Roads, sidewalks & traffic - Financial Advice

291.  

Road tolls or fees for people living outside of toronto who choose to commute by car on a daily basis into Toronto and increased taxes on the parking for these vehicles. Increased business property taxes. Higher fees for businesses that do not recycle properly.

292.  

Use tolls for those who prefer to live outside the city limits and travel downtown to work.  This cost should be part of their choice for the good life.

293.  

I think road tolls would be a good idea to raise money while reducing road congestion.

294.  

Use all revenue streams, including road tolls.

295.  

Look at other options e.g. road tolls and other approaches that have been used successfully in other cities. 

296.  

road tolls / sales tax / vehicle registration tax / land transfer tax

297.  

Do away with services that are rarely used and reduce drastically other useless services.  Contract out  garbage removal, snow removal (if not already done).  Give all services that are at presented unionized to outside contractors.  That will safe enough money and you will not have to increase property taxes or user services.  Reduce employees in city offices.  Most of them spend 2 hours a day at coffee shops on taxpayer money. 

298.  

Traffic Courts - City loses thousands of dollars per day in automatically reducing fines to "minimum" amounts.  I saw this first hand.  The "trial" is a farce - everyone was either given minimum fines or had the charges dropped all together.  People were encouraged to plead guilty to a lesser charge and not say anything.  Do it right, collect the money.  hundreds of thousand can be collected.  It would discourage people to go to court because they "know" of the automatic reduction in fine policy.

299.  

We need to find redundancies and savings first.  Then, if necessary, property taxes and user fees should be increased.  I do not agree with road tolls at all.  

300.  

When police officers give out tickets- the money that people pay to the government should have options into where we can distribute our towards. example if someone gets a ticket for $20.00 and that person wants to pay it there should be an option of where the person money should go such as social service, road work, etc- so we know that our money is going towards something.

ROAD Tolls!!!ROAD Tolls!!!! More developer fees. Property transfer tax (The Toronto house market is hot because Toronto in an AWESOME city. If we make it more AWESOME then more people will want to live here. Let`s make it more awesome!) Better enforcement of in-neighbourhood parking regulations.

302.  

alternative taxation tools  / advocate for fair share of provincial and federal contributions to City / create new revenue streams  such as hotel tax, road tolls, Billboard tax and others / utilize City owned assets 

303.  

The City should also pursue funding from other levels of government.  The City should not have gotten rid of the Vehicle Registration tax.  It should also maintain assets, rather than selling them off, and especially buildings and properties.  Some of the questions in this survey were misleading. How do you rank things that are so
