MAKE A SUGGESTION

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. Instead of hot spot, do presto? Or at least discount

    The HotSpot app is not reliable. There has been too many issues. Why not switch to presto so buying passes are easier with no bugs and we aren't relying 100% on our phones if the app isn't working. Plus it will be easier to use one pass between Barrie and the Toronto area.

    Or if that is not to be, why not do discounts if you buy the Hotspot pass? You are already saving money by not printing cards and paying someone for me to purchase from.

  4. Stop light at the corner of the Queensway and Prince William Way.

    Traffic has increased greatly on Prince William Way with the new high school. The crosswalk light near the Queensway is confusing for drivers. The elementary school is right there. Either a regular traffic light needs to be put on the corner or a traffic attendant needs to be present in the morning/afternoon to safely help kids cross.

  5. Rename the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport the Gordon Lightfoot Regional Airport

    Hello! I recently posted on the Nextdoor local app with regards to renaming the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport to the Gordon Lightfoot Regional Airport.
    I have had in the last few days, over 40 responses agreeing to this change! It would be awesome if the City of Barrie could support me in this cause!!!
    Thanks in advance for any support!

  6. Wind phone

    Sunnidale Park would be a great place to put a wind phone. For people who don't know what it is, please google it. It is an unconnected phone that people can use to say goodbye to loved ones they never got a chance to say goodbye to.

  7. Place some benches or picnic tables at the Busby centre so the poor homeless people can get off their feet while waiting for a bed.

    They stand and walk around all day, to come back to busby shelter to stand even long while outside to see if they get a bed. Some benches, etc and a shelter would help them a bit.

  8. Introduce clothing optional.

    It would be wonderful if the the city of Barrie or Simcoe County could relegate a park or beach that would be clothing optional.
    Like Europe, I think it would be welcomed by many!!!

  9. Tram system

    The public transportation has never been the greatest in Barrie. I think we should have a tram system around the city to move people around easier. I bet more people would use public transportation if it was simple with more lines around town and marketing it as being more convenient then driving.
    Similar to the Europe trams-I have attached the one from Basel Switzerland which is just as bit as Barrie.

  11. 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…
