Roads, sidewalks and transportation services. To begin, what do you think are the most important issues facing our city in 2011, страница 74

Roads, sidewalks & traffic - Financial Advice

to ensure that IF such services fail to meet their mandate (i.e. support the public interest), then their contracts will be voided AND they may be subject to fine and/or compensation of their communities.

If the suburbanites want to live off the City, let them pay for their infrastructure and parking etc.

137.  

Start serious negotiations with Provincial and Federal counterparts to return more of the taxes paid by residents of the city to municipal needs-right now a lot more leaves Toronto than comes back. Tolls on some roads would help too, and maybe charge vehicles for "passing by". 

138.  

User fees for those who can afford them in areas which encourage people to make sound environmental decisions - e.g. parking, garbage collection, pet licensing.

139.  

Toll roads into the city core. It's time. Why should the city of Toronto bear all the cost for building and maintaining roads so people who live in other municipalities can drive to work here?

Congestion charge for all vehicles traveling in downtown, as successfully implemented in London, England

I think a lot of our road construction funding could come from imposing a "commuter

tax"  i.e.: toll booth at the city boarder. This will encourage the use of greener transportation and reduce our emissions. I don't think that it is fair that only

There should be tolls on the highways coming in to downtown.

143.  

Vehicle registration tax would be useful to repair roads and keep streets clean. The money could also be diverted elsewhere if there is a gaping need.

144.  

Introduce a fee for people driving into the city.  Toll roads.

145.  

Tolls on roads, tax all drivers who come in from out of town to work in Toronto's economy. Also more taxes on parking spots. More taxes on Gas for cars to fill up in the city. 

146.  

Less Government. Less Bureaucracy. Increase taxes for developers. Initiate traffic tolls into Toronto, as other big world class cities have; if one watches the bumper to bumper traffic on the DVP, one will notice that on average 98% of the vehicles have one occupant. Thank you for the opportunity to contribute. 

147.  

the city should tax carbon emissions and road use (i.e. license plate tax and gas tax)

148.  

Please take a long, detailed and thorough look through the infamous 'Sunshine List' and cut the salaries of people who are making these obscene amounts for dubious 'service' to the City.   Salaries throughout the public sector are completely out of whack with reality and today's economy.  The simplest way to balance the budget appears to be a real, serious curtailing of the rampant payroll abuses at City Hall and all of the services, from Police to Teachers to Garbage and Parking.

Toll the DVP and Gardiner, sell surplus property
