The final results of the “Think Outside the Box†initiative—a month-long chance to vote for the top priority among a list of issues are in. According to the survey Torontonians see many opportunities for civic improvement (pdf), especially in the areas of the environment, transit, roads, architecture and the arts.
The top three categories for improvement were:
Environment (less waste, cleaner water and air etc.) — 25%
Getting Around (transit accessibility, improved roads, bike facilities) — 17%
City Appearance (architecture, street aesthetics) — 16%
The survey was sponsored by the unlikely alliance of Saab Canada and the Toronto Community Foundation – creator of the Toronto’s Vital Signs annual report card.
Ironically no one voted for having a lot more cars in the City.
