Roads, sidewalks & traffic - Financial Advice

cancellation is dependant on a replacement service being found in short order.  /  / Advertisement has become the go-to "alternative" revenue stream. It's well and good, but try to keep it classy.  /  / The city owns a fair bit of property and buildings. Investigate putting solar fuel cells on the roofs of those buildings and to power more of the city's traffic signals.  /  / A more controversial idea would be to buy malls, plazas and other purely commercial / retail space and have the city be the landlord. This would effectively increase commercial property tax without costing the business owner any more money. It would also allow for an easier method of inspecting and providing quality experiences for the business owners, residents and visitors to

Toronto.

1. Congestion (road) charges, 2. restore vehicle tax 3. Avoid high cost & maintenance subways and build surface lrt, 4. Optimize senior govt. funding by being more cooperative & work with other cities 5. Stop providing free parking for municipal employees (City Hall, police, schools..) & turning large school sites into sprawling one-story police stations.

No, to be honest;  I am not up on a lot of the city matters.  I live in an apt. building and as I mentioned am on ODSP.  My rent is increasing yearly and I believe I will eventually have to move from where I am living because it is getting too expensive.  I presently pay 862.90 for a one bedroom and next month it will increase to 868.90.  The building was just sold and they are coming in repair plumbing AND change fixtures in each apt.  I am very nervous that a lot of the people who live here now, but be forced out due to rent increase.  This city seems to be in such dis-repair(the roads are appalling).   One more comment I'd like to make regarding my issue around the off leash dogs.  People complain about animals being "dirty" (I always pick up after my dogs), but the amount of HUMAN litter is horrible.  I go down to Ashbridges Bay(which is breath taking) and see the amount of garbage that people leave is so disappointing.  We as humans don't appreciate our beautiful green space.  Thanks for the opportunity to "VENT".

Compared to other cities in the GTA, our tax rate is lower. Property tax increases are inevitable. As long as the tax payer can see his/her's monies being used, for example...road maintenance, then that would go along way. Trim the Police services budget, place a freeze on new hires with in the city, and that should help ease the burden. Privatizing anything that moves, will come back to haunt us down the road.

Upload as many as possible onto the province - the city cannot afford to pay for all of these services, especially those that have been downloaded by the provincial government in the past. /  / The city should demand more provincial and federal government contribution.  The federal government should pay for subways in Toronto as it has in Calgary and the Greater Vancouver Area. /  / The city should not charge road tolls to Toronto residents.  If road tolls are necessary, charge drivers who

do not live in Toronto - we are already paying enough. /  / Have the Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway made into provincial highways or toll nonTorontonians who use them road tolls.
