CTV Edmonton Poll

Beginning Feb. 1, Edmontonians will pay the highest transit fares in Canada with cash fare increasing from $3 to $3.20. Various monthly passes will also increase. Do you think the hike is fair?

Yes. How else do you expect the city to pay for expanding and improving services?		0	(0 %)
Maybe but if we are to pay more, we should also see improved transit service.		0	(0 %)
No. It’s too much and I think the fare hike will deter Edmontonians from taking transit.		0	(0 %)

City Council will delay moving forward with the southeast leg of the LRT until August, while they try to secure $515M in funding from other levels of government. What do you think should happen?

It's important to expand the LRT, the city should move forward with the project now, regardless.	58	(35 %)
They should wait, it's not good to start something if the funding is not confirmed.	42	(25 %)
The project is important, but the money needs to be there - we need to wait for the money.	68	(40 %)

Total number of votes: 168

Alberta’s police chiefs have asked the province to let officers suspend licenses and seize vehicles of drivers caught going at least 50 km/h over the speed limit. What do you think of this idea?

The current tickets and fines are enough, I don’t want police to have that much power.		403	(28 %)
I am all for it, clearly, speeding drivers aren’t getting the message right now.		1055	(72 %)

Total number of votes: 1458

CTV Edmonton

The city is facing a $515M funding shortfall for the first phase of the west to southeast LRT line, what do you think the city should do with this project?

Take city administration's advice and delay the start of construction until funding is in place	620	(60 %)
Borrow the money, we need the LRT expanded right away	296	(29 %)
Increase taxes to cover the shortfall	119	(11 %)

Total number of votes: 1035

CTV Edmonton Poll

AHS is still planning on giving its executives bonuses, despite a directive from the AB Gov't to stop. What do you think of that decision?

It's fair, the raise was built into their contracts with AHS anyways.	109	(7 %)
I'm not impressed with AHS, why should they get raises, while teachers and doctors don't?	1458	(88 %)
It's not appropriate for the government to itnervene with an independent organization.	90	(5 %)

Total number of votes: 1657

CTV Edmonton Poll

The city is testing out new smart meter technology. The meters, on loan from Calgary, accepts coins, debit, credit, and allows payment by mobile devices. What do you think of the pilot project?

It’s about time. It’s always a pain trying to find change for meter parking!	504	(47 %)
I rarely go downtown anyway so this pilot project doesn’t really affect me.	433	(40 %)
The pay with your phone option is a great touch, I hope we get the meters permanently!	138	(13 %)

Total number of votes: 1075

CTV Edmonton Poll

The assisted suicide debate is back in the news after a woman accused of helping her elderly mother commit suicide in Hinton made her first court appearance. Should assisted suicide be legal?

Yes. If someone is in pain and wants to die in a dignified manner, they should have the right to.		0	(0 %)
No. There are too many negative and complicated implications to legalizing assisted suicide.		0	(0 %)
Maybe, if there were clear guides to define who qualifies for assisted suicide.		0	(0 %)

CTV Edmonton Poll

A new wireless code by the CRTC sets caps on data & roaming charges, and allows customers to cancel cellphone contracts after 2 years without a cancellation fee. What do you think of these changes?

This is great! I applaud the CRTC for making these changes.	330	(27 %)
This wireless code is a step in the right direction, but not quite enough.	395	(32 %)
These measure aren’t nearly good enough… we’ll still be gouged.	512	(41 %)

Total number of votes: 1237

CTV Edmonton Poll

The City of Edmonton says cold April temps and eco-friendly changes to weed control are the root causes behind a bigger outbreak of dandelions. Is the City doing enough to curb pesky weeds?

It's a disgrace - The city needs to be doing more to manage them.	418	(40 %)
Great to hear there are less herbicides floating around this summer.	135	(13 %)
I'm fine with a few weeds - put the resources and budget behind more important things, like potholes	503	(48 %)

Total number of votes: 1056

CTV Edmonton Poll

The line-up for this year’s Edmonton Folk Festival was released Wednesday and includes names like Feist and Bruce Cockburn. Do you plan on going to this year’s Folk Fest?

Yes. It’s sure to be an amazing music festival.	49	(8 %)
No. I’d like to but tickets are so hard to come by.	115	(20 %)
No, I’m not interested in the kind of music featured at the Folk Festival.	419	(72 %)

Total number of votes: 583

CTV Edmonton Poll

The city has launched a new program where it will include safe driving pamphlets with speeding tickets as a way to get drivers to slow down. Do you think this is an effective way to deter speeders?

Yes. I believe this pamphlet along with the ticket will drive the message home.	55	(5 %)
No. This is a waste of cash and a waste of paper. It won’t deter speeders.	673	(57 %)
I believe more traffic enforcement by police officers is a better way to deter speeders.	451	(38 %)

Total number of votes: 1179

CTV Edmonton Poll

With Mayor Mandel’s announcement that he won’t run for a fourth term, what legacy do you feel he leaves behind for the City of Edmonton?

Mandel has done great work trying to revitalize our downtown including pushing for the new arena.	176	(9 %)
He’s done great work helping put an end to homelessness.	35	(2 %)
The mayor has made great efforts in connecting our city through LRT expansion.	175	(9 %)
He has done so many wonderful things for this city. It’s hard to pick just one.	778	(40 %)

CTV Edmonton Poll

A day after the arena vote, Coun. Kerry Diotte became the first to put his hat into the mayoral candidate ring for the upcoming October election. What do you think of the move?

Since he voted against the downtown arena, he has my vote. He cares about what taxpayers are saying.	205	(32 %)
Diotte doesn't have the vision needed to be mayor of our growing city. It’s a bad move on his part.	301	(47 %)
Change can be good. I’m open to hearing what he has to say and what changes he can bring to the city	135	(21 %)

Total number of votes: 641

CTV Edmonton Poll

National chains may have closed their doors but a few local rental companies say they're cashing in with less competition. Do you still rent DVDs?

You bet. Nothing beats that physical copy and a live person for movie recommendations and service.		311	(39 %)
Nope. Digital downloads and streaming videos are the way to go.		487	(61 %)

Total number of votes: 798

CTV Edmonton Poll

Police have spent $42,000 on six new Segways to help officers patrol the city and respond to emergencies quicker. What do you think of police Segways?

It's a waste of money that could have been better spent elsewhere.	591	(45 %)
This is a good investment. Segways can help officers maneuver easily & react faster to emergencies.	0	(0 %)
I'm not against the idea but would be curious to see how effective the Segways actually prove to be.	723	(55 %)

Total number of votes: 1314

CTV Edmonton Poll

Hockey Alberta has announced it is eliminating body checking from pee wee hockey beginning next season. Is this a good decision?

Yes this is a great move. Checking is dangerous and can cause injuries & concussions.		0	(0 %)
No. Checking is a part of the game. Eliminating it takes away from the sport.		241	(100 %)

Total number of votes: 241

CTV Edmonton Poll

Alberta’s first newborn ‘safe havens’ are now open at 2 Edmonton hospitals – giving parents a safe option to leave unwanted babies. What do you think of designated unwanted baby drop-off spots?

These sites are necessary and safer than having babies abandoned elsewhere.		1100	(100 %)
Parents need to be responsible for their actions. This is a step backwards.		0	(0 %)

Total number of votes: 1100

CTV Edmonton Poll

A cyclist was seriously injured after being hit by a truck. Police say it’s a timely reminder to watch out on the roads. What can be done to ensure less bicycle/vehicle injuries and fatalities?

Cyclists need to bike smart: brush up on road safety procedures and always wear a helmet.	0	(0 %)
Drivers need to be less aggressive and remember a vehicle can be a weapon on the road.	259	(100 %)
There should be more designated bike lanes so cyclists and drivers aren’t competing for road space.	0	(0 %)

Total number of votes: 259

This is long overdue. I’m glad the Edmonton area is finally getting new schools.		0	(0 %)
I don’t think this is enough. I worry about continued classroom overcrowding.		0	(0 %)

The city is moving forward with plans for an urban beach at Louise McKinney Park – but it would not include direct water access to the river. Cost estimates are expected this fall. What do you think?

What’s the point of an urban beach along the river if there’s no river access?		0	(0 %)
Being able to ‘get away’ & get the beach feel right in the city? I love this idea.		0	(0 %)
I need to hear how much it would cost before getting on board.		0	(0 %)
