A seafood salesman who lured 147 votes in last September’s Port Moody council byelection is casting his net again for a seat on city council.

Richard Biedka said he wants to keep annual tax increases in Port Moody to no more than the rate of inflation, and ensure new developments don’t detract from the city’s livability. He said he’s also in favour of retaining the David Avenue connector in the city’s official community plan but any realization of that road through Bert Flinn Park would have to have minimal impact on the park.

Biedka has lived in Port Moody for more than 25 years. He finished sixth of eight candidates in the byelection to fill the seat on council that had been vacated by Rick Glumac after he was elected to the provincial Legislature as the MLA for Coquitlam-Port Moody.
