Daniel Mullen for Mayor
The Charlottetown Blue Book

A plan to arrive at City Hall ready to govern.

The Blue Book is a working governing plan for a better-run, better-built and more liveable Charlottetown: proposed institutions, bylaws, policies, technical standards and measurable commitments — published for residents to examine and improve.

Working draft · public town halls begin September 10
The Right Change. Right Now. Daniel Mullen for Mayor
The institutional spine

Build a city government capable of building the city.

Four major reforms organize the plan. Each has a different job, and the Open Government Framework applies across all of them.

01 · OGF

Open Government Framework

Run City Hall better. Open records, open contracting, micro-tendering, fiscal transparency, better public meetings and government that is accountable by design.

02 · CHA

Charlottetown Housing Authority

Create housing. A Vienna-inspired approach using public land, housing partnerships, cost-oriented rents and reinvestment — targeting work on 250 homes in Year One.

03 · MMA

Municipal Mobility Authority

Integrate movement. Parking, transit, walking, cycling, active transportation, curb management and traffic safety planned as one system, including a target of 800 net new public parking spaces.

04 · MWA

Municipal Water Authority

Manage One Water. Drinking water, source protection, stormwater, surface water and wastewater planned together as one complete urban water cycle.

Measure what we promise. Each major commitment will ultimately carry a baseline, target, deadline, responsible body, funding plan and public progress report.
A living Blue Book

Read it. Challenge it. Improve it.

This is not intended to be a campaign document that disappears after Election Day. The town-hall series will be used to test the proposals publicly and improve them before the final governing edition is released.

1 · DraftPolicies, bylaws, institutional mandates and measurable commitments are developed and published.
2 · Town hallsResidents challenge the proposals, identify missing issues and suggest improvements beginning September 10.
3 · Final Blue BookSubstantive revisions are logged and the final governing edition reflects what was learned publicly.
Coming here

The working Blue Book will be published on this page.

As sections are completed, this page will become the public home for the Blue Book, supporting documents, proposed bylaws and policies, technical action plans, infograms and revision history.
