Jenni Cathcart for City Council — Town Ward.
Hi. I'm Jenni Cathcart.
I'm running for City Council because I love what Peterborough could be -- and I am confident we can get there together. Like you, I've watched our downtown struggle with vacant storefronts, neglected properties and people who need more support than they're getting. A thriving downtown lifts the whole city. I'm ready to fight for it. Are you?
Vision & Priorities
A Downtown We're Proud to Support
Streets, storefronts, and standards.
A vibrant downtown starts with the basics. I'll advocate for lower property taxes that give local businesses a leg up over big-box stores, bylaw enforcement to create accountability for maintaining lots and buildings, as well as road repair and more frequent garbage pick-ups.
A Safe & Welcoming Downtown
For everyone, at every hour.
A thriving downtown is one where people feel comfortable walking, shopping and spending time. I'll advocate for stronger community safety partnerships, real solutions that transition unhoused people into stable housing, as well as more funding for police and first responders to keep our neighborhoods safe.
Downtown = Home
Affordable housing steps from downtown.
A healthy downtown is a place more people can call home. I'll champion downtown housing -- starting with development of the Baskin-Robbins site -- by exploring incentives for developments that support mixed-income housing.
