Dear Friends and Neighbours: It continues to be an absolute pleasure to serve as your Member of Parliament and represent your views in Ottawa. Working for you means carrying forward your concerns to government colleagues in a timely way to ensure that positive changes are made in Davenport. I sincerely appreciate that so many of you have taken time to share your ideas and concerns with me. I am excited by the many great initiatives that our federal government has already taken this year and the direction where our community and country are headed. I hope you’ve had a great summer. I’ve celebrated with you at a wide range of events, festivals, and activities around Davenport. We have had the opportunity for many interesting conversations. You’ve shared your news and you’ve also asked for more details about my work. Specifically, a number of you have asked for more information about new federal government legislation and announcements. I will be sending out information notes such as this one to keep you informed and to help you obtain more information. To view all topics with relevant information links, I invite you to visit my website at juliedzerowicz.ca. It is wonderful to be back home in Toronto for the summer. I am grateful to every constituent who has taken the time to call, write, or stop by my office to voice concerns and express delight about topics that are important to you and our community. Your engaged efforts allow me to successfully advocate for you on your behalf and to make Davenport a healthier, more vibrant neighbourhood. When the House of Commons is in session, I am in Ottawa from Monday to Thursday but always back in Davenport on Friday and the weekends. As always do not hesitate to contact me if there is anything on your mind or if I can be of service to you and your family. It is a pleasure and a privilege to serve you, Julie Dzerowicz Member of Parliament, Davenport

DESIGNING THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION I N CANADA

NEW INVESTMENTS IN INFRASTRUCTURE

Many Davenport residents use public transportation everyday to get to work, visit friends and loved ones, run errands, and visit some of the great spots in and around our city and region. Over the next 12 years, our federal government has committed to investing $180 billion in infrastructure in order to ensure the foundation Canada needs for a successful economy. A significant portion of this investment is for transit and active transportation infrastructure. Phase I funds flowed last year and have been allocated to the Eglinton West line, TTC signalling improvements and vehicle refurbishments, in addition to bike infrastructure among many other things. Our federal government is currently negotiating agreements with each province and territory to flow Phase II infrastructure funds. The provinces together with municipalities will determine the priorities for public and regional transit. I look forward to announcing how this funding will benefit Davenport in the future. Since being elected, I have been a very strong advocate for transit infrastructure dollars to be used for bike paths and infrastructure. Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, the Honourable Amerjeet Sohi, has been a very big advocate and I am proud that the government’s investments thus far have been allocated for projects such as new bike parking spots at 40 TTC stations and adding over 525km of new bike routes including the extension of the West Toronto Rail Path. Finally, on behalf of Minister Sohi, I recently announced the installation of 70 new Bike Share Toronto stations in Davenport and around Toronto, 50 of which are funded through our federal investments!

If you have a transportation issue that you would like me to advocate for, please write me below.
