Milton

Abdulkareem Akbik’s Priority Issues

Neighbourhood Safety and Property Protection:

Increase Halton Regional Police funding, partner with local organizations to launch more secure Neighbourhood Watch programs.

Two-way regional transit and infrastructure-first planning:

Fight gridlock by securing the new Agerton GO Station and pushing Metrolinx for true all-day, two-way rail service, while optimizing Milton Transit routes to connect new neighborhoods to major hubs during peak hours

Youth Recreation and Community Space Expansion:

Advocate that new community centres and youth recreational spaces be built concurrently with new housing.

Ending the stop-and-go gridlock:

End stop-and-go traffic frustrations by expanding real-time adaptive smart signals to synchronize major corridors like Derry and Britannia

Traffic Calming and School Zone Safety:

Fast-track physical traffic calming infrastructure near schools.

Commercial Diversification:

Protect premium employment land from heavy warehouse sprawl.

True “complete communities” vs. urban sprawl:

. Prevent unchecked urban sprawl by mandating mixed-use zoning, legally requiring new developments to include local retail shops, medical clinics, pharmacies, and walkable trails directly in their blueprints

Tax Relief and Fiscal Discipline:

Shield homeowners from massive property tax hikes by implementing a strict “Growth Pays for Growth” model, maximizing development charges on corporate developers to fund new infrastructure instead of local families.
