  1. London needs a name it can uniquely call its own

    London was a name already taken when we adopted it way back when. Too much named after the other London. Why not dust the old name, like Thunder Bay (Port Wm/Port Arthur) and KW (Berlin) did?

  2. Stop the BIG BOX sprawl Madness

    London is obsessed with retail big box sprawl which basically pushes the boundaries of our city and creates empty retail spaces throughout the inner city. This is madness. I probably don't have to convince you, but look around and you will see places like Westmount Mall, which was once thriving and is now empty because developers built their sprawl at Wonderland and Southdale. It makes no sense whatsoever and we the taxpayers pay for all the infrastructure that comes with the sprawl. Stop the madness!! Our city's priority should start at the centre and work it's way out. If we…

  3. we need to focus on what makes us different.

    Every city has a downtown, nice neighbourhoods, entertainment centres, markets etc. What makes London stand out? The river? The music or arts scene? Whatever it is that makes us different, we have to celebrate it.

  4. Encourage people to shop in the neighbourhoods where they live.

    I know the London Strengthening Neighbourhoods Strategy task force is already looking at this and I think it's a great idea. Imagine a city where everyone walked to their local grocery store or local business. Win for the business. Win for the environment. Win for the community.

  5. Bus Passes Included With Taxes

    Having a LTC bus pass included in tuition for Fanshawe or Western has been successful, why not start something similar city-wide? Offer bus passes to Londoners and have the cost included in their taxes. Granted, this idea wouldn't work for people who rent, but it's something worth trying to encourage people to drive less.
