By listening very closely and very respectfully to all of their voices because they all have valid points of view and we have we have to move goods via trucks, they need truck parking and they need arterial roads because time is money for businesses. Congestion causes problems and increased … cost for businesses. We also have to take care of pedestrians. Now I'm super happy that we're getting this BRT. … line. It's only been like 15 years in the making. But that's one set of options. We still need roads. We still need those roads to work effectively. And the Chamber's paper did remark on using some new technology initiatives and AI help. Not that I like AI, but that's another story. AI in order to keep the traffic moving. So that's what I would do. At Council table. Thank you.

Well, the reality is we can't do everything for everybody. We just can't afford to. And we have to live within our means, and this is why I think we're in a financial crisis right now. We're not living within our means. We've taken the Township, and I'm not going to say we because I don't didn't support a lot of those votes. We've taken the Township's credit card and run it up to the max. There's no more room on it. We have to get it under control. So the very first thing that Langley Strong is gonna do if they're elected is they're gonna have a forensic audit in the first 100 days. We need to know exactly how deep that hole is. And then we have to make a plan and a budget to get out of it. Thank you.

Well, I certainly don't want to repeat what happened in Surrey and Burnaby in the first two years that they had their SkyTrain. And I think we can move around that. And I think the way we move around it is by having a proactive safety plan in place before we actually cut the ribbon and open the doors on the new train. And that's going to require collaboration around several tables, including Township bylaws, RCMP, transit police. It's going to require discussions with our neighbors to make sure that our plans are all coordinated. So that's the number one thing that I think should be done. I do believe that is an issue that the Chamber has highlighted and I thank you very much for highlighting it for us as candidates. Thank you.

More planning staff to update bylaws, more bylaw enforcement and fines to regulate ditch filling, soil deposits, truck parking.

Update Rural Plan with LOTS of public input from all affected parties. Reduce large parcel subdivision on ALR land (keep big remaining farms at same size). More law enforcement and fines. Find suitable parking areas NOT on ALR areas.

1. GIVE COMMITTEE A CLEAR SAY IN WHAT THEIR ROLE SHOULD BE. 2. UPDATE AAC T. of R. accordingly. 3. Council should consult with AAC more often.

Stronger heritage protections is all about respect for heritage and for our communities. Once these buildings are gone, they're gone. And they've all been part of our collective community experience. That's created a recognizable community for us all. We need to protect that heritage. And we need to hear the voices of the community in response to protecting that heritage.

This is all about respect for communities, and absolutely, that is the case in Fort Langley. Only should we update this plan, yes, but only with full and meaningful consultation with the community. We need enforceable priorities, and we need to inform the community about changes that are being made.

Kim Richter, Langley Strong. All the arts are important to both culture and community, ours included. Finally, I think we need to deliver on a performing arts centre, which is long overdue for this community. And we need to continue and enhance the community grants that we make available for arts-related festivals. And Fort Langley is, of course, home to the jazz festival, and that brings so much tourism to us every summer. Thank you.

Hi, all. I'm Kim Richter. And I'm proud proudly running with the Langley Strong Team in this election. I've served this community for over 25 years, and I have never seen our Langley in a state like it's in today. We're in the middle of three crises. Number one, financial debt is out of control. Number two, governance. There's a lack of transparency and openness. And number three, community well-being. Neighborhood voices are being ignored. We need to tackle … these … head-on now, and Langley Strong has a plan to do so. Our plan starts by restoring respect for you the taxpayers, you the business owners, and for all our communities. It's a critical election for all of us. Thank you for being here tonight. Your vote matters.

Thank you, … October 17th is your chance to demand better for our Langley. We all need a positive path forward. All our voices deserve to be heard in Council decisions. Your vote and your voice matters. Please vote to restore respect in Langley Township on October 17th. Thank you for your time tonight.

Hi all, I'm Kim Richter, and I'm proudly running with the Langley Strong team. And I've served this community for over 25 years. And I've never seen our township in the state that it's currently in. We're right in the middle of three crises. Number one, financial. Debt is out of control. Number two, governance. We need one set of rules for everybody. And three, community well-being. And neighborhood voices are being ignored. The Langley we know and love is being threatened. And Langley Strong has a positive path forward to help us do so. This is a critical election for our Langley and our home. Langley is at a turning point. And I believe experience is what matters most when the decisions are this big.

Hi, Kim Richter, proud member of the Langley Strong team. October 17th is your chance to demand better for our township.

Your voice and your vote matter. I respectfully and humbly ask again for your vote and your trust for myself and the Langley Strong team. Thank you for your time tonight.
