A topic that I often think about, and that has been much discussed in this forum, is the possibility of large and very significant improvements in the way our city functions, which can be achieved with little or no capital expenditure.
For instance, I feel that urban life in this city could see a big improvement if the city eased restrictions on, or actually promoted, laneway housing.
Beautification and utilization of the Gardiner's underbelly could also radically change the vast areas around that highway if we got creative with it.
Electrification of GO would involve obvious costs, but could be an enormous boon to the city by transforming the lines radiating from Union into something more similar to subways, in frequency and reliability.
So, I thought I'd start this thread to ask you: If you were mayor, and had to choose one significant city-changing endeavor as your legacy, but were strapped for cash, what would it be? What would be the biggest bang-for-our -buck city-building push?
