Roads
Do you support the expansion of major roads?
Context:
The Yellowhead Trail Freeway Conversion project, expected to be complete by the end of 2027, will cost more than $1 billion with about half coming from the city's budget. Nearly $2 billion will be spent in the current budget cycle on roads, including neighbourhood renewal, the Terwillegar Drive Expansion, and other projects.

Voter responses

Overall
By ward
Note: Taproot excluded surveys with fewer than two answers from these results. It was possible for voters to fill out the survey multiple times, but unlikely at a large scale given the structure of the survey. Voters were not able to select "I don't have a position on this issue".
