Open Queen's skating oval on New Years Day
What a great way to say that Sudbury is a health-focused city! Twenty or more brave souls put their skates on outside and plowed through snow-covered ice on Jan 1. It could have been a much nicer experience if the field house had been staffed and the ice properly maintained

Incentives - Crumbling Residential Infrastructure
Hi, With GreenOn projects at a halt, what will the municipality be doing to give homeowners incentives related to energy savings? To preserve residential infrastructure, what is the city doing? We have very nice rural areas with new infrastructure projects being built by Dalron and Zulich and a lackluster residential downtown core. I recommend that we are either give short-term property tax breaks (like the successful projects in Hamilton, ON) and or one-time grants to renovate external fascia on homes, fencing, etc... Let's keep our city blossoming! We have pockets of the city with older infrastructure that is not currently getting the attention it needs. We are also very interested in understanding how DIYers can benefit from typical home renovation grants. Currently all grants require certified contractor quotes and requiring completion by a business owner. We need to be empowering home owners to maintain there own homes (which stimulates the economy long-term vs. short term). We would like to see incentive programs changing to empower home owners, not have them at the mercy of local contractors. superstackcity.com

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.

Roof top gardens to feed the homeless fresh fruit and veggies
Build roof top hydroponic gardens on downtown buildings to improve the city landscape, feed the homeless and help improve the overall health of the downtown core. Considering that there are a large number of human services focused on homeless citizens in the downtown area, there is an opportunity to improve the general well being of our fellow citizens. It could also include an element of encouraging homeless people to participate in growing the produce. I would also look at selling any excess fruits and veggies to local restaurants and grocers. It is an opportunity to use social enterprise to empower each other and build a sustainable city. It should be noted that there is energy savings associated with roof top gardens. Simply look at examples in Montreal and Toronto to seer how it becomes a net zero enterprise if well planned.

Landfill hours
Change the landfill hours from Tuesday - Saturday to Wednesday - Sunday. A lot of yard work gets done on the weekends and having both weekend days open means more time to get there and less lineups on Saturdays.
