Dear Robert ,

With your support, Vision Vancouver has always fought for better City
services, improved access to crucial community programs, and urgently-needed
investments in real Vancouver priorities such as affordable housing, child
care, and better transit.
�
The proposed 2014 Budget �once again delivers on these key commitments, and
emphasizes our relentless work to bring a new level of business discipline
to City Hall. �On Tuesday night we heard more input at a Special Council
meeting, and I hope you'll take a look and spread the word:

�
It's a budget that keeps taxes low and provides Vancouver residents with
better services than ever before, with over 292 city service metrics showing
that it's been a record year for in-person library visits (6.2 million),
pool visits (2.8 million), learn-to-swim enrolments, and rink visits.
�
The 2014 Capital Plan will also see $72 million invested in better
transportation, $19 million for parks and green space, and $17 million for
new affordable housing.
�
We've certainly come a long way over the last 5 years. When our Vision
Vancouver team was first elected in late 2008, the NPA had left behind a
record of staggering debt, weakened city services, and crippling City-wide
disputes with labour.
�
It hasn't always been easy and we have much more work to do, but your ideas
and energy are helping to build a city that is taking care of the services
that people rely on. Over 1000 residents have already helped shape the
proposed budget with their input, and I hope you'll email me or be in touch
if you have a suggestion of your own.
�
Thanks for everything you do,
�
Raymond Louie ���
Vision Vancouver City Councillor�
