Roads, sidewalks and transportation services. To begin, what do you think are the most important issues facing our city in 2011, страница 106

20.      

infrastructure infrastructure infrastructure. we need affordable and extensive public transportation. Put in highway tolls, as in London, to pay for it. This helps with smog and revenue. I am a car driver and I still support this measure!!

21.      

Quality and cost reduction are not mutually exclusive! I think the productivity of road construction crews is poor, too much standing around. Invest in better systems. Keep

311 - it's great. Realize that we need to have good programs and services for newcomers and immigrants and low-income people - have to invest in that! 

22.      

Look at the bike lanes in Vancouver and Montreal. 

23.      

Above ground street-cars are much cheaper and more convenient than subways and will do a better job of reducing traffic congestion.

24.      

Services will be what defines Toronto. Whether we can elevate to the status of a world class city with other great cities, or the slash and burn, which will hold us back. In an era where fiscal prudence is necessary, it's time for user fees (I'm particularly in favour of congestion charges and tolled roads).

25.      

Please help calm down the rhetoric surrounding bicycles. We need to share the road

26.      

Eliminate snow clearing on sidewalks.  This is a waste of time.  They do more damage to property than snow removal.  

27.      

Road tolls.  Especially for people who live outside of the city but who work in the city and use our services and utilities for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.  These people should be contributing to our city.

28.      

Consolidate services to save costs. I.e. when running a new watermain, why not repair the road surface at the same time to save digging it up twice?

29.      

Consider taxing for vehicle registration; road tolls; etc. Infrastructure is very important and should not be forgotten. So is economic development. 

30.      

On street parking should be numbered so that people with street parking permits who have no other place to park will have a guaranteed spot near their house.  At the moment, residences with multiple vehicles and on premises parking are parking on the street, using up the few spots available for houses without any other option.

Yes. One item has been mentioned that could be cancelled and save the city 3.7 million each winter-the cleaning out the snow  from the driveways after the plow has plowed the road. In the newspaper it would mentioned that after the plow has finished another snow machine comes along and plows out the driveways. Where in the city is this done. Are not must plowers equipped with an added feature on the opposite end of the plower (at the back side) and cleans out the driveways. In my area the plowers are and have been for many years.  / If you take this service away it could cause problems for people to go walking in the winter. In Scarborough on the side streets we have two conditions,- side streets with sidewalks on one side of the street only and the other condition on the side streets no sidewalks. This is the case in many areas of Scarborough. In winter when walking outside in these areas, cars come by and in many cases the walkers must move into the driveway areas that have been cleared so not to get hit buy the cars. Don't forge that snow is piled up along the sides of roads.
