I've noticed that Ward 5 has received less attention in this upcoming municipal election and I am hoping to answer some questions, not only from residents in Ward 5 but from other Calgarians since a Councillor will vote on issues that impact others outside of their Ward.
As an introduction, please see my campaign website here:

Since I know it is a popular topic, I will also link my donor/expense list here:

I've also written a number of blog posts on various policy issues and they are as follows:
The Blue Line extension further up in the NE: https://tudor4ward5.ca/where-is-the-blue-line/
My first article on the same topic from 2017: https://tudor4ward5.ca/green-line-blues/
On the topic of how poor our urban planning is in the new NE communities:

And how we can increase our public transit ridership: https://tudor4ward5.ca/fare-choices/
I've written and spoken on other topics as well but I am sure I'll touch on those issues as I answer your questions. I am hoping to do this as much as possible over the next 2 days, as I will be out door-knocking in the afternoon/evenings. Thank you very much and I look forward to the dialogue.

Hello,
I live in a small city just west of Denver, and there is a municipal ordinance making it a crime to have weeds/grass taller than six inches. Most cities have a more reasonable limit of ten inches.
Last year, we came to the attention of the Code Enforcement officer because our Karen neighbor reported me for having a compost pile. Code Enforcement guy drives by our house at least once a week and sticks a Notice of Violation on our door if anything growing is over six inches tall.
We're on a slope, and have heavy clay soil which is dusty and eroded. Frequent mowing has created short, thick weed stems. I'm pretty sure the weed stems are dead; there aren't any leaves.
Any sources for supporting information is appreciated! Thanks for your help.
