VOTE OCTOBER 26TH 2026

Traffic Safety is a top concern of Oshawa residents since Bradley has been on Council. Our City grows rapidly and is busier, creating more commuters.   Bradley has taken active steps to address this issue by utilizing Council approved traffic and speed control devices strategically. Radar speed boards, speed bollards and other tools are available and ready to implement where the problems are. Just call Bradley and ask for your neighbourhood to be reviewed. 

If elected in Ward 2, Bradley will use his experience to deploy more electronic speed boards and other speed deterrents to keep the Ward and Oshawa residents safe. 

In co-ordination with traffic specialists at the City of Oshawa, Bradley will continue to advocate for strategic sites to implement more Stop Signs. 

Noise Management/ Oshawa Airport

Oshawa's Ward 2 has a strategically situated Municipal Airport with increased air traffic climbing over the years. Residents close by have been rightly concerned about their quality of life. In response, The City of Oshawa executed an Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the remaining flight school who operates from the airport and has a significant wing-print over Oshawa skies.  Of concern to area residents is that the MOU outlined an agreement prohibiting circuit training from 4:00pm Saturday until Monday morning.  This is only the start of reducing excess noise pollution over Oshawa. Bradley's plan is to lead in having these minutes codified with Transportation Canada so that circuit training from Oshawa or any other municipal airport will be legally restricted over Oshawa airspace. This will be critical for families enjoying the warm long summer nights in Ward 2.   

To Often in our City and in Ward 2 properties are left unkempt and unsightly, leaving residents frustrated and upset. 

In the past 8 years Bradley has worked with all City departments, as a Chair and Vice Chair of your Corporate and Finance Services Committee, and a prominent member of your Safety and Facility Services Committee to find solutions, fast and effectively. 

If elected Bradley will lean on his experience and relationships at City Hall to enhance response times to these complaints and ensure Property Owners comply with the Property Standards By-Law throughout Ward 2 and the City of Oshawa.

The  Building Homes Act, 2022 (Bill 3) and the Better Municipal Governance Act, 2022 (Bill 39) has delegated City Budgetary Control solely to the Mayor.  This unpopular reality has left Councillors fewer options to promote their Ward's needs and priorities. What can elected Councillors do?  Bradley has and will continue to precisely pinpoint Ward 2 projects that need investment and will leverage his experience to get things funded.  

During past Oshawa City Budgets, before the legislation changed, Bradley supported minimal tax increases that were at or below the rate of inflation. Bradley has and will continue supporting priority spending on core services to the benefit of all residents.   

If elected, Bradley will take this approach to your Regional Level of Government and advocate for low tax increases, strategic spending and he will call out wasteful spending. 

As a Father of 4 active children, Bradley regularly uses our parks for recreation and family sporting activities.  

During the 2019 budget process Bradley’s motion attracted Council's unanimous support to convert all City Parks from problematic sand base (home to wasp nests, feral cats, rodents,) to the safer option of modified wood chips. 

Bradley supported park re-development all over the City, including Rose Valley Park, Easton Park and the massive updates to Rotary Park. Bradley recognizes the importance of building community and creating a desirable destination for families to relax and enjoy. He will continue to support these measures for all City Parks.  

Coyote

Recent coyote attacks have been in the headlines. Ward 2 suffers from a high number of coyote sightings and incidences in comparison to the rest of the City.  

As Chair of Corporate Services in the last term of Council, Bradley was essential in introducing the Coyote Response Management Plan that sought to use education to allow for a peaceful co-existence. This plan needs updating. We are now forced to take more serious steps to ensure the safety of Ward 2 and Oshawa residents.  If elected, Bradley will lead the review of the Coyote Management Response Plan in coordination with YOUR feedback to minimize this threat to the safety of Ward 2.  Results on this file are important to Bradley as children and family pets seem to be most at risk.

Bradley will ensure safe equipment, splash pads, park maintenance such as tree removal, grass cutting and graffiti removal are all taken care of in our beautiful Ward 2 recreation spaces.   

Durham Regional Council has endorsed "in principle" a $1.1 Billion Dollar spending plan presented by The Durham Regional Police.  The next elected Regional Council in 2026 will be integral in ensuring the proper allocation of these funds.  Bradley wants value for the dollars spent from our DRPS professionals.  On occasion the community is left frustrated when an officer is needed and not available.  Residents deserve better response times from Durham Police. Bradley wants to advocate on this issue.

The next Durham Regional Chair will be appointed by the Province, with "Strong Chair Powers." Again, budgets will be the sole responsibility of the Chair.  Experience is needed to navigate what can be accomplished by your Council representative.  Bradley will pursue low tax increases and highlight COST OF LIVING concerns, passionately.

Transportation projects through Oshawa's main corridor will need a major focus after this election.  Rumors of a gondola conception up Simcoe Street North have residents worried about neighbourhood disruptions and Ward 2/Oshawa's reputational impacts. Bradley is opposed to this idea.  A strong voice and advocate for Ward 2 is needed at the Regional Level to ensure all transportation projects involving Ward 2 are practical, realistic and do not disrupt our lives overtly.  

Bradley prides himself on answering your questions and concerns in a timely fashion and will continue to respond to your concerns and action your requests in a fast and friendly manner. 

Recent decisions at the Ontario Superior Court have heavily restricted Municipal and Regional Governments ability to evict and dismantle homeless encampments.  The most recent decision out of Waterloo struck down a specific by-law authorizing the eviction of encampment residents. This has left Ontario local governments confused and unsure how to respond to this sensitive reality. Currently, Regional Governments in various jurisdictions have appealed these latest decisions. Bradley believes the Region of Durham should join the fight for clarity at the Higher Court.  Bradley needs your help to lead the effort to review the Durham Regional Encampment Strategy to respond to these new legal realities. Bradley will weigh compassion and the public interest in charting a way forward with new strategies designed to protect Ward 2 and Oshawa Green-spaces for generations to come.
