Roads, sidewalks and transportation services. To begin, what do you think are the most important issues facing our city in 2011, страница 105

11.      

Let apartment and condos have the chance to have a green bin.    No more St. Clair Avenue type dedicated street car lines that take away two lanes of vehicle traffic and close down stores during construction.  NO MORE BICYCLE LANES , ESPECIALLY NOT ON DANFORTH ROAD AND BLOOR STREET SINCE THERE ARE NO BICYCLES ON

THOESE ROADS AND TAKE AWAY BICYCLE LANES ON ROADS THAT ARE CAUSING

GRIDLOCK SUCH AS DUPONT STREET.  AND TAKE AWAY THE GARDEN IN TH MIDDLE OF MOORE AVENUE AND DON'T PUT ANY MORE GARDENS DOWN THE MIDDLE OF A ROAD.  ROADS WERE NOT MADE FOR GARDENS.

12.      

Fund the needs not the wants. We need water, roads, and sewers... We do not need the same old programmes that have failed. Or the frills which yes I consider the recreation programmes while wonderful frills. 

13.      

The city should not build anything new until they repair what the city has now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

14.      

Reduce taxes. Remove the municipal land transfer tax. Privatize the DVP and major highways into toll roads.

15.      

The public library system is extremely important and the fact that this city's system is one of the most heavily utilized in north america speaks to the necessity of this service.  Why do you pay to plow the sidewalks in front of privately owned houses? This should be the responsibility of the homeowner and they should be fined if it is not cleared within 12 hours of the snowfall.  This would save the city money and potentially bring in some money.  Seniors should be exempted and should have a service available to assist them with sidewalk clearing.

Keep city services public. Why do the Ford brothers want to privatize garbage to save 8 mill when they don't want to control police spending at all and allow paid duty whatever it is. A police officer watches over the construction near my house. He drinks coffee, he smiles. Doesn't even have to direct traffic. 11% over 4 years. are they going to increase services, like my library or outdoor rink opening ours by 11% over 4 years. Let alone the benefit increases. Most police officers don't live in or pay taxes to Toronto.

a community should work together to fund programs / or outreach to corporations / not constantly rely on taxpayers for free programs not available  / to "all " the people / The workers that come everyday from outside the  / city to work  should have to contribute something to our roads and services / as they are not taxed or charged for them at all / on a municipal level

18.      

there should be a road tax ( Hwy 401 ) to be split with the province and the city for trucks only. This tax would apply to drive  within the city of Toronto boarders. Trucks do tremendous damage to the Highways, and the cost should be 25C each way. /

From what I have seen even at this low price the city would make millions a year.

19.      

More creativity. Engage private organisations to work with the city, think before contracting out. Because many of us will be watching and asking down the road, "was this worth contracting out? Did it reduce service or cost more?"
