Construction for new city transit and fleet facility has begun
22The actual cost is $3541 per household or $1222 per resident, plus interest on federal, provincial and municipal debt. At the end of the day, we are the ones paying for this overbuilt infrastructure.

14My point is that they can tout all they want that the feds and the province are contributing - but at the end of the day they're still wasting the taxpayer's money on something that wasn't necessary (or at the very least is being overbuilt) in the first place.

Council to discuss ending emergency overnight warming at city hall
16Councillor Caton .. “Not everyone is welcome at Stepping Stone for various reasons"... Citizens deserve actual transparency on what these "various reasons" are... Edge cases involving trama and safety?? Or were many tied to violence.. threats.. drugs.. repeated rule violations?? Because those are VERY different situations.. Instead, we have a councillor blurring them together to justify continuing an unsupervised shelter at city hall... Compassion without stands ins't policy.. sorry.. that's surrender.

14Don't know how these people sleep at night allowing this horrific mismanagement of city resources. When is this city council going to learn the difference between WANTS and NEEDS. Our elite City Hall has always been fantastic at spending TAX paid money for there sometimes pet project's and this is another one added to [ the multi million dollar Wet Dry fiasco, the EATON CENTRE , THE River Run Centre [ still paying for it 40 years later] City Hall and Police Station [ millions over budget and extended court cases ] I could go on and on but the majority of Guelph tax payers already know the mess were in. AND by the way all the people in this picture have a shovel in hand for one main reason [ TO HELP BURY ALL THE WASTED TAX MONEY]

City hall is no longer an emergency overnight warming or cooling centre
20It is absolutely 100 percent the right decision to make. Stepping Stone is available for anyone who needs a space and there is no need to trash the City Hall.

14So what’s your actual point? Anything the city builds is paid for by municipal taxes. The cost per household (or per citizen), needs to be spread over the service life of the building but only after deducting the savings attributable to consolidating multiple currently occupied properties.

19It wasn't a good idea in 2024 at $170 mil, and certainly not today at $200 mil...From 2024:"Building new transit admin facilities at any cost ($170 Mil is still a BIG number) without improvements in rider service is not a good look at all for Council - especially when Transit has deferred a public washroom at Central Station until 2029!"

Two councillors want historic McQuillan's Bridge replaced rather than fixed
14Bridges are functional infrastructure. They aren’t meant to last forever. This is not the Golden Gate. Replace it with something low cost, safe, and functional and move on. Thank you councillors for finally listening to the electorate.

13As a rate payer, I would rather they do the cheaper option. It's functional and faster.I personally don't see anything about the current structure that demand's it's preservation. It was a functional structure, not art. This is not the West Montrose Covered bridge that serves as a tourist attraction. It's a way to cross the river. It used to be for cars as well and it was downgraded to just pedestrians. It doesn't need to do more than that.

Internal audit turns up improper buying for city fleet maintenance
17How many Leaf tickets….Lunches/ dinners….any repercussions ? When is the last time an upper / middle management has been held accountable…time for any elected official to speak up.

9Goller is one of my councillors - and I definitely emailed him about how unnecessary it is to rehabilitate this bridge. Glad he is listening.As someone who uses the trails and this bridge on a semi regular basis, I don't care if it's old concrete or new steel. Just because something is old doesn't mean it has historical importance.

12One of the last remaining bowstring bridges left in Canada, built by Charles Mattaini. Guelph is so fortunate to have it.

14Why was McQuillan’s Bridge closed? Safety concerns regarding the bridge's deteriorating condition were cited as the reason.The Real Reason --- Because it is owned by the City of Guelph and no-one in the city administration or council did anything to maintain the bridge!Now councillor Goller has the audacity to say “If it was just a matter of doing the right thing, then we do it."Where was he and councillor Gibson "Doing The Right Thing" before the closure? Nowhere.These councillors should NOT be listened to since the city residents and public bodies have both accepted option 2!

7The only people who show up for those exercises are the activists. You might as well ask a bunch of vegans what type of burgers should be served at the Calgary stampede. You’ll get a clear answer, but it won’t be the right one.
