Marty Carr will represent Alta Vista after a wide open race for Ward 18.
Outgoing councillor Jean Cloutier won re-election in 2018 in a tight race, but after two terms decided not to run again.
The candidates who fought for the seat were Carr, a public service executive; Carolyn Kropp, an executive assistant to MPP John Fraser; real-estate advisor Bob Perkins; and Angelo Gino Scaffidi, who is retired from the RCMP.
Carr's priorities included road repairs, up-to-date community facilities, fixing transit routes, improving active transportation connectivity and roads, and boosting tree canopy.
Kropp's priorities included renewing recreational facilities and parks, road renewal, and cycling infrastructure.
Perkins' priorities included road rehabilitation, public safety and improving base services like snow and garbage removal, and policing.
Scaffidi's priorities included making transportation comply with municipal and provincial guidelines to preserve homeowner rights to the peaceful enjoyment of their homes, as well as safe streets and cleanliness.
