Permanent speed cushions will soon be a thing of the past in Guelph

Now remove the bike lanes that haven’t seen a bike since inception.

Permanent speed cushions will soon be a thing of the past in Guelph

For what it's worth, if people, including handicapped, would slow down, there would be no "bone jarring"! First, our government takes away speed cameras (policy could well have been altered) and now, a sensible way to slow all vehicles in high traffic areas has been canceled due to pressure applied to politicians. Ask the police service what their opinion is. Potholes create more problems for vehicles than soft cushion speed bumps.

First you put in all these traffic calming measures because people complained. Now you're taking them out because people complained!? You guys should be gymnasts you do so many flip flops. You didn't do anything when people complained about the bike lanes though did you? What is this costing us and who's budget is it coming out of? Gong show!

Guelph & District Multicultural Festival faces shortfall as it celebrates 40th year

Celebrating multiculturalism was such a quaint and lovely idea some forty odd years ago. Now? Not so much I’m afraid. Time to let the festival wither and die on the vine.

Interesting how a third of them are in one neighbourhood. Which City staff live in the Grange hill area?

OPINION: Policy is fine, but traffic calming starts at home

There are numerous and I mean numerous things I find wrong with this article. I can not even pinpoint the most absurd thing wrong. This reads more like a drunk guy ranting and raving, all the while, confusing definitions of words; as well as, misrepresenting what other people have said or claimed. If you guys need a proofreader, I AM available for hire.

I recommend research to understand the difference between local weather and global climate.Plus I'm always concerned with those who cite specific individual examples to absolve themselves from seeing reality and from taking any personal responsibility. It's unhelpful.

West end developer can't issue parking tickets, tow vehicles: council

The City is a major part of these problems as at the very beginning of of these projects they permit the construction to proceed with less and less parking and to many variances to zoning. As usual here we go again with court proceedings and very distressed tenants that are paying disgustingly high priced rents. Lets stop these greedy contactor problems at the beginning, NOT as they proceed.

OPINION: Policy is fine, but traffic calming starts at home

Enough about the traffic calming nonsense. People will seed regardless of what physical restrictions are put in place. Traffic calming just removes the responsibility from the driver by forcing compliance.Data shows that with the speed cameras speeding was low and reducing..It also shows that without it speeding has increased ten fold. People said that it was just cash grabbing but facts show it was an effective deterrent. The very level of complaints show the number of people that are now speeding through school zones once more. Amongst all of the traffic crimes that exist passing school buses with the red lights on and speeding through school zones are ones that should be enforced with extreme prejudice.Put the cameras back and let them complain.

What? I'm confused, you're removing them because some people find them too hard? How is this any different than the horrible, bumpy, pot hole filled roads we have that haven't been improved since last year? There's also gradual ones, not the plastic ones with a hard lip.

In this year's coming election I will vote for anyone who stops any further traffic calming measures and/or has existing ones removed.

Bring back the Speed Cameras. Bring back the traffic cops. Put the money collected toward health care and homelessness. Vote out the current Ontario PC party. Can’t get away with driving too fast, Mr. Premier Ford? Why not try a private jet on for size using taxpayers dollars? The people are telling you, the party is over, Doug.
