Steinbach Mayoral Candidate Paul Neustaedter has announced his intention to build a pathway between the Clearspring Greens Area and the rest of Steinbach if he is elected.

Neustaedter says he has heard time and time again from mothers and grandmothers in the area that are concerned about the safety of their children and grandchildren due to the lack of walking paths. He notes safety is one of his top priorities and a pathway would make a huge difference.

"I will work hard with the city, with the council, and with this neighbourhood to find a creative solution to a problem and really we can’t wait for some child to be injured before council works together to have a solution. That is my goal that I would work with council to have that as a one-year priority that I would have a pathway from the Clearspring Greens area to the City of Steinbach."

Neustaedter says if he is elected, he will offer a fresh perspective and will work with all of the parties involved to come up with a creative solution.
