If you were the mayor of Montreal, what changes would you bring to the city?

[Skym]

Alright, let's say in a hypothetical scenario, you're elected the new Mayor of Montreal starting today, what changes would you bring to this city?

Would you cut down on bike paths?
Fight the corruption in the construction industry?
Make free parking downtown?
Be a more business friendly mayor?
Focus more on social issues?
Focus more on the economy?
Be more of a conservative minded Mayor? Or more Liberal left leaning?

What would you do to improve the lives of everyday Montrealers?

What would you do on your first term as the Mayor of Montreal?



Discuss!

With all these mysterious fires in old and heritage buildings (that somehow never get properly investigated and are obviously caused by developers who get away with it), I would enact extreme measures: every time there's a fire in a heritage building and suspects can't be identified, the site would be taken over by the government and not allowed to be sold.

Then to pay for the rebuilding of the building (in its original form), every big developer company would each be fined $10 million for each fire that happens - If the cause of a fire can't be identified, and it's suspected arson for 'development' purposes, every developer company would be considered guilty by default.

Things would change...

If I were mayor I would scrap all those pedestrian only streets. I would scrap all bike paths, sidewalks would all be narrowed to the standard width seen for decades, all streets would become two direction streets no more one direction streets. Speed limits raised on major streets even residential streets I would bring back the 50km/hr speed limit. Scrap a lot of the parking meters, the city would aim to facilitate the use of cars in the city.
