Is there any major construction by the city that was not dysfunctional, having one or more lawsuits and severely over budget?

Anyone out there get a 6.7% wage increase this year to keep up with the insane tax increases every year? Yeah, I didn't either.

Sorry, don't be putting your job 'on hold' as a backup in case you don't win an election - quit your job. How is this even allowed? We need councilors present to deal with the city issues, not distracted by other things.

He does realize that. He just doesn't care and is riding the gravy train as long as he can.

Doug Ford is busy directing more money to his developer and police buddies.

Great, just when there's been so many cyclists injured from distracted drivers not paying attention, or driving drunk in this city this year.

He could start by voting down the proposed police budget increase on the police services board, and also canceling the unnecessary Operations center.

Would be much better to address root causes of accidents such as poor driving, blatant breaking laws by running reds, pedestrians not paying attention, inattentive driving and poor road design then just giving up, assuming everyone's going to just get in accidents and minimizing damage by continually lowering the speed limits and assuming everyone will obey them.

I'm all for greenery but this is ridiculous overreach. Arborists are very expensive enough as it is, now adding permits and lpaying for replanting trees on top of that? Gimme a break.

City should just sell it - it's just a money pit and not exactly stunning example of architecture or historical importance for that matter.

As usual the city is exempt from their own bylaws, it's for other people.

All the university wants is the money... beyond that it's obvious they don't care and have no planning.

I see what they did here. Every year past they start with very high budget then end at a high budget. This year they start with a reasonable budget and end at a high budget to make them look like they are trying to be reaonable but they still aren't.Every year the taxes take more and more percentage of my take home pay.

My yearly raise won't be anything close to 6%.

The city and police should have been tightening their budgets long ago.

The city street lights are some of the worst offenders for light pollution with no or little shades to direct the light only to the roads.

I'm convinced the traffic department is just out to frustrate people at this point with hundreds of speed bumps, neverending speed reductions, no traffic light syncing, random traffic crossing signals of all types and horrible traffic light timings, not to mention poorly planned consruction traffic management.

Some arbitrary number doesn't really mean anything anyways.
