Morgan Lanigan says Saint John is in a tough situation with tight budgets so now is the time to grab the reins and steer the City forward.
He tells CHSJ News politicians are famous for throwing money at problems but not understanding what the problem is.
He says council needs a team that is willing to think critically about why a problem is happening so it can be addressed so it doesn't happen again.
Lanigan advocates "road diets" for Saint John where streets are narrowed by 1 or 2 feet saving on construction costs leading to more green space and less maintainence leaving more money to fix potholes.
