Your City Hall: Housing, Accessibility, and Those Spring Currents
Good morning, Peterborough. Marcus Otonabee-Singh here on the Morning Wire, flowing to you from the Electric City.
Here's the thing about Peterborough – the currents of civic life, they often flow in ways that touch our most personal spaces. This past week at City Hall, the conversation kept returning to two big themes: housing and accessibility. These aren't just bureaucratic items; they're about making sure every person here, from the seniors in Bridgenorth to young families by Jackson Park, can find a place to belong and move freely within our community.
**What Flowed This Week**
* **Housing Search:** There was a lot of talk about how people are finding homes here in the Electric City. It's a challenging current to navigate right now, and council is looking at ways to ease that journey for folks. * **Accessibility:** Ensuring our city is truly open to everyone was another strong current. This means everything from curb cuts downtown to making sure information is easily available for all abilities. It’s about building a respectful relationship with the land and with each other.
The spring weather, with its unpredictable shifts, also reminded us of the larger currents shaping our days. But at City Hall, the focus remains on ensuring our local waters run clear for everyone.
This is the Electric City — small town, big current. Let's go.
