Roads, sidewalks & traffic - Other Important Issues

127.     

Pollution control / Preserving remaining green spaces / Traffic control, especially in city core / 

128.     

Ridiculous spending. /  / Ignoring for a moment that this was passed without any sort of public consultation (a more recent consultation showed roughly 95% of residents against the action), and also ignoring that this was passed despite Transportation Services recommendation against, what is most outrageous is the cost of implementations: /  / - Installing TWO no-left-turn signs  / - Painting 8 wide lines and

1 narrow line on the road (to fill in the old left turn lane) / - Signal modification (hitting a couple of switches to eliminate the advance green) /  / Total estimated cost: $12,450!!!!!! /  / If the work were performed by a competitive private sector contractor, I expect it shouldn't cost more than $500.  $1000 maximum if somebody's not doing their homework.  Is there anyone at City Hall who can be bothered to stand up and say "wait, this doesn't sound right".  My 8 year old nephew can figure out that the figure is completely off base. /  / I can only think of how often these amounts are disbursed throughout the city for such minor work. / 

129.     

affordable housing / infrastructure in a state of good repair / respect for diversity

130.     

Health promotion - David Miller did miracles for Toronto in promoting healthy lifestyles through creating bike lanes and community engagement. 

131.     

There is far too much short-range policy and planning both for political advantage and because voters tend to focus on problems them have today, not what might be coming down the road in future years.

132.     

the city should look at revitalizing the downtown core, transplanting the clubs into a further out district (distillery) and providing affordable parking...the millions of entertainment dollars spent in Toronto years ago have been slowly moving out to the suburbs. / secondly, Toronto businesses should be given tax breaks/incentives to buy, sell and use other Toronto services..keep the wheel turning internally rather than moving out to suppliers outside the Toronto area 

133.     

Public transportation / Bike Lanes / Street Cleaning

134.     

Continuing to support community based programming such as the Toronto public library and Toronto public health, which reach across the socio economic divisions in our city. / Introducing a safer approach to bike lanes in the city. As a parent who conveys her young children by bicycle to their school every day, I feel good about being "green" but I am always very aware of how vulnerable I and my children are to the cars around us, even though we're riding in a designated bike lane. I would like to see a safer approach to designating bike lanes such as that used in Holland.

135.     

Justice for migrant workers, increasing shelters, women's health and safety, police accountability, and bike lanes.

136.     

sms-parking would be nice / safe bike routes / controlling sprawl on farmland / more dedicated streetcar routes

137.     

More bike lanes

138.     

Waterfront revitalization and bike friendly streets (separate bike lanes with curbs like in Europe)
