You’re not tracking; Downtown is a shithole. If you make people pay to come downtown they will work/play elsewhere, then downtown and TO get less revenue and become a deeper shithole.
Cyclists use roads, cyclists can pay for roads.
City of Toronto is broke
- Thread starter farquhar
- Start date
And pedestrians use sidewalks.
Make them pay too.
How big a traffic jam would this be if it were all single occupancy cars and SUV's?
name one country in the world where cyclists pay for the roads. I'll wait.
Bike lane usage needs to operate with a transponder mounted to the bike just like the 407.
Make them pay for the expensive creation of the bike lanes and the usage completely clogging up the free flow of car traffic....and that congestion of cars creates more pollution so obviously slap a massive carbon tax on the bike lane transponders/usage because we all know the science says paying a tax def fixes the climate.

A very tiny example is the recent signage to announce alcohol allowed in parks. Two people complained they were too big so now they are being scrapped. Thats $20,000 wasted over two idiots.
The point being the casual attitude shown by Shelley Carrol to do this is kind of thing is rife over city hall.
Bikes take way less space, if you replace every bike on the road with another car you're not getting anywhere.
Gonna work so well here in southern Ontario from November to April
Taxing the shit outta the bike lane users is the only way to save Toronto.
Also an immigrant tax.
Other than 2-3 weeks of snow you can bike all year pretty easily.Gonna work so well here in southern Ontario from November to April

I think taxing the shit out of people in the burbs would be way smarter.
Add in tolls on the QEW and 401
OK, that $20,000. You have $1,499,980,000 to go.
This isn't as easy as some of you make it out to be. Major decisions must be made to straighten things out.
Unlike anyone else, Chow is bringing this to the forefront and giving ultimatums.
This is the faults of Federal and Provincial government.
Actually taxing the shit outta all the lefties who voted for Chow seems to be a more logical solution.
hold on
$29.5 billion is a lot of capital needs , what they spending that on ?
The 2023 operating budget is $16.17 billion
the population of the city is 3.25 MM so they are spending $5,000 per Torontonian (every Man, Women, Child) just in operating costs
this is not a revenue problem, it is a spending problem
Taxes on a 1.3 million property in Toronto 3800…. Same thing in peel 6000…. There’s the problem

Also a colour of skin tax. Jesus…Gonna work so well here in southern Ontario from November to April

no…any colour of skin is acceptable but if the libtards are going to allow 1M immigrants into the country per year and they all flock to the 3 major cities and cram 10 people into one house then def impose an extra tax on them for burdening our system.
Compare the population of toronto proper to peel. A lot less people paying property tax so it makes sense.
Chow has been in office barely a month and she is getting blamed for over a decade of mismanagement. 
Not a Chow fan, but I can't argue with that point. Who can? Someone, I'm sure.Chow has been in office barely a month and she is getting blamed for over a decade of mismanagement.
