As a third term Alderman, Gord will continue to focus on the issues that matter to his constituents, including:

• Completing the extension of LRT to Crowfoot Centre.  This extension is planned to be completed and in operation in 2008.  Work is underway on the Nose Hill Drive/Crowchild Trail interchange, the LRT park and ride facility and LRT station.  Track is being laid for the extension from Dalhousie Station to Crowfoot Landing. 
• Improving Transit shuttle service between the communities in Ward 2 and the LRT stations serving those communities ensuring residents of Ward 2 have efficient, reliable access to affordable transit service city wide. 
• Managing traffic and noise conditions along John Laurie Boulevard, Country Hills Boulevard, Nose Hill Drive, Sarcee and Shaganappi Trails. 
• Ensuring development agreements with those developing land in Symons Valley are honoured.  That the road and downstream intersection improvements required to meet the demands of the new communities are built co-incident with development.
