smartmoveslondon.com is a joke
The city of London has set up a website called smartmoveslondon.com. The purpose of the website is so Londoners can comment on the direction of transportation in the city. The entire website is filled with spam and is an embarrassment for the city. Either clean it up or close it down please.

We need a big change to the Covent Garden Market
Covent Garden Market is smaller than it was and has lost the diversity and realism the old market had. All the fruit and veg stands are from the same family so there's no choice there. The Western Fair market is so much more vibrant. It's great to have a farmer's market out in the sweating heat and sun a couple of days a week but otherwise it's a yuppie's dream. There is no reason that the Market can't do the job of a grocery store except we need to make some big changes to make ownership more diverse so there…

Look to Cleveland.
The Free Press should be careful when acting smug. The paper asked: "Who wants to be the Cleveland of Canada?" According to Wikipedia, "Cleveland is considered an exemplar for public-private partnerships, downtown revitalization, and urban renaissance. In studies conducted by The Economist in 2005 Cleveland was ranked as one of the most livable cities in the United States, and the city was ranked as the best city for business meetings in the continental U.S." Have you seen Cleveland's market? Or the Tower City Center? Or it's heritage district? Cleveland has serious problems but that does not mean one cannot learn…

Public Naturist/Nudist Beach or Resort Within City Limits
Since London is so culturally diverse, there is one culture that seems to not be talked about very often in the mainstream media, yet there are more and more men, women and young children practising it every day and that is the so-called Naturist and Nudist culture.
Although there are still many people not comfortable with the idea of going naked in public, there is an ever-so-increasing number of Londoners alone that have broken through their fear of their own self image along with the barriers of sexual repression and live as clothes-free as ever! It is these people that…

CLEAN UP GARBAGE!
Once the snow melts we need to get crews in to clean up the garbage that has been hidden under the snow. Westminster ponds is filthy right now. Wellington from Southdale to downtown is disgusting. Downtown London looks as though it was cleaned up quickly, but what about the rest of the "forest city" ???
I would gladly volunteer to help clean this up and I think that others should as well.

traffic
london needs to do something with the traffic lights, maybe synchronize them? that could help people running red lights, help traffic flow, and gas use. Maybe more over/under passes for trains, 20 minutes for a train at 5 pm is terrible.

Just Some thoughts...
London needs some vast improvement; I think we can all agree on this. So these are just some of my thoughts about improving London. Some of these ideas have come from talking to others, reading these threads, and some of my own thinking. So just to state I do not take ownership of any of these ideas...
Develop a free-way. London has some of the worst trafic jams and congestion of any city. Whoever planned out the roadways did a terrible job. A free-way would alow for greater movement, bringing people to other parts of the city they normaly wouldnt…

River Front
London needs to develop its riverfront. It cannot be just parks, bike/walking paths, and playgrounds. It needs restaurants, artisans, a night life. A place where people want to hang out. People of all ages. A place to share ideas and lives. Keep big business away. The more "little" people there are, the better, as these are the people that will truly keep the place vibrant because they will care most about its future.

Cities are rarely, if ever, boring
I believe if anyone labels an entire urban area, a place with a population greater than 350,000, dull and boring, the person is revealing themselves as dull and boring.

Get a REAL newspaper
How about something that reports the REAL news and not just what's decided by the owners and politicians. Pick up a Scene magazine or even a METRO to see how it's done. Not by having a skewed view and appealing to people in power, but actually a newspaper for the citizens of this town. Who's London?? Trying to put a spin on this city with it's constant construction, stupid metallic trees, spendthrift politicians and outdated traffic light system? Forget it!

KEEP CHAIN RESTAURANTS OUT OF DOWNTOWN
Why is it that in DT London, where we are supposed to be promoting local shops and restaurants, a Jack Astors has just opened up on the corner of Richmond and Central? What's worse than that? Apparently right across the street where Mongolian Grill used to be, a Boston Pizza is opening up.
So while independent business owners are struggling to provide good service and keep business, these corporate chains are just laughing.
How is that fair?

Restore downtown! Bring back the Festivities!
London has lost it's appeal in many ways. The atmosphere, the activities and the people are not quite as friendly. London has become rough around the edges. Population has risen and we've become crowded and congested. Life is tough enough, bring the spunk back to London and restore people's faith in our city.

Try creating a petting farm at Western Fairgrounds
The petting farm set up during the fair is always packed. So why not set one up for weekends because what children or family doesnt enjoy interacting and seeing farm animals. It can also be used to display the farming/agricultural industry from around London/Middlesex county...

London need's to put UWO's feet to the fire
City Hall needs to change the main focus of UWO's research and development toward local ventures instead of international. More than just "encourage" linkages between London businesses and UWO, Ivey and local hospitals, it's time to convince them of who is paying a large portion of the bills. London industry deserves to be first the list of potential partners, not the last resort. This idea will be received with shock and awe!
