Solo Spotlight with Ryan. Today’s guest: Mark Hillman—PACE candidate for Ward papastew (Garneau, Strathcona, Queen Alexandra, Belgravia, Windsor Park, Ritchie, Allendale, Pleasantview and more).

We keep it human and practical: fewer slogans, more “show your work.”

In this episode:

• Value for money: where he’d start on spending, and how residents would actually feel it this year.
• Transit & safety: late-night confidence on LRT/bus—presence, patrols, perception vs. reality, and what riders would see change.
• Housing & zoning: what “zone properly” means near stations and on real streets in papastew; trade-offs (height, parking, approval speed).
• Small business on Whyte: break-ins, red tape, and one friction he’d remove this year.
• Parties at City Hall: why PACE, how he handles ward-first vs. caucus-first, and what “clean money” looks like.
• Ward specifics: renters vs. owners, student life vs. sleep, construction impacts, parking reality, River Valley stewardship, and three KPIs he’d publish quarterly.

Listen if you care about: Ward papastew, Whyte Ave, U of A area, LRT safety, practical zoning, small-biz friction, what candidates will change this year.
