Roads, sidewalks & traffic - Financial Advice

these people are fishing out small fish that should not be removed for a food source!

increase user costs for public parking spaces.

user fees for drivers  - toll roads, increase parking rates, permit parking,

395.  

I don't know about the funding aspects BUT, Animal Services, (shelters and rescues & inspections) NEEDS to be improved. These beings cannot vote nor campaign for themselves, but also do NOT deserve to be ignored any longer. Another area often overlooked is the quality of "ramps" from sidewalk to road, or the quality of the sidewalks in general for people using wheelchairs, scooters, and canes.

396.  

Reinstate the car tax! Create a downtown car user fee. Increase parking rates. Increasing user fees is a tax on the poor, don't do it - increased taxes should be a mix of commercial and residential. / De-amalgamate.

The vehicle registration tax worked well and was pennies per month. It was a great user fee and the funds raised should have gone directly to road maintenance. Bring back this tax - it is a perfect example of how funding based on a user fee can help the city pay for specific services, and in the end help balance the budget.

Opportunities to "trim the fat" in City spending don't simply lie in potentially reducing services. Look for redundancies. For example, eliminate the bylaw that requires police officers to passively watch over road construction projects, and significant amounts of amount will be saved in these services alone.

THE POLICE BUDGET, AND ROAD REPAIRS, SHOULD BE DRASTICALLY CUT - EXCEPT

FOR BIKE LANES SHOULD BE INCREASED. ROAD TOLLS SHOULD BE INSTALLED. ALL

CAR PARKING RATES SHOULD BE QUADRUPLED AT LEAST. VEHICLE REGISTRATION FEE REINSTATED. POLLUTION TAXES ON FACTORIES. HIGHER PROPERTY TAX RATES FOR MORE VALUABLE PROPERTIES, LOWER RATES FOR LESS VALUABLE ONES.

401.  

Cut the Crap!!!! Fix the broken culture of civil servant apathy and inefficiency. Put managers in place that can change and repair problems. Affirmative action programs are costly, unnecessary and leave us with sub-standard employees. Find innovative solutions to delivery of services. Reward success. Stop Lying to residents while campaigning for office!

402.  

The cancelled vehicle registration tax should be reinstated. Widespread road pricing (congestion charges) should be implemented. A local sales tax should be examined.

403.  

road tolls, vehicle registration tax and other revenue tools, infrastructure costs for road usage by cars and trucks are enormous.

404.  

I support tolls on roads. I think we should have a system to reduce traffic in the down town area, perhaps a user fee. More user fees for excessive garbage especially commercial. Our property taxes are far, far too low

405.  

The city should charge motorists who travel in daily to work from other areas of the province to use our roads.

406.  

Cars should be taxed for being in the city, based on gas consumption of vehicle.  A
