Jan Harder was known as the Queen of Barrhaven, having handily won every single municipal election in the community over the past 25 years.
But after Harder decided to hang up her crown, the newly named ward of Barrhaven West was wide open for candidates Jay Chadha, an OC Transpo worker; Sadaf Ebrahim, a self-employed entrepreneur; David Hill, a Department of National Defence adviser; and lawyer Taayo Simmonds.
David Hill won, CBC projects.
Hill's priorities included a better Greenbank Road bridge, Highway 416 access at Barnsdale Road, and building a downtown Barrhaven.
Chadha's priorities included reworking Greenbank Road, a safer rail crossing near Barrhaven United Church, and working on building a downtown Barrhaven.
