21It was always planned to be a school -- a big open green space. Should be a park.

23The state of transit (considering how much money is dumped into it) is horrendous - blame the politicians, and the planners who should not be allowed to take the job unless they have experienced Europe. That’s what transit should look like.

14Running for public office is difficult, time-consuming and often exhausting work but as reward you get the opportunity to find, meet, and have deep discussions with so many people, all of whom are united by a genuine desire to see our city get better. The work is hard but the rewards are many. Best of luck to all the candidates, I look forward to hearing your platforms!

20Maybe more people would use the GO Transit if the service would do simple things like make it easy to go online and see a regular schedule.

17This should be re zoned as a park. Lands disappeared so fast in Guelph. There’s very little green space left.

17Keys to a successful transit service. Frequency, reliability & connectivity. GO & Metrolinx fail on all three.

6The intersection is dangerous. The garbage will become our neighbourhood problem. The increase in car traffic for Metcalfe (school and children) be unsafe. The increase in light and noise pollution will decrease property value for those in the area.Will it decrease my taxes for this inconvenience!!,

12The “cutting” crew (including Dan Gibson) don’t understand the key drivers of tax pressures. Constant downloading, mental health, fossil fuel, and growth infrastructure are the big ticket items. Not libraries on Sundays. We need councillors and a mayor that can work with everyone and get people together on the same page, inside and outside city hall. If we elect new people who can’t work together it will be four lost years of chaos.

OPINION: The big picture as we start the election
15A very interesting article. In particular the point that while the province and the feds have multiple sources of revenue, cities are stuck with one source and that was decided in the 19th century and is unlikely to change. My concern, although it does not affect us directly, is the move by the province to appoint regional chairs rather than allowing them to be elected. These appointed chairs would have the equivalent of “strong mayor” powers which would allow an appointed chair to overrule a decision by an elected regional council. Both concepts are anti-democratic in the extreme. It is supposedly in the name of “getting things done” but given the current provincial track record of poor planning and wasteful spending this is hardly reassuring because that appointed chair will have primary loyalty to the province, not the local citizens.

12Why does the playground equipment need to be replaced? I hope it’s not just because it is on a “schedule”. Seems the city finds more and more ways to spend taxpayers’ money needlessly.

10We cancelled district energy because in a rush to be “first” we built a system that didn’t work. Slow down, let the technology mature, let the economic justification build, and then adopt new applications that make both environmental and economic sense. Little old Guelph isn’t going to save the planet by wasting more taxpayer money.

9Dan Gibson (Ward 1) met and exceeded mine. He was prompt in getting back to me when I needed help. He was also kind and helpful. AND he didn't vote for the ridiculous 33% salary hike or the nearly 12% salary hike that Leanne Caron pushed for and succeeded in getting. I'd be very glad to have him as mayor.

8The current councillors don't seem able to deal with basic municipal problems like excessive litter - a perennial problem in Ward 3 - and harassment by unionized public officials. Let's get a whole new crew!
