  3. $1.85 exta for paying online is a cheap move to earn more money.

    $1.85 exta for paying online is a cheap move to earn more money. When the offender is ready to pay the charges, why would you suck last bit from his pocket. This is ridiculous. This is 2012, everything is online and FREE why can this service not be free? Cheap move ever!

  4. Make the City website multi-lingual

    The city needs to support multi-lingual. We have people from various parts of the world come here and it would be nice to be able to read in their native language (for example, Mandarin, Gujarati, Spanish, etc.)

  12. Update the 'Uptown Map'...

    The 'Uptown Map' has the St.Louis Adult Learning Centre mentioned...it has been closed for almost 6 years. Surely the staff at City Hall read the Chronicle, right? Why list it on the map when there is no reason for anyone to go there?

  13. Give newcomers a chance to learn about the by-laws before hitting them with fines.

    I returned from China Canada to live in Waterloo on the 6th of August. A couple of days later my wife and I received parking tickets for leaving our vehicles on the road outside our driveway overnight. We had no idea that such a by-law existed. After visiting the City, I was told that, despite the fact there are no signs on our street, there are signs posted at key entry points to the city. Unfortunately, I entered the city at night after arriving on an overnight flight from China and was not alert enough to notice these signs. Apparently…

  15. Set up computer kiosks at City facilities so people who visit can access the internet

    Have one or two computer terminals set up in city facilities so residents can access the internet and access city info, news and give feedback. Some with customer service surveys would be good.

  16. Cycling clubs

    Not sure why we'd have a category under organizations/clubs specific to cycling. Cycling clubs (which there is 1) would ideally register under sport & Rec clubs. If we single out cycling -then other groups may want a separate heading.

  18. should not duplicate information available elsewhere, e.g. Grand River Transit

    Just point to the original information ( perhaps seamlessly take the user to that website)
