Max's priorities, applied here

What Max Zahedi proposes for Lions Gate / Lower Capilano

Each item is labelled: a proposal says how it would be done and who has to agree, on its own page; a priority is a commitment about how the District would be run.

Wastewater accountability Campaign priority

The North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant is being built in this community, on the Pemberton Avenue lands. Its cost is Max's first priority: a public, line-by-line account of how a $700 million estimate became $3.86 billion, and who decided what.

Read the full priority

Traffic and transportation Proposal

Marine Drive and Capilano Road are District roads; the Lions Gate Bridge and Highway 1 are the Province's. Max's construction calendar covers the District streets, and the bridge approaches are exactly what a united North Shore voice at the Mayors' Council is for.

Read the full proposals

Housing and neighbourhoods Campaign priority

Lions Gate Village is a designated centre already being rebuilt. Max's position is that the roads, transit and utilities that serve it are delivered on the same timeline as the homes.

Read the full priority

From the platform: Lions Gate / Norgate / Pemberton Heights Proposal

  • Pemberton Heights traffic: If traffic evidence shows turning restrictions are warranted, I will support testing them as a monitored pilot that checks emergency access and whether traffic shifts to other streets.
  • Norgate flooding: I will ask for updated flood hazard information and a ranked list of drainage and coastal protections, with ownership, funding and maintenance spelled out, seeking collaboration with the Squamish Nation.
  • Lions Gate amenities: I will publish which public-space and transportation commitments are secured, what gaps remain and who is responsible for delivering them.
