Roads, sidewalks & traffic - Other Important Issues

462.     

Fix the TCHC. Force the sale of their valuable homes in the downtown core to repair the other multi-unit properties. Finally, have the corporation run efficiently and responsibly.

463.     

Wasting taxpayers money by clearing residential sidewalks in Winter. By the time the sidewalk plow comes through, everyone has already shovelled their sidewalk and the plow just makes a mess and more work for the homeowner.

464.     

Traffic congestion

465.     

Improve public transportation so as to reduce traffic gridlock.  Subways don't help if you have to drive 6 km to get to the nearest station!

466.     

Fixing up roads to make them more bike friendly, and to also hold bicyclist accountable for obeying the rules of the road.  Not selling off TCHC housing when it would be put vulnerable people at risk unnecessarily

467.     

We must address the transportation issue - if not, we are headed for complete gridlock. / Immigration issues and the assimilation of newcomers is also crucial.

468.     

Kingston Road - gateway to Toronto is still unsightly with motels and old car lots - this area could be an extension of the beaches with better retail and condos overlooking the water - I wish the Mayor Ford could help with redevelopment. 

469.     

Bike Lanes.  Planning.  Development.  Lobbyists and governance at City Hall.

470.     

The city is very difficult to navigate once you get outside the core. The amount of traffic makes it very difficult to get to work in the morning and there is very little parking. I work full time and find it easier to get errands done in a different municipality (Vaughn, Richomond Hill) than in Toronto. 

471.     

Making the city safer for bicyclists... an information campaign so that everyone knows the rules of the road for drivers, cyclist and pedestrians.

472.     

We need a real transportation plan that really supports alternatives to automobiles, primarily public transportation and cycling. We need this for environmental reasons and to reduce congestion. With increasing gas prices we also need it because many people don't have cars or can't afford to drive. We need the infrastructure that supports public transportation and cycling. 

473.     

Get rid of the Parking Ticket enforcement Department. They are not part of the Police department, but somebody gave them uniforms and cars painted the same as the Toronto Police. To many Parking Ticket Officers acting like Police (when they are not police) and wasting the city's budget , so they can pretend they are cops!!!!! This will save the city lots of money.

474.     

Garbage collection, closures of roads, etc for festivals and charitable events, funding for arts programs

475.     

I would rather have continued paying the $60 a year on my car than have my services deteriorate. It is also better than road tolls. I think that ending this tax was a greedy and short-sighted campaign ploy that will continue to hurt our city. I am also appalled that we have gone from a surplus situation to a deficit situation so quickly. What I'm saving in "tax breaks" through all of this is pitiful.
