Whether the tax increase to fix roads was sufficient or not, I can’t say, because I don’t know exactly how the money was spent. What I can say is that the roads are not fixed! Potholes, cracks, and crumbling shoulders/sidewalks are visible all over the city. We need to look at what other jurisdictions with similar winter conditions (eg: Edmonton, Calgary) do for their roads, what percentage of tax dollars they spend on them, what technologies they’re using. Our roads and sidewalks are unsafe, and result in injury from falls for cyclists, pedestrians, and seniors in scooters. Our roads are too rough, causing damage to vehicle suspensions, and result in tremendous costs to automobile owners in repairs. Our roads need more than just surface repaving or patching. They need to be reconsidered in terms of use, types of traffic, routing, and engineering issues (base and sub-grades).
