Roads, sidewalks & traffic - Other Important Issues

214.     

Traffic, parking, cleanliness, adequate snow removal and park maintenance, 

215.     

I feel that there should be more focus on creating a more bikeable city.  bike lanes and barriers between bike lanes are important to encourage cycling and to keep cyclists safe.  I also feel that public transportation needs to be support, we should ban large vehicles like hummers and SUVs in areas in the city as well as trucks.  The city should also help t support locally grown food such as community garden and roof top gardening and gardening on balconies and terraces.  Incentives should be given to businesses that are growing food in city spaces.

216.     

Allow food truck legislation.  / Pan-handlers need much tougher sentences. / City needs to be more accountable with their workers. Seeing 5 guys around a water hole all looking at each other is ridiculous. No need for that many people. / Street-washer that comes by doesn't even clean the street and also only does one side of the road. How much are we paying for this???

217.     

road tolls. tree care. garbage and litter pickup on actual streets.

218.     

Let us bag our own leaves and forget about the vacuum trucks that never reach our area / Let us clear our own snow from our sidewalks (which will save our lawns) as we did for years.  Most neighbours help those who need it.

219.     

tax/toll for vehicle commuters to the downtown core / reducing emissions and traffic

220.     

Reduce property taxes. Make city suppliers accountable for their work (guarantee on time on budget in contracts). Private garbage. New subways. Designated Tourist areas fully accessible (including restaurants).  Road, sidewalk maintenance (privatize, accountable if necessary.. Cut city staff. Remove fair pay policy. 

221.     

The City needs to get the Toronto Police Service budget under control. Year after year the policing budget soars unchecked. There is probably much waste here, but for political reasons most politicians will not address this huge item in the city budget. As it is now, it feels like the tail (TPS) wags the dog (the City). We need to work up the courage to audit this service carefully. It is costing too much, and many feel the quality of the service is low. The paid duty officer situation needs to be addressed. There is no reason to have fully trained and armed officers directing traffic around construction sites.

222.     

Traffic gridlock and the effects of smog on the people in the city of Toronto.  Early mortality due to pollution.

223.     

I think we need more bike lanes and safer ways for bikes to share the road with cars. A subway train to the airport would make this city world class. While I don't relish the thought of high taxes, I understand that they are necessary to pay for many of the services that make Toronto great. I think that condos and apartment building should be monitored more closely for their recycling/environmental practices.

224.     

More bike lanes. Make commuters driving into the city pay there fair share for road maintenance and environmental costs effecting those in the downtown. Why do I pay more for licensing and permits when I barely drive. 

225.     

I would like to see dedicated physically separate bike lanes on major downtown streets. Replace on street parking if needed
