Mike Vogiatzakis, a mayoral candidate, promised to increase security in public parks and remove individuals using drugs if elected. At a news conference, Vogiatzakis stated that individuals found bringing drugs to parks would be removed immediately, along with their needles. Despite existing park cleanup programs, Vogiatzakis claimed that green spaces still contain significant hazards, posing risks to children.
He criticized the city's road conditions, expressing dissatisfaction with potholes even in late August. If elected, Vogiatzakis plans to explore longer-lasting materials for road repairs, aiming to address deep cracks and crevices. He also pledged to reverse certain parts of Winnipeg's transit system, which some riders find inconvenient.
Campaign spokesman Colin Fast disagreed with Vogiatzakis's plans, stating that his proposals lack understanding of city operations and budgeting.
