Imagine being under the influence of drugs was actually enforced as a crime...

A train up either of those main arterial roads would cause havoc on the road system. Don't think either of those would be a legitimate option.

This is a nice sentiment in theory, and is currently being attempted. The problem is you can't help people who don't want help. It simply comes down to enforcement. As drug users and fare evaders realize they will be ticketed or arrested to a higher probability, less will go on transit...

Crossing a large street that takes maybe 20 seconds is a problem for walkability? Just not buying it.

This hiring should be cancelled and fast. Never mind the ethical and moral perspective, but there is no way that hiring someone such as this as the face of a franchise is good for business (look at Babcock hiring previously, which is 1/100th of this scale). Will be interesting to see if there...

She lives rent free in your head eh?

So they signed a long term lease with Manulife if they saw this coming?

From what I notice, most businesses clean up in front of their businesses in the morning. Then trash pigeons come through the day emptying out entire trash cans, or disposing of their belongings right on the street. After a while, I'm sure some of the people question what's the point of...

Good

It's definitely not easy, and it's not a complete solution, but if you eliminate the element that needs more than housing, then efforts can be more directed towards people who would benefit the most from housing, as well as being the most sustainable and efficient group to help. Would also...

Incarcerate the criminals, institutionalize the mentally ill, then it would be possible to house the remainder. If the former isn't done, you likely can't do the latter.

Potentially more cars in the bike lanes during this period than bikes?

Just a flat out no to subsidies. Increasing ROI of already profitable projects is a waste of taxpayer dollars. Incentivizing marginally feasible projects also seems like bad business. It's great council is saying no to this lobby group.

Hawrelak Park as well as he was removed from office twice.

No need for govt to subsidize private industry here. Would be a gross misuse of taxpayer funds for corporate welfare.

On an absolute basis, near impossible unless deflation occurs. On a basis of growth in costs vs growth in gov't revenues, maybe.

It doesnt appear work was done on the direct fort road lanes over the winter. They must be waiting for spring to continue on the additional lanes. Collector roads and earth moving seemed to happen over winter though.

City should just consider privitizing these jobs to avoid these excessive salaries that unions command. Would be nice to lower costs associated with these services when possible.

I just feel that since you don't disagree with the poster, but find the content irrelevant, using the ignore function would be highly beneficial and a very easy solution.

I'm pretty satisified with the snow clearing. Not much can be done outside major routes until the snow stops, and roads already seem decently plowed by today. I think expecting more would involve a substantial amount to the budget, and would only result in most roads only being cleared...
