Roads, sidewalks and transportation services. To begin, what do you think are the most important issues facing our city in 2011, страница 115

126.  

Road tolls.  Get rid of the cat licensing fees.

127.  

For SNOW CLEARING services.  I strongly support the clearing driveway entrances (windrow) but NOT the clearing of sidewalks. The sidewalk ploughs do damage to the lawns and almost always come by after most responsible people have cleared their sidewalks, thereby providing little value. Besides, this could give the local kids some part-time jobs for the winter! /  / For Community ICE RINKS/ARENAS, the City should fund more Youth programs such as 'learn to skate' or 'hockey/shinny'.  Adult program user-fees could help build up the Youth services.

128.  

Increase Public Involvement.   Volunteers can help reduce costs; introduce new ideas; build enthusiasm for city / Hire students to manage traffic around construction sites, rather than pay police at very high wages / 

129.  

Please bear in mind that many city dwellers do not own their own vehicles, and as such, more public ground transportation and bike lanes would be of great benefit to the city, and present a viable alternative to some drivers, which would also help ease the immense traffic congestion throughout the city.  Also, please do not discount the importance of supporting arts and culture in any city, and particularly this one.  

130.  

Improve air and water quality. More bike lanes 

131.  

Don't put the zoo and the Island Ferry in the same box.  This survey does that.  Sell the Zoo.  Keep the Island Ferry a city run service.       Sell off the Parking Authority. /  /

My husband recently took it upon himself to fix a broken gate on a nearby school playground. The gate had been broken for more than a year. A month after he fixed it, the TDSB maintenance dept. finally sent someone - to remove the bolt my husband installed! The gate is now broken again! They sent a guy to REMOVE a repair, but he did not then REPAIR the gate. 

133.  

Willing to pay more for services ,but want some accountability . Tired of seeing the same roads get torn up by different agencies year after year. Is there really no way they can work together? Tired of developers designing our downtown...they need to fund more greenspace/community events if they are going to keep putting up ugly glass slabs. Affordable housing should be a stopgap and not a lifestyle choice (except for those in dire circumstances for physical reasons). 

134.  

better roads, no tolls, a subway to the airport, more control over the police department and its budget

135.  

Instead of looking at present costs they should look at the costs that would be saved for the future generations and the quality of life the future generations will have.

e.g.. by building an underground subway system the future generations will benefit tremendously. Look at the underground system (as it is called in London, England). This saves tremendous amount of time for commuters. The above ground system in the long run will become more costly and will also restrict in widening roads. The population of Toronto is increasing, yet the roads are not increasing in proportion to the increase in traffic. The main reason why there are so much cars on the road during rush hour is because our public transport system is extremely poor.
