Page 1 of 135 Share your priorities for Greater Sudbury : Survey Report for 16 January 2018 to 12 March 2019 Q2 Other (please specify): asdfasfd i would iove to see more more done in terms of recreation in Sudbury. We have a great base but we can build on it. Example: opening of coffee shops/ bistros on the bell park boardwalk. Fix the roads Mental health and addictions -Safe injection site -Cleaning our streets, parks, and public places of needles and other drug paraphernalia. -More affordable living costs. Rent far exceeds paychecks. -We need BETTER grade asphalt so that the roads aren't Constantly in need of repair. A job done right the first time is a job that saves money down the line. The city should concentrate on cutting our taxes! START CUTTING WAGES OF TOP EARNERS! Whatever policy and measure that can allow Sudbury to fall in line with the recommendations of the IPCC-United Nations Report for mitigation and adaptation. Fix what we now have and concentrate on development, especially housing that is centered around service areas now existing in area downtowns. Arenas, arenas, affordable rec centres and arenas. So sad when we visit other communities and see all they have to offer. Sudbury has to don better. It's embarrassing. The city needs to better control the use of salt on the roadways, find an alternative! Stop cars and trucks from traveling on our lake ice in the winter. Ramsey Lake is the drinking water for thousands of residents and we continue to pollute the water with road salt, oil and dirt from cars and trucks. Develop a septic system maintenance program for those residents with sewer service. My particular concern is drinking water quality. Presently those citizens drinking water from Ramsey Lake are consuming sodium at three times the Provincial level. Development continues in its watershed meaning more roads and more road salt. I pay a lot of money for water in this city and yet get lower quality. The only solution Is a new drinking water source that allows us to meet Ontario drinking water standards. FIX THE ROADS & SIDEWALKS & PROPER SNOW REMOVAL. TO HELL Page 2 of 135 Share your priorities for Greater Sudbury : Survey Report for 16 January 2018 to 12 March 2019 WKED. Expand the airport. If the airport could accommodate larger aircraft reliably, more national and international travel could be achieved. This would attract your mobile professionals whether business, scientific, medical or artistic, i want the KED. I've had enought of the drama and want that to start Cleaning up the used needles. Also the bed bug problem Build high density development in the city. The city is too widespread to maintain. Have 6-7 story buildings near the silver hills area that have residential units on top and commercial space and stores below like a lot of big cities do. This means less roads to clean and fix as well as less roads for police to patrol allowing for better regulation and overall better upkeep of the city. It also means that bus routes to these areas will be used by everyone. I understand the city can't build this but rezone the area and add it to the master plan to promote developers to take on these initiatives. Build the Kingsway entertainment districtll Finnish the big projects, stop adding more until we have completed what has been started. ROADS are a mess , no more patching, time to dig them up and do the job right. Build the ked and stop raising my taxes oh and dealmalgamate Road maintenance is number one! It’s embarassing that our city has such deplorable roads! Not to mention a major safety hazard. Makes living here truly less enjoyable. Stop awarding contracts to the lowest bidders. The jobs are being done sloppily, and don't last. You end up spending more in fixing it than actually doing the job right the first time. Land use planning should not need to be a 'category' - it is part of the overall plan, and yet it is plainly obvious that this City has always avoided making any long term plans, instead just reacting to squeaky wheels! Same with sustainability and environmental plans - why does it even need to be mentioned? It is just the way you should be doing everything that is planned and managed. I would actually consider this to be #1, as the way to approach all of the other topics. These 'topics' seem to mirror actual departments within the City's staffing structure - each with their own agendas and budgets, that put blinders on and have no idea what the other limbs are doing. THIS HAS TO CHANGE!! SUDBURY NEEDS TO GET WITH THE NEW WORLD!! or It will just turn into a dusty old ghost town full of old people with old ways of thinking, and a complete turnoff to young people and those who may invest in the city with new development. Even as a person approaching retirement, I am disgusted to see the archaic, biased, corrupt and closed-minded thinking of this city, because I want to live somewhere that is alive and changing. I Page 3 of 135 Share your priorities for Greater Sudbury : Survey Report for 16 January 2018 to 12 March 2019 also face seeing my daughters leave this hick town for better opportunity and enlightened lifestyles. Cancel KED! accommodations for disabilities and special needs in public infrastructures I cant really rank these 1 fix roads and infrastructure. 2.1 think land use and planning are sooo important but our city and council have messed up so badly and not stuck to thier original plans of previous priorites such as thier comittment to the downtown that I hesitate to choose this as number 2 because I dont want to send the message that I want more of the same bad planning I want better planning, more favorable to residents rather than developers. Road repair is very important. The state of our roads is shameful. In terms of transit and handi-transit, the handi-transit needs the most attention between the two services. It's really difficult for people who rely on the service to get around. My #2 suggestion, after infrastructure, is to focus on cost saving strategies. This is greatly needed at this point in time as the focus has been on spending on large projects. We need to build smarter and make better use of existing assets and existing infrastructure. The city should create an absolute zero public facility build outside of existing infrastructure. We can't afford the footprint we have with the low population growth we have. Better availability and variety of shopping Density of the core. * If Handi-transit was listed separately I would have ranked higher. It needs significant changes prior to further large scale money directed to standard transit system. Fix our roads! How embarrassing that a city this size has these issues. Sidewalks & walkability & Bike Infrastructure. No NEW infrastructure until people can actually get around their community without a vehicle. Governance that can return some semblance of accountability away from Tom Davies square. This survey is ridiculous. All three things are chose are equally and very important. Property taxes. 3.5% is too high Stop the KED. Refurbish the downtown arena Page 4 of 135 Share your priorities for Greater Sudbury : Survey Report for 16 January 2018 to 12 March 2019 Innovation infrastructure. Where is the investment in industriai parks? co- location workspaces? incubators and acceierators for our tech sector? We need to protect our drinking water from increasing salt concentrations by decreasing salt spread by contractors on large surfaces (malls, box stores) I live in Coniston on Vale property. The water/sewer system is barbaric. Even the fire department is worried if there is a fire up on our hill. The pipes are old and much smaller than they should be. I have had water tests done and it usually comes back - no chlorine - or not enough chlorine. We are the^| house on this line. Water should be running continuously - but I'm not paying for it. They have not flushed our system out in a very long time and no one has been by to clear out the hydrant this year..it is buried, i guess we will need to try and clear it ourselves. The roads are terrible as well. The way the curbs are done if you are not very careful you bottom out your vehicles front end when backing out or pulling in. We have cut our water use by more than half - and are still paying pretty well the same amount.? Not happy about this. Build the KED! You have an official plan, follow it! The state of Sudbury Transit and Handi-transit is embarrassing.
