We want to hear from you.

We’re sure that Barrie residents have many great ideas for their City. This is the best place to express and share those ideas with your community. Let’s get the conversations started!

HOW IT WORKS:
Step 1 Enter your idea below and check to see if your suggestion has already been made; if it has, give it your vote and/or comment.
Step 2 If your suggestion has not already been added to this forum, post it!
Step 3 Once a suggestion reaches 500 votes, it will be noted as Under Review.

I suggest the City ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  2. Create more public saunas

    I think we need to have more public saunas at our community centres. The only available public sauna outside of the large chain gyms (which would require a regular priced monthly membership to access), is at Allandale Rec Centre. There is much emerging scientific research demonstrating that 20 min in a sauna at least 4x/week has significant positive impact on cardiovascular health as it mimics moderate aerobic exercise. It also reduces anxiety and has brain benefits as well. So, for folks who are not as active as they’d like to be or perhaps have a disability or injury such that…

    Promote residents to adopt their local fire hydrant and keep them clear of snow for quick access if they’re ever needed.

  4. Dog Waste Stations at Community Parks

    Putting dog waste bags around community parks to pick up after their pets. City By-laws require that you 'stoop and scoop'. Have the bylaw displayed with fine amount along with a dog waste bag dispenser, a dog waste bin, and a sign. Of particular concern is the community park at Lally Terrance and Gateway Drive, Gateway Park. Dog owners are leaving dog waste on sidewalks and walkway paths in the park.

  5. Lower the height of speed bumps on Hanmer

    The speedbumps on Hanmer are ridiculously high/steep. And I believe there are three sets of them.

    Speedbumps in other parts of the city seem lower, or possibly they are longer, so that you don’t feel a giant jolt on the way down from the bump.

    AdminCity of Barrie (Admin, City of Barrie) responded

    To confirm: The heights of the Hanmer Drive speed cushions were measured by the City's Linear Infrastructure group and were found to be constructed at similar heights to the other locations. A list of all locations and more information about traffic calming is available at http://www.barrie.ca/TrafficCalming

  6. Expand On-Street Parking - Franks Way

    I am a new homeowner here in Barrie, I now live on a relatively new street Franks Way just off of Burton in the South End. Between the stretch of 16 houses there is a small permitted area for on-street parking of 5 vehicles. Over the span of the several months living here this small area is CONSTANTLY full resulting in residents of this street and their guests parking in the "No Parking Area". Multiple neighbours have been issued tickets simply because their driveway is full and so is the very tiny area designated on the street itself.

    This designated…
