Roads, sidewalks & traffic - Other Important Issues

155.     

Supporting HIV education and related health services, such as the Hassle Free Clinic. Keeping the bike lanes on Jarvis Street and expanding them.

156.     

Bike lanes please.  Funding for HIV & AIDS and STI work in Toronto... The rates are increasing at an alarming rate and the stigma surrounding harm reduction is making it worse. Safe injection sites for Toronto now please!

157.     

Repair and replacement of City Infrastructure.

158.     

More bike lanes

159.     

As I mentioned I am interested in getting front yard parking

160.     

Do not close any public libraries.  There are seniors that rely on them and there are children who wait for their caregivers or parents at public libraries, which provide a safe environment for these kids after school.  The homeless also take shelter in the libraries when it is too cold outside or very hot in the summer.  Libraries also offer computer classes, baby time programs and other classes that bring communities together.   Also, although I do not use bike lanes, the ones that have already been installed should remain because tax dollars have already been spent. It would be financially wasteful on the part of the city to take these bike lanes away.

161.     

Sidewalks should be safe for pedestrians, i.e., no bicycles, no ice in winter, no obstacles from shopkeepers, no potholes.

162.     

Having more world class attractions to draw in tourism- increase infrastructure and help bring in money. For example, Vancouver. More bike lanes to promote greener methods of transportation and makes it safer for bikers and drivers downtown. Creating a better connections and pathways to the harbourfront, make it a present place to be and get to, for example, Montreal. Add more colour to the city, so many commercial buildings are gray boxes. Make the city more beautiful, like the King West district. 

163.     

maintain city services such as snow removal, salting - health and safety. Roads and sidewalks need to be clear for people - enforcement of residents clearing sidewalks should be better. Many older people in particular fall each year on ice. Also the city should maintain proper snow removal including the second plow that removes banks of snow left at the end of driveways.

164.     

Public education on sustainable living to build up healthy communities & workforce (e.g. promote "toxics & human health" as mandatory curriculum in public school, expand the scopes on community gardening, tax credits for residential renewable projects, etc) /  / Sustainable urban planning to ease traffic (e.g. continuous bike lane system for the entire GTA & Toronto, encourage individuals/organizations to work close to home by providing tax incentives/credits, etc)  /  / Sustainable health care to eliminate inefficiency & over budgets (e.g. focus on "preventive measures" instead of treating diseases, allow "alternative medicines" to be part of OHIP program, cultivate a culture where seniors are highly active in the communities and are regarded as mentors by the youths. etc)
