Coquitlam Candidate Survey Results | 2022 Municipal Elections
In this year's Coquitlam municipal election, there are 3 candidates for mayor and 22 candidates for council. Coquitlam electors will go to the polls to elect one mayor and 8 councillors.
We reached out to candidates with publicly available contact information. The survey opened on September 13th, with responses accepted until September 28th, and no responses were accepted afterwards.
The survey consisted of six multiple choice questions to find out what candidates support. We also asked candidates four long answer questions, followed by an opportunity to leave additional comments.
The long answer questions were:
- How can Coquitlam help fast-forward a two-way active transportation connection to the Port Mann Bridge heading west from Riverview lands and east from King Edward St.?
- What have you done, or will you do to advocate in support of active transportation infrastructure in your city and why?
- Where do you see room for improvement in connecting us with neighboring municipalities for active transportation?
- HUB Cycling has released a Cycling Platform. Which focus areas and points do you endorse, and which ones do you disagree with?
The table below show answers to the multiple choice questions.
