Council approves ‘amazing’ 24-storey building set for downtown
27Another reason for me to never go near downtown Guelph. A place a spent a lot of my childhood and miss, but it's a hole now!!!! Not far off walking downtown Toronto, never know if you're gonna get mugged, get blind sided, etc...... And now let's build an eyesore with over 400 units and less than 100 spots.... Wow, great job council....... Just amazes me how blind city council is. Thankfully i live nowhere close to the streets that "tenants" will be parking on every day and night, plus "visitors" to those units... Just a joke Guelph, do better, we pay enough to have some actual minds on council don't we?????

Province begins expropriating more land for new Hwy. 7
4Ever since I was a kid this highway 7 has been debated. I always knew it was caused by the death grip of old people who refused to do anything that would help anyone else. It defines the Boomer generation.

27Just the usual fact-free, pointlessly reactive rant. But as you bellowed, you don't go there anymore and plainly have no stake in the City's future. Relax!

23Again with this tired argument... Our downtown is lovely and walkable for those who actually visit and care. As for parking, as of right now, the real time parking spot tracker that’s on the city website shows over 900 parking spots available downtown. There’s honestly an obscene amount of parking available almost all the time and the number one thing people complain about is parking. It’ll be just fine. Maybe leave the car at home and go touch grass… sounds like it might do you some good.

33What has this to do with boomers and old people! Nothing! This has never been a priority of the provincial governments (Liberal, Conservative and even NDP) nor the Highway 6 south extension. The highway 6 extension, which was an idea at the time of the Hanlon being built, was in 1970. The environmental assessment for the new highway 7 only goes back to the 90's.

14This should be embarrassing for boomers and old people alike. How long has this highway 7 nonsense been going on? Talk about terrible leadership and people who refuse to change.

21So few parking spots. And the closest grocery store is ....ummm, wait for it - you have to drive to it.

15We have a shortage of affordable housing, and this is what is being built instead of addressing affordable housing? There was just another building built on College Avenue geared to students. This building is an eyesore, and I'm sure the construction will bring problems to the downtown economy which is already suffering.

17The more people living downtown, the more money stays downtown and better the local economy will be. This is a good thing. I hope it’s just the start.

Council withdraws application to redesignate Niska lands
20What an embarrassing mistake of historical proportions.Here we have government-owned land situated inside a city that is desperately in need of expanded field space and far below parkland targets. But instead of allowing us the ability to use what is really the only remaining available public-owned land big enough to do the job, they're threatening to sue the city?Here we have a local government authority threatening to sue another local government authority, just so they can ignore their mandated mission and instead sell assets to fund operating costs. A conservation authority refusing to conserve, fighting for the right to mortgage the future to pay for the present.What is this insanity? Who are these people that we're putting in charge? Do they have any sense at all? Every single member of the GRCA board should be ashamed.

10A city bus runs every 10 minutes on Gordon-Norfolk-Woolwich....I can count at least 5 grocery/department stores on the route....and yes people do use the bus to grocery shop! It can be and has been done

10Good. Being a landlord is not a right, but being housed should be.

11And they thought downtown already has a parking problem.Hey, maybe the residents can park at a GO park-and-ride, and take the train to downtown Guelph.

16Creating and financing supportive or low income housing is the responsibility of the federal and provincial governments, not the back of the private sector. Especially one that lumps all landlords as greedy and without concern for their fellow human.This will not produce more low income housing. It will do the opposite.Colin F
