Roads, sidewalks & traffic - Other Important Issues

429.     

Infrastructure: roads water and transportation should not be put together.  Public transportation should be on it's own as it can be in conflict of roads. Money for roads takes away f=funds for public transportation.

430.     

no snow clearing on sidewalks of residential streets that do not have bus stops

431.     

Sustainable Improvements to city finances cannot be achieved by spending restraint alone. Higher taxes and/or user fees should be included. This may include charges for library cards (which can be focused on middle/higher income areas, defined by postal code), and a tax on downtown parking (say $!.00 per space per day) and higher service charges for new condo developments.

432.     

bike lanes and transportation other than cars.. a charge for cars in the inner city starting at Lawrence maybe?? 

433.     

I think the City of Toronto should consider way to reduce gridlock on Toronto roads.

434.     

Taxes are relatively low in this city and our services are crumbling.  A tax system that creates additional taxes is needed.  We need to tax/levy fees on people using city services (ex. road tolls) to fund infrastructure and city services.  Another issue is building communities that aren't all condos.  There is too much condo development in the City and too little focus on other forms of housing and mixed use communities.

435.     

Highway Tolls, Encouraging alternate modes of transportation, green roofs, becoming a leader in the area of climate change and new energy. 

436.     

Only fund projects that serve the general public - such as garbage collection, road clearing, libraries. Everything else - daycare, pride parades, G20 summits - should be paid for by user fees or dropped. / Stop allowing construction that does not increase revenues to the city. / BIA's should fund themselves. / Eliminate the Toronto Green

Standard.  / 

437.     

Bike lanes and bike safety, care for drug-addicted, and support for the arts

438.     

assets such as the Rosedale works dept, and many "P" parking garages should be sold for development and the funds used to retire debt. / great improvement to make the streets more world class, such as recent improvements to Bloor/Yorkville area, will serve Toronto's quest to become more world competitive; however, much more needs to be done. One longstanding blight are all the beggars hitting on pedestrians, many of them guests of our city. What a terrible impression it leaves. / And a balanced transportation mix is critical for success, and that means improvement of all modes, and that included the automobile. The travesty of St Clair Ave should never be repeated. 

439.     

childcare and children's programs / more accessible recycling programs (i.e. so that people do not have to drive to depot to dispose of recyclables that are not picked-up through regular program) / there is too many cars, too much traffic and no enforcement on no idling by-law. People should be prevented from driving in heavily traffic areas on certain times/days. /
