Ward 56: Community Hub
Track issues, support petitions, stay informed
Stay informed about local service delivery issues, community initiatives, and municipal updates affecting our area.
This platform exists to make community action simple, transparent, and effective. Too many municipal issues in our area go unresolved because individual complaints are not recorded in the system. When residents unite behind a clear petition, the municipality is forced to take notice and act. Whether the problem relates to infrastructure, safety, maintenance, or public services, your signature strengthens the collective voice demanding solutions.

Overgrown Trees Interfering with Power Lines
Overgrown municipal trees in Brooklyn and Hatfield are interfering with overhead power lines, causing repeated outages and infrastructure damage.
Pedestrian Safety
Improving pedestrian safety in Hatfield is a priority for Ward 56. Several high-risk intersections — Roper & Lynnwood, Herold & Lynnwood, and South & Jan Shoba — have been identified where students and residents face daily danger.
