Calgary is growing fast—and how we move needs to grow with it. It’s time to make it safer, more affordable, and more efficient to get around our city, no matter how we travel.

That’s why I’ve released a 30-point mobility plan → www.jeromy.ca/news-1/polic...

🧵 #yyccc

Alt text slide one: Square image with dark blue and white section. The text in the dark blue section reads,
"Policy Brief
Moving Forward
A vision for a safer and more connected Calgary"
The white section reads,
"Mobility is about more than getting from point A to point B. It affects how we live our lives, and how safe our streets are for our kids, our parents, and our neighbours. Whether we drive, take transit, walk our kids to school or run errands, mobility determines our opportunities, safety, and quality of life.

As mayor, this is my vision for a Calgary where our infrastructure keeps pace with growth–and serves everyone."

There is a url link in yellow, red and blue reading "ourpathforward.ca". A navy arrow points to the bottom right corner of the page.

Alt text slide two: Square image with a white background. The top left corner reads,
"Jeromy
Farkas", with the "M" coloured yellow, red and blue. The text reads,
"Prioritize safe, accessible, and reliable streets, collaborate with city partners and school boards, launch a Collision Review Capital Funding Program, and more.

Fix potholes faster using performance-based metrics for city contractors and car commuting more predictable with 10-year construction schedules and real time maps.

Make transit better by investing in service, finishing Phase 1 of the Green Line, plan transit capital investment in lockstep with new neighbourhoods and sustained funding to the Low-Income Transit Pass.

Take politics out of active transportation funding, build more protected walking and wheeling infrastructure, expand secure bike parking and invest in Plus-15 network.

Move goods around the city more efficiently by implementing a Logistics Lab, investing in a Calgary Goods Movement Network, coordinating land-use planning for industrial zones and high-capacity infrastructure and more."

There is a url link in yellow, red and blue reading, "ourpathforward.ca". A navy blue arrow points to the bottom right corner of the page.

Alt text slide three:
Square image with a navy background. The top left corner reads,
"Jeromy
Farkas", with the "M" coloured yellow, red and blue.
The text reads, "Visit the complete Policy Brief for my 30 commitments to building a smart, connected transportation network that makes Calgary safer and more affordable."
The bottom of the image has a handwritten signature in white, which reads, "Jeromy".

The story of our friendship and collaboration centres around leaps of faith. First with Daorcey and Jeromy, who moved past a tumultuous relationship in City Hall to respect and reconciliation. Then Jeromy and I, reconsidering assumptions and trusting each other to start building something great. 2/
