VOTE OCTOBER 26TH 2026

Traffic Safety was a top concern of Oshawa residents over the last 8 years that Bradley has been on Council. Bradley has taken active steps to address the issue by utilizing Council approved traffic and speed control devices, radar speed boards and other tools. Bradley has worked with concerned residents to have these speed deterrents rotated throughout Oshawa. 

If elected in Ward 2 Bradley will use his experience to deploy more electronic speed boards and other speed deterrents to keep the Ward and Oshawa residents safe. 

In co-ordination with traffic specialists at the City of Oshawa, Bradley will continue to advocate for strategic sites to implement more Stop Signs. 

To Often in our City and in Ward 2 properties are left unkempt and unsightly, leaving residents frustrated and upset. 

In the past 8 years Bradley has worked with all City departments, as a Chair and Vice Chair of your Corporate and Finance Services Committee, and a prominent member of your Safety and Facility Services Committee to find solutions, fast and effectively. 

If elected Bradley will lean on his experience and relationships at City Hall to enhance response times to these complaints and ensure Property Owners comply with the Property Standards By-Law throughout Ward 2 and the City of Oshawa.

The  Building Homes Act, 2022 (Bill 3) and the Better Municipal Governance Act, 2022 (Bill 39) has delegated City Budgetary Control solely to the Mayor.  This unpopular reality has left Councillors fewer options to promote their Ward's needs and priorities. What can elected Councillors do?  Bradley has and will continue to precisely pinpoint Ward 2 projects that need investment and will leverage his experience to get things funded.  

During the past Oshawa City Budgets, before the legislation changed, Bradley supported minimal tax increases that were at or below the rate of inflation, while supporting priority spending on core services to the  benefit of all Residents.   

If elected Bradley will take this approach to the Regional Level of Government and advocate for low tax increases, strategic spending and calling out waste. 

As a father of four children, Bradley regularly utilizes our City Parks. 

During the 2019 budget process Bradley’s motion garnered Council's unanimous support to convert all City Parks from problematic sand base (home to wasp nests, feral cats, rodents.)  to the safer option of modified wood chips. 

Bradley supported park re-development all over the city, including Rose Valley Park, Easton Park and the massive updates to Rotary Park Bradley recognizes City Park's vital importance to building community and creating a desirable destination for families. 

If elected Bradley will target all Ward 2 Parks in need of updating. Bradley will  ensure safe equipment, splash pads, park maintenance such as tree removal, grass cutting and graffiti removal are all taken care of in  beautiful Ward 2  recreation spaces.   

Durham Regional Council has endorsed "in principle" a 1.1 Billion Dollar spending plan presented by The Durham Regional Police.  The next elected Regional Council  in 2026 will be integral in ensuring the proper allocation of these funds.  Bradley wants value for the dollars spent from our DRPS professionals.  On occasion the community is left frustrated when an officer is needed and not available.  No one is to blame, but Residents deserve better response times from Durham Police. Bradley wants to advocate on this issue.

The next Durham Region Chair will be appointed by the Province, with "Strong Mayor Powers." Again, budgets will be the sole responsibility of the Chair.  Experience is needed here to navigate what can be accomplished by your Council representative.  Bradley will pursue low tax increases and highlight COST OF LIVING concerns, passionately.

Transportation projects through Oshawa's main corridor will need a major focus after this election.  Rumors of a gondola conception up Simcoe Street North have residents worried about neighborhood disruptions and Ward 2/Oshawa's reputational impacts. Bradley is opposed to this idea.  A strong voice and advocate for Ward 2 is needed at the Regional Level to ensure all transportation projects involving Ward 2 are practical, realistic and do not disrupt our lives overtly.  

Bradley prides himself on answering your questions and concerns in a timely fashion and will continue to respond to your concerns in this regard and action your requests in a fast and friendly manner.
