Shannon Weber’s Priority Issues

Responsible Fiscal Management & Property Tax Alignment

Working to bring annual property tax increases in line with inflation while prioritizing core services, essential infrastructure, and rigorous long-term cost assessments for major projects.

Small Business Concierge Service

Establishing a dedicated concierge approach at City Hall to streamline permits, zoning, patios, and municipal processes for local businesses.

Infrastructure-First Budgeting & Asset Maintenance

Implementing an infrastructure-first budgeting approach that prioritizes the maintenance of existing assets and fully funds a multi-year road resurfacing and pothole-prevention plan before considering discretionary projects.

Housing Action Plan & Municipal Land Review

Establishing measurable approval timelines, annual delay-reduction targets, public reporting, and community-driven reviews of underused municipal land for new housing opportunities.

Basic Services Maintenance & Renewal Standards

Prioritizing a fully funded road resurfacing plan, transparent long-term renewal schedules for parks and playgrounds, and measurable maintenance standards for everyday neighbourhood basics like snow clearing, lighting, and sidewalks.

Trackable Requests & Accessible Decision Summaries

Implementing trackable municipal requests and publishing accessible summaries detailing decisions, costs, impacts, and alternatives.

Taxpayer Value Guarantee & Efficiency Drive

Challenging municipal departments to cut red tape, leverage technology for productivity, and find efficiencies to keep annual property-tax increases as close to inflation as possible while protecting essential services.

Thriving Roots for Youth, Families & Seniors

Creating an inclusive community where young people can establish roots, families can thrive, and seniors can age in place.

Waterloo winters are predictable, and our service standards should reflect that. I will review snow-clearing routes and performance after major winter events, identify recurring problem areas and ensure services keep pace with a growing city.
