21B Be: I'm a Guelph taxpayer and am happy for my tax dollars to go for this. There are many things the tax dollars go toward that I don't use: The Skatepark, many community programs, etc. But I'm happy to see my tax dollars being spent on initiatives I support. I hope you take your opportunity to vote for a car-centred city this Fall, and I will certainly vote for a human-centred city. Let's see which candidates win out.

City offering free two hour parking at the Macdonell St. lot
21Probably cost a lot less than the cost of giving up parking revenue along Wyndham Street for the duration of the construction. But perhaps it will keep Wyndham Street merchants from losing so much revenue they go out of business. That will reduce city income significantly, not to mention the blight of having an empty downtown core.

OPINION: On housing, when opportunity knocks, no one answers
16The problem is capitalism. Affordable housing is low cost housing and that is low profit housing. I have said this before and will say it agin, if we want large volumesaof lowacost housing the goverment needs to build it with the same method that was done after WWii, prefab, premortgaged and on preassigned land.Free-will capitalism will never respond,

One-bedroom asking rents in Guelph drop $133 year-over-year
12It is positive news.Guelph's rising cost of living is a real concern for many residents. For a single renter, monthly expenses average $3,800–$4,000, with rent taking nearly half (~$1,900–$2,145). Seniors and low-income families are struggling to cover essentials like groceries and daily needs—you'd need about $23+/hour just to get by. With housing so tight, we need more homes and rental units on the market across the board to boost supply and drive prices down—yet City Hall is fighting developers on key apartment projects in the downtown core, while others sit dormant and stalled. Let's work together compassionately to cut the red tape, get these builds moving, and create a more affordable future for our community.

12Why have I never seen data that show speeds under 50 km/hr present a danger to the public? None of the proposed measures will stop motorists running red left turn signals and stop signs . How many injuries will result from traffic cushions (obstructions) and barriers? Again no data. Council and many of my fellow Guelphites base their decisions on emotion not logic. The money spent on slowing down traffic would be better spent on improving intersection sight lines, teaching school children bike safety, and training Guelph transit drivers what to do at a stop sign (it’s not a “slow down” sign!)

10Maybe landlords are finally realizing that almost $2000 for a one bedroom is ridiculous. I don't want to be paying someone else's mortgage.

12If a 'speed cushion' causes injury to some people, that is likely because they or their driver is going over the cushion too fast. There is nothing in the rules that says the car cannot crawl over the bump. People in this city drive over the spped limit as a matter of course. They do not actually get to their destination more than a few seconds earlier. I know, as I frequently catch up to the speeder at the next red traffic light. So, avoid injury by going slower.

10There will always be those that choose not to stay in shelters or follow the rules to stay in housing. Taxpayers should not be on the hook for those that choose substance abuse over having a place to stay.

14If it ever gets done. Too many "plans" in Guelph end up being just that. Usually the implementation and maintenance of said plan is poor.
