Roads, sidewalks & traffic - Financial Advice

again - drains on the health system and a generation of malnourished children.  /  / There are dozens of studies that show of these things, and people like Jane Jacobs who have gone absolutely blue in the face trying to explain it.  /  / Not that anyone is listening now, but I add my voice to hers and others like her. Maybe one day we'll be heard.

We simply need a better transportation system in this city, that's its primary weakness.  More commitments from the federal and provincial governments, especially federal.  Tolls and distance-based pricing for subways needs to be discussed seriously.

193.  

Explore feasibility of  tolls on Don Valley Parkway highway, Gardner Expressway highway using transponder device. /  / Explore implementing a bottled water surcharge.

194.  

City of Toronto Sales Tax / Road Tolls

195.  

City needs to evaluate its infrastructure and who delivers some of these services.  Employment for life need to be re-evaluated.  Police officers directing traffic, funeral, etc, paying for dry cleaning of uniforms.  I know people who "sell" their vouchers - abuse.

196.  

Increase parking fines for over-time parking and blocking fire exits

197.  

road tolls and bring back vehicle registration tax.

198.  

congestion toll for vehicles entering downtown / vehicle registration tax / no costly privatizations

city should curb the funding to police.  off-duty officers cost a lot of money to do other un-police related jobs i.e. keeping an eye on road work etc.  they should be replaced by less expensive security personnel

I think road tolls are a good idea.  Bring back vehicle tax.  Cars are costing our city health, time, money.  Tax their presence in city centre, increase parking fines.

201.  

I would support a small user fee for the 311 service. I would also support re-instating the vehicle registration fee and maintaining the municipal land transfer tax. I would support an increase in parking prices at "Green P" lots. /

Run services efficiently / Invest in infrastructure that attracts business, tourist, and users of services...then gain through taxes / Don't cut easy taxes like the vehicle registration tax - anyone who drives a car can afford the equivalent of a tank of gas year to contribute to the city infrastructure / Residents don't mind paying taxes if their roads are cleared of snow, their garbage collected, their local pools and rinks function, the library  has the books they want, they don't spend hours stuck in traffic, or trying to get on a bus. Citizens are usually OK with taxes as long as they feel they are getting their money's worth. / M

highway tolls on DVP and Gardiner, install geothermal for all city facilities where possible to cut heating and cooling costs

204.  

DVP should become a toll road during weekdays.

205.  

Look at how the services are being provided and see if there are easier/cheaper ways to run things. Get the Province to pay more. Reduce expenditure on Police traffic
