Create software & a dashboard button to provide drivers with a quick & easy pothole tracking device to notify the city of pothole locations

Provide some drivers in the City of Greater Sudbury with dashboard buttons that, when pressed, send a GPS signal to the Pothole Patrol to notify them of where a pothole is. The city relies on citizens to notify them of where potholes are but often drivers forget to call the city when they finally stop their cars and are able to call the city with the information. This time delay leads to potholes sitting unrepaired for longer, more erratic driving and damage to cars. This in-car notification system will notify the city immediately of the locations needing attention and potholes will be repaired faster.

Synchonization of Traffic Signals along Lasalle Boulevard

Synchronizing of the traffic signals along Lasalle Boulevard in Sudbury would optimize the flow of traffic, reduce aggressive driving and effectively reduce the likelihood of red-light running which is a very common occurrence in the city. Optimizing traffic signal timing is a low-cost, high-benefit approach to reducing congestion and maximizes traffic progression, avoids frequent stops with minimal use of braking, reduces idle time at stop lights, reduces fuel consumption and air pollution emission levels, reduces trip time and easy on the nerves. It would also minimize the diversion of traffic to local and residential streets and improves safety and traffic conditions.

Make Sudbury the tree city of Canada. All streets should have trees/bushes, including strip malls and light industrial areas.

Transit safety

A security guard should sit in on the bus routes at night so the drivers can concentrate on driving. To save $$, a student from Cambrian's Law & Security program can put in volunteer hours.

Transit, sidewalks and bike lanes on Brady St.

So many public events take place at the Steelworkers Hall and Lexington Hotel, yet without a car, it is difficult to access these locations. Brady Street between Lorne and Paris (that includes the underpass) needs sidewalks on both sides, bike lanes on both sides and a transit route that stops at both of these venues.
