Peterborough City Hall is talking housing again. Still.

Your City Hall talks housing. Still.

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 conversation at City Hall this past week have really been about two big things – where we live, and how we live here. You know, housing, and making sure everyone can get around.

It's been a continuous flow of discussion, with councillors circling back to affordable housing initiatives, what that looks like for folks along the Otonabee, and how we can support new developments without damming up the character of our neighbourhoods.

The other big undercurrent? Accessibility. Discussions touched on making our city a place where everyone, regardless of mobility, can navigate freely – from George Street to the Trans Canada Trail. It’s about ensuring the flow of life isn't impeded for anyone.

* Affordable housing strategies * New housing developments and their impact * Accessibility improvements across the city

For the people of Peterborough, this isn't just bureaucratic talk. These are the foundational currents shaping how we’ll live and move in this community for years to come.

This is the Electric City — small town, big current. Let's go.
