What's your idea?

In a subdivision at least one highway entrance should be cleared of snow even before the storm is over. Use a city truck with blade.

FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE

retrofit abandoned buildings to be Net Zero

Purchase schools that are being closed by local school boards and update them to be net zero buildings and use them to house homeless. Each building can include various programs that can help deal with the wrap around issues that lead to homelessness. I also think that there is an opportunity to start some social enterprises that encourages participation (gardens, general labour, art, selling vegetables, etc..), help build self-sustainable project, build skills and improve the general quality of life.

Dynamic Carbon footprint display on the City website and other City owned electronic hoardings

To dynamically link the City’s Energy conservation efforts, energy consumption and thus the City’s ecological carbon foot print on the Dash board. The Smart Dash Board is deemed as the product of the Smart City efforts by various Silos of the City simply put together for multiple outputs.

Sudbury Webcam

Install a good quality webcam overlooking the city that can be accessed by the public on the City of Sudbury website. Outdoor webcams are very inexpensive and easily installed. (Nest/Lorax etc) It would be very nice to have one for people who don't have a window, or to see the weather when we are out of town or when there are weather alerts. It would also allow attract users from out of town to the city website to see our beautiful city and could increase tourism. Currently, Science North has a very old outdated camera. Perhaps one camera on each corner of the Provincial building downtown to see all angles of the city skyline!
