Roads, sidewalks and transportation services. To begin, what do you think are the most important issues facing our city in 2011, страница 59

Roads, sidewalks & traffic - Other Important Issues

476.     

bike lanes; housing; daycare, / air quality; recycling; supporting the development of renewable energy technologies

477.     

Toronto should be a world leader in environmental sustainability and it is not.  We have a limited mindset with issues such as  traffic congestion, energy usage and exceptional garbage pick up.  We should be aggressively exploring alternatives like bike lanes, LRTs, cleaner energy and recycling - as other major world cities are - rather than trying to make more room for cars and privatizing garbage collection.  These are short term solutions that do not address the larger issues of limited resources and global warming that are becoming increasingly more complex and costly to ignore. /  / 

478.     

improve conditions for cyclists. I commute by bicycle and need more bike lanes.

479.     

waste reduction, consumption taxes (including road tolls, packaging charges), the declining quality and quantity of natural environment, the preservation of neighbourhood character

480.     

The condition of roads and bike lanes is appalling. The lack of overall vision for this city is depressing. What kind of city do we want to live in? What kind of city do tourists want to visit? The permanence and positive affect of beauty will far outlive cost-costing utility. Leadership is not about simply obeying the loudest voices--it is about having the vision to guide the chorus to its own truest voice.

481.     

Bicycle infrastructure -- such as safe bike lanes. 

482.     

The City of Toronto should heavily prioritize sustainable transportation from a comparative perspective. The trend towards adding bike lanes and using streetcars is a policy trend that should be given due consideration. 

483.     

Keeping panhandlers off the streets.    Most of them are not "vulnerable".   Also, divesting itself of "money pits" such as THC buildings.    Employing security type personnel instead of expensive police officers for city construction/road projects.

484.     

Sustainable and environmentally-friendly growth, such as: green roofs, bike lanes, effective urban planning and European-like building practices.

485.     

congestion, high-density planning, decrease car-dependent infrastructure, increase green public spaces

486.     

Bike Lanes, Developing Toronto's waterfront, Animal Services, City Grants for going Green in your home, property taxes, affordable childcare.

487.     

More affordable mobile housing, Enhanced Social services, More youth employment and internship opportunities, Road maintenance,  Very poor air quality as a public health issue. 

488.     

First, putting Culture and Sport on the same line is unwise and highly manipulative.  The main city-wide issue to address is the appalling bureaucracy that has calcified city planning, traffic and every other major urban function.  And provincial controls such as the OMB interfering in the city's decision-making while providing insufficient support for issues like transportation.

EQUAL TREATMENT FOR THE SUBURBS THROUGH A MORE BALANCED DISTRIBUTION

THAT FAVOURS DOWNTOWN.I LIVE IN WARD 25 WHICH PROBABLY HAS THE

HIGHEST TAX RATE AND A DEPLORABLE RECORD BY THE CITY IN MEETING OUR

NEEDS. there ARE PROBABLY MORE POTHOLES PER SQ FT WHERE I LIVE WHICH I'M

SURE THE DOWNTOWN STREET PEOPLE I SUPPORT WOULD FIND UNACCEPTABLE

490.     

LRT system to take cars off the road.  Too many large vehicles with 1 passenger.

491.     

health of the tree canopy; gridlock

492.     

bumpy and broken roads, narrow main roads, lack of sufficient recreation facilities for low-income groups i.e. swimming pools, basket ball courts etc for kids, insufficient walk-in and emergency health care supports

493.     

When shutting down main arteries (Gardiner & DVP) in the city for events such as the Ride for Heart in early June.  Shut them down a day earlier and use that time to perform regular maintenance and instead of charging closure fees, trade the shut down for a sponsorship placement.  This benefits the city by saving on closures, bringing awareness to large events and benefits charitable associations by reducing their operating costs.

494.     

Reducing car use and sharing the road safely with all form of transportation.

495.     

Zone quiet residential streets for 24 hour duration street parking so residents can't  persecute each other with frivolous calls to police to enforce "park longer than 3 hour by-law" / Eliminate nuisance cat licences. This is harassment of cat owners. / Eliminate nuisance retail bag fee. / Minimize government interference in the day to day lives of the citizenry.

496.     

Get the traffic moving

497.     

Affordable housing, transportation, traffic reduction, the arts (very different from sports), - preferably de-amalgamation

498.     

Toronto needs more continuous bike lanes, on King or Queen street, and also northsouth.
