Brendan Gorman:

“In terms of your specific questions I am not sure. I’d have to look into that further if I’m lucky enough to be elected.
I certainly consider myself a supporter of green space. After all I made the conscience decision to move from suburban Kanata to a 3 acre private property in West Carleton.

I am a road cyclist which also makes you develop a strong appreciation for green space.

Generally speaking I am a believer in the ideas of Jane Jacobs. Any proposals brought forward that are in line with her thoughts and ideas I’d be extremely warm to. From what I remember she had rather intelligent designs on how to avoid creating concrete jungles.”

Two candidates were not accessible. The other two candidates did not respond.
