My list:
1. Dump the OMB
2. Revise the fire code to reduce the width of streets and allow the construction of laneway housing
3. Mandate LEED silver on all new buildings
4. Institute electronic tolls on the Gardiner, DVP and Allen Rd
5. Build the Eglinton LRT as planned
6. Finish the Sheppard subway from STC to Downsview
7. Electrify the Lakeshore GO as far as Niagara Falls and add another electrified high capacity line to Kitchener via Pearson-Brampton-Guelph
8. Kill the required parking necessities for condo units, allowing developers to build multi-unit housing with no resident parking
9. Remove on-street parking from one side of select streets to allow for large, European style two-way bike lanes with their own signals
10. Expand green bin program to apartments
11. Slap a carbon tax on vehicle purchases
This is a fantastic list. I don't agree with all of it, but I think the broad scope of ideas is great.
1. This is the one I disagree with the most. Having sat through many, many council meetings, at numerous municipalaities, as well as numerous OMB hearings, I can tell you one thing with absolute certainty: there is far more thoughtful consideration of planning merits, not to mention Official Plan and provincial policies, at the OMB level than at Council meetings. The OMB itself could stand to be improved, even replaced by something different, but you can't just abolish it. It would be disastrous to leave the final decisions in the hands local politicians. Good planning, sadly, is rarely the same thing as good politics.
I agree with all the others, although #4 comes with a caveat. I think we should be looking at tolls, but only in conjunction with a wider application of tolls throughout the GTA. I don't think we should be doing anything that would further discourage downtown office development (such as implementing tolls only on routes downtown), and we need to start using tolls as a real incentives that will encourage municipalities to expand, and residents/workers to use, transit in the 905 and outer 416.
The only things I would add to your list is: start making significant new investments in the urban forest, including incentives for homeowners who plant (or agree to have planted) trees on their properties.
