Roads, sidewalks and transportation services. To begin, what do you think are the most important issues facing our city in 2011, страница 117

we need to put top priority in building and maintaining a top notch transportation system that would get the cars off the roads

The current city council has a very dangerous short term and naive mindset. Toronto is not consistently ranked as one of the world's best cities based on the Rexdaletemplate of urban design. To maintain our position as a global city of choice for businesses and people, Toronto must address the long term problems we are facing - congestion, sprawl, the environment, growing inequality, etc - in an intelligent and rational manner. Our policy options need to be more nuanced than simply cutting property taxes (which are already the lowest in the GTA) and bringing in an NFL team.  /  / We live in a complicated, interconnected world; we need a city council that can keep Toronto on the right path and make the responsible policy decisions necessary to maintain our prosperity and quality of life.

Yeah, why no questions about road tolls? I think we need to seriously start thinking about those.

City Council needs to stop Mayor Ford's small thinking and indefensible support for the car culture.  His subway plan needs to be scrapped in favour of something that helps the whole City rather than feeding more riders onto the already overpopulated Yonge line.  They need to start listening to the experts instead of thinking that they know better than people who dedicate themselves to a specialty.  If the experts say we need road tolls and congestion fees, then Council had better start listening.  Not doing so puts our whole future in jeopardy, not only environmentally speaking, but economically.  The current car culture is not sustainable.  If Mayor Ford has a logical argument as to why this is not the case, I have yet to hear it.  I doubt that it exists.

if the city fosters more bicycle traffic they should fund more police to ticket non helmet wearing riders or our health care budget will climb dramatically to support all the expensive head injuries/

According to the Mustard reports (1999, 2007) on early childhood education, investing in child care is the most cost effective investment a city can make in reducing future costs. They calculate that $1 spent today saves $7 down the road and their numbers are sound.

Increase bike lanes, encourage and improve community participation in crime control, youth sports, social events, etc.

Consider road tolls please

Think things through before acting.. don't get into situations where the costs become prohibitive- such as the waste of money building separated street car line on St Clair OR the widening of sidewalks at Bloor and Bay area... Are the millions of $$$ spent on these and other similar projects necessary? The water line under Ave Rd, I assume is vital.
