinics

Many 80-year-olds have to go across town to the Village for shots or vaccination. Once there they have to wait in line even if they cannot stand for very long. Transportation is hard on them. Instead of one main clinic that everyone goes to, please create clinics in multiple locations in order to avail of the flu and Covid vaccine. Health Care should be assessable for everyone.

Better sidewalk plowing in winter

We can’t get out if our sidewalks are no properly cleared

Ploughed sidewalks, bike lanes on all major streets, all trails dual use, more frequent transit, tax breaks on housing,

Insist that owners of parking lots maintain them in a condition that is safe for use.

Walking from my car to some stores is the most perilous thing I do. The asphalt is broken up, it is very easy to stumble or fall. When a senior falls it usually results in a broken bone with serious consequences.
