Robert Vagramov Campaign hasn't added a story.
For the past four years, I’ve had the honour of representing
my hometown on City Council.
Last election, with SkyTrain’s completion imminent, many were
concerned that the future of our city would be shaped by
overdevelopment. When I rallied against the 'Metrotownification' of
Port Moody back in 2014, it was out of concern of what
could be planned;
Today, I am concerned
about what has been planned.
Despite election promises to the contrary, Port Moody
has been steered towards an unsustainable course since the
last election.
Projects of record-breaking scale have been added to our
Official Community Plan (OCP), blowing past our agreed-upon growth
targets. Traffic concerns and our parks don’t seem to get addressed
meaningfully, and quality of life concerns now get treated as annoying
hurtles to overcome in public hearings, rather than being the starting
point for discussions around growth.
This is what pushed me to run for Mayor.
As we grow our population from 33,551 to our planned target of
50,000, we need to keep Port Moody amazing.
That means:
✓ STICKING TO THE PLAN
- FOCUS THE UPCOMING 2019 OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN
REVISION ON QUALITY OF LIFE, not
increasing growth targets to benefit builders
✓ PROTECT AND EXPAND PARKS - INCLUDING ROCKY
POINT, BERT FLINN, AND REVITALIZING NEIGHBOURHOOD PARKS to ensure
access to our world-class natural areas into the future
✓ PLAN PROPERLY FOR TRANSPORTATION AND
FACILITIES - ADDRESS CONGESTION, AND MODERNIZE CAPITAL PLAN
so we can fund the next generation of civic facilities
without privatizingthe last of our publicly-owned land
To be clear: I am not anti-development.
Our OCP sets an ambitious target for the growth of Port Moody,
our region needs housing, and parts of our city are overdue for a facelift.
Now that we are on the cusp of reshaping Port Moody, we need a
brighter, more focused vision for 2040 that respects these growth
targets, focuses on our quality of life first, and puts our community
in the drivers’ seat, letting developers build around our needs, not
on top of them.
Going up against an incumbent is a challenge.
Especially when your opponent has built a career on large-scale
campaign contributions from builders.
That's why changing leadership at City Hall is going to take a
grassroots effort to fund lawn signs, events, brochures, and mail
outs. Donate what you can, share this campaign, and encourage others
to donate.
Together, we can keep Port Moody amazing for
generations to come.
