Churches and other religious buildings/holdings should not be exempt from property taxes and other things like that.  / The vehicle tax should be re-instated.  / Road tolls / LEAVE the 5cent bag fee  / Don't increase spending on un-necessary services like 31-1

There needs to be a much better communication between departments. Also, city services should be available over the course of a 12 hour day in areas where public must come in for service...i.e. parking pass.  I believe that there is a fair bit of waste in the city services with duplication and unions that regularly do not work to capacity. Road repairs are a good example of that.  Our street has had sewer work, water work, pot hole repair with 6 or 7 pot hole repairs over 4 months.  The road is a mess and they will not fill the extra holes that are there if there is only on eon their list.

stop spending $ on traffic calming measures / have an in depth financial review of police budget and how resources are allocated between front line and management / eliminated mounted police / stop funding discretionary programmes such as art, community and cultural groups / province should pay for and administer all court, welfare, homeless, low cost housing and care for aged programmes

252.  

Turn DVP and Allen Expressway into toll roads. License bicycles. 

253.  

As with some provincial drug plans work with other neighbouring cities to ask for out sourced bids and use Toronto's size to get better scale from providers.  Road Tolls - work with province to fund a pilot program for next couple of years to look at issues and technology. /  / Arena Boards governance model is broken and needs to be eliminated or removed and have City take over responsibilities and save the costs and salaries that are already being done by City staff

The City has to find ways to increase public transportation by increasing the quality of the service at lower cost by having a congestion tax (like in London, England) or other fees for car users in the city. A bicycle network with proper bike lanes (like in Montreal) is also essential to a city of this size.
