A resident of Langford for 49 years, Robert Fraser wants to makes peopleB次元官网网址檚 everyday lives a bit easier.

Walking and busing are FraserB次元官网网址檚 most frequented methods of transportation and there are things he has seen on the ground as a pedestrian that motivated him to run for Langford mayor.

He values public safety and wants to ensure that people can still access sidewalks safely during construction throughout Langford. Fraser said Jacklin Road is a major route for pedestrians and he has seen people in electric wheelchairs use the roadway because sidewalks arenB次元官网网址檛 always accessible.

Fraser is concerned about the environment and stormwater management around construction sites, of which he said the procedures followed on site are proprietary, but he wants to address them.

He is cost-conscious and keeping added expense low is important to him. For example, he noted he would look for cheaper options for people needing to purchase extra materials for sewer hook ups.

Convenience is something he feels many would value and thinks implementing more public transit and high occupancy vehicle lanes is something residents would value also.
