“I do not support this project in this location. This is what happens when government is not awake at the wheel and transparent with constituents - and it's too late to turn back. But I will not mislead residents by pretending a mayor can erase a federal approval at this stage. My commitment is to fight for the strongest possible local protections: full transparency, enforceable mitigation, and getting our fair share - so Milton families do not pay for the risk and cost.”

- Force transparency. A Milton CN Accountability Office and a public dashboard: monthly reporting on truck counts, noise, air monitoring, complaints, road impacts, and CN's compliance with its legally binding conditions. Residents will not be left in the dark.
- Negotiate protections in writing. A binding Community Protection and Benefits agreement covering road repairs, truck routing, emergency preparedness, local hiring, noise walls and community mitigation - the same tool used on other major projects.
- Protect the local interface. Enforced truck routes away from residential streets, protections around schools and the hospital, and updated dangerous-goods emergency plans with fire, police, and EMS.
