Roads, sidewalks & traffic - Other Important Issues

100.     

The fact that the Toronto Police Services have been given an 11%increase for their current contract is shameful. The law and order agenda of Rob Ford is not everyone's agenda. To have a police officer make $65 an hour while maintaining potholes at city construction sites needs to be looked at. The fact that the Rob Ford has made a commitment to look at all city services (and , by the way, how much is the review costing?) and yet has been blatant about the increase to the Law and Order agenda is not good optics. / We have people who are homeless, going to food banks and struggling to get by. That should be the priority of the city of toronto.

The City must re-consider the contracting out of City Services.  Many studies have been done already and they have proven that contracting out does NOT save money, environmental issues do not get looked after in the same way (its worse) and we should keep our Public Services and not privatize them.  It will not help our economy to do that.  What happens to our workers who cannot cope with doing other jobs, there are not even jobs for many of them to go to.  City Workers are proud of their City and we should keep them in the Public Service.  Our roads are the biggest example of all.  In the years now that the road work has been contracted out the roads are in really terrible shape.  There are major potholes all over the city, ditches in the roads that are hazardous, collect the rain water and make the side walks impossible for pedestrians to walk on when it is wet because the huge spray, wakes in fact, caused by passing cars drench them.  Our cars too are suffering with major bumps and sticking out grates.  Every street that was worked on last year by these contracted out road crews are looking like they have not had work done on them for 20 years!  We do not want our Garbage, Re-cycling, Green, our Waterworks, and Sewers to go the same way.
