Your City Hall: Housing, Accessibility, and the Strongest 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 and our deepest needs. This past week at City Hall, the conversations have really focused on two powerful streams: housing and accessibility. It's a testament to the way these issues ripple through the entire community, much like the Otonabee River itself.
* **Housing remains front and centre:** Discussions kept circling back to how we create more homes, and more affordable homes, for everyone here in Peterborough. It’s not just about buildings, but about where people can truly put down roots. * **Accessibility is flowing strongly:** There’s been a significant push to ensure our city is welcoming and navigable for all residents, addressing the often unseen barriers that can dam up daily life for many. This isn't just about ramps; it's about inclusive design for our collective future.
The spring storms we’ve seen recently, they remind us that the landscape of our city, both natural and civic, is always shifting. The work at City Hall this week reflects a deep effort to navigate these changes, to ensure the currents serve everyone in our community.
This is the Electric City — small town, big current. Let's go.
