Roads, sidewalks and transportation services. To begin, what do you think are the most important issues facing our city in 2011, страница 112

90.      

Libraries should be open all weekend long, when families actually need them to be open. Cars should be paying to use the roads, not just the highways. No, it's not a "war on cars", it's the reality that our congestion is out of control, and we need to reduce the number of cars on the road. Be friendly to pedestrians, make their lives better!

91.      

Money will not resolve the crises we face people will and the city can be the builder of this or continue to be the road block with out vision. The City Hall I want to support is taking a leadership role in building our future not asking closed question to make change but truly engaging people as leader to bring forth new idea and take part in the care of their city. I believe a co-op model is a process to reduces cost and build pride of all citizens. You will see reduced crime and increased prosperity across the city.

92.      

more user fees even toll roads

93.      

Bike lanes

94.      

Consider sustainability, from an environmental, social and economic perspective in making all decisions. Look down the road, not just AT the road. 

95.      

road tolls for people living outside the city and commuting here to work

96.      

Make sure those who are rich pay for those who are poor and fixing the cities roads, sidewalks, etc.

97.      

Do we have a policy/plan formalized for connected bike lanes throughout the city? We should. /  / So much zigging and zagging. / I really don't think the changes to the Queens Quay roadway will help- I think they will stop traffic in the summer. 

98.      

condominiums require less time to service i.e. garbage - taxes should reflect this.  Condos are replacing blocks of buildings and parking lots to become neighbourhoods - this should be reflected in noise and traffic planning.

99.      

not spend so much on consultants / not pay police $65 per hour for babysitting a hole in the road

100.  

Tolls for people coming into the city a good idea.

101.  

City should re-negotiate with the province. Mike Harris messed thing us, putting us on the road we now travel. Fix what Harris broke, and a lot of this becomes moot. AND we probably would have a different mayor.... Mr. Ford is a mayor for the suburbs.

102.  

Government should be judged first on the way it treats the most vulnerable members of society and only after that on the quality of its roads.  

103.  

Please do not go on cutting services or contracting them out! This only takes the city into a downward spiral. Take a good look at what happened to cities like Baltimore, Cleveland, Buenos Aires and New Haven when they went down that road. It would be worth the investment for city councillors to tour cities in Europe and America to see how they have enhanced life for citizens: Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, Milan, Portland, Ore. and San Francisco are great examples. Who knows, they might learn something about big city living.
