Hi Sam Nabi,
I intend to phone you if I may. What time of day is best with you?
I may be interested in helping...at the very least can you let me know
what night you will be presenting to Kitchener City Council : January 13?
or January 20?
Keep up the good work eh I did stop and filled out a survey during your
event. Can you add me to your list?
Best regards and sincerely, Myron Steinman
Furthermore, I have one initial conversation with Karen Redman Chairperson
Region of Waterloo on the future of the Charles Street Terminal site,,, but
I have lost touch with what is happening. "The future of the Charles Street
Transportation site was the precipitating factor why I let my name stand
for mayor of Kitchener. I would ensure there are more opportunities with
public engagement from citizens of Kitchener on the future of this site."

Thank for passing on the budget link. Things are looking good for the
Gaukel Green project at this point. Somewhat a stroke of luck that the
upper half has been closed for months and everyone can see how little
difference it makes. I think any opposition to the plan is minimal.

Hi everyone,
First of all I just want to express my deep gratitude for everyone who
helped out during September's pop-up park on Gaukel St. We made a lot of
noise and built up a lot of support for turning Gaukel St. into a car-free
space.
Please check out the media coverage and results from our survey on
https://gaukel.ca/.
*Kitchener's 2020 Budget*
The proposed 2020 Kitchener budget includes funding for a Gaukel Street
Closure in 2020 and 2021. This is the result of incredible hard work
and advocacy by community members, business leaders, staff and our
city Council. This budget proposal follows up the City of
Kitchener's decision to include Gaukel Street as a pedestrian route in
its 2019-2022 Strategic Plan.
Urbanist Brent Toderian says, "The truth about a city's aspirations isn't
found in its vision. It's found in its budget." We're so happy to see the
commitment to Gaukel Street being realized in the 2020 budget!
Take the 2020 Budget Survey to express your support for the Gaukel Street
closure! https://www.engagewr.ca/kitchener-budget-2020
If you are interested in putting together a formal presentation to
council about the budget on January 13th or 20th, please reply here :)
Cheers,
Sam Nabi
