Reliable Local Transit
Reliable public transit is an essential city service. For too many Ward 2 residents, getting where they need to go means long waits, missed connections, indirect routes and too few options when the system is disrupted.

Better conversations. Better solutions. Better community.

Platform
Here are the priorities Jenna Jessop will champion on Ottawa City Council.
Responsible Growth and Infrastructure That Keeps Up
Ward 2 is growing fast, and the infrastructure that supports it needs to keep pace. Growth should benefit existing residents, not leave our community playing catch-up on transportation, safety and services.
Safer, more connected neighbourhoods
Everyone should feel safe getting around their neighbourhood, whether on foot, by bike or behind the wheel. Too many residents deal with speeding traffic, dangerous intersections and gaps in sidewalks and pathways that make it hard to get where they need to go.
Better Communication with City Hall
Jenna believes residents should not have to understand every City process or know the right person to contact in order to be heard. A councillor's role is to connect residents with their City, make information easier to understand and ensure community concerns are represented in the decisions being made.
Supporting Families and Community Life
Strong communities need places where neighbours can gather, play and spend time together. Jenna wants Ward 2 to have parks, recreation and community spaces that reflect the needs of the people who actually live here — for children, youth, adults and seniors alike.
