Roads, sidewalks & traffic - Financial Advice

from those who can AFFORD IT.

In order to be properly funded Toronto needs to explore road tolls and property taxes to be able to meet the gigantic hole in the upcoming budget as cuts and privatization will not fill this gap.

Road tolls, congestion charges - I totally support these, and they just make sense. Stop pussying out. We have a major traffic problem.

There should be road tolls for the Gardiner/DVP.

The City can look at partnerships with the private sector/corporations but this will have it's limits. The City should continue to strive to obtain a deal with the Province & Feds on a sustainable funding solutions for all cities (such as the 1% HST or at least gas tax). I would pay the $75 vehicle license fee if it went directly to funding road/repairs. Have user fees but tell us what it is for.  Have the police contract out all of those 'overtime' hours. They do not need to be on construction sites. There are areas such as appearing in court where this should be considered part of the job and not overtime (remember they signed up for this type of employment nobody asked them to). The gravy will be found in Police Services. Do not out source services where it leaves citizens vulnerable (water treatment). Be more strategic and visionary for this city.

Having lived in London, UK I am a major supporter of downtown congestion charges and road tolls.

Roll tolls should be put into place to ensure 905ers pay their fair share to maintain infrastructure that they use but don't contribute to.  Assets should NOT be sold off.  Use the full taxing authority given to the City by the province in the City of Toronto Act, including reinstating the vehicle registration tax.

user fees for everything pay as you play is a good motto, nothing should be free and that means for everyone, e.g. swimming in public pools, ice skating, using recreation fields for soccer, cricket, baseball, as well as bike licences and road tests for cyclists just like auto's and have the police enforce all road laws for cyclists.

378.  

Apply road tolls during Monday to Friday business hours to reduce congestion and collect monies from the majority of 905 citizens.  Obviously not all people work a regular day shift from Monday to Friday, but I don't want to deter people from coming into the city for tourism, sporting events, etc. /  / It is surprising to me the number of Torontonians that have no idea what surrounding municipalities charge their residents for residential taxes.  I think it is up to the city of Toronto to inform the citizens of Toronto about where we stand.  A lot of people think they have higher tax rates than any other city.  Maybe if the public were informed there wouldn't be such a drive to reduce or cut services.

Proper enforcement of driving laws would represent a significant source of revenue. Taxpayers should not have to pay for roads abused by unaccountable criminals.

The city should keep the land transfer tax as it affects speculators, and bring back the
