Andy Z. Wang

Independent for Richmond Council
Lead the Change, Build the Future

Traffic and Congestion

Improve Traffic and Reduce Congestion

Upgrade road links between Richmond and Vancouver, advance more efficient public transit, optimize roadway design, and deploy smart traffic systems to deliver smoother commutes for all residents.

Public Safety and Theft

Fight Theft and Strengthen Safety for Communities and Commercial Properties

Boost community patrols, expand security camera coverage, support neighbourhood watch initiatives, and collaborate with local police to set up a rapid response system, helping residents and business owners feel safer.

Advocate for a Richmond Police Force to Combat Crime and Protect

Our Future Push for the creation of a Richmond Police Force dedicated to crime reduction and community safety. We will start with a feasibility study to evaluate budget and staffing needs, ensuring police services effectively meet local community requirements. I believe this will be a vital step to safeguard our community’s future.

Healthcare

Create Incentives to Recruit Family Doctors to Richmond

Develop recruitment incentives for family physicians, including financial support and rent subsidies, alongside streamlined practice setup. These measures will make it easier for doctors to set up clinics and deliver accessible, high-quality healthcare to our community.

Supervised-Consumption Sites and Drug-Use

Take Strong Action on Drugs, Oppose Supervised Injection Sites, and Deliver a Drug‑Free Environment for Our Youth

Call for tougher enforcement against drug-related crime, and oppose the establishment of supervised injection sites in our community. We will strengthen enforcement while partnering with schools and community groups on drug prevention and education. This helps keep our children away from drugs, allowing them to grow up in a safe, healthy environment free from worry.

Economic Growth and Tourism

Revitalize the Economy and Position Richmond as North America’s Food Capital and Garden City

Drive economic revitalization in Richmond to build it into North America’s Food Capital and a thriving garden city. Strongly support our diverse local culinary sector and innovation, attract international visitors, expand green spaces, and develop agritourism. Together, we can turn Richmond into a beautiful garden city that people from all over the world want to visit and enjoy.
