Raised crossings, bike-led traffic signals in city’s plan
21B Be: I'm a Guelph taxpayer and am happy for my tax dollars to go for this. There are many things the tax dollars go toward that I don't use: The Skatepark, many community programs, etc. But I'm happy to see my tax dollars being spent on initiatives I support. I hope you take your opportunity to vote for a car-centred city this Fall, and I will certainly vote for a human-centred city. Let's see which candidates win out.

Council offers mixed messages on the point of the Sleeman Centre
27The Sleman Centre hasn’t hosted a major act since the Arkells back in 2023 — a glaring gap for a venue designed to bring energy and entertainment to the city’s core. Somewhere along the line, officials bought into the bizarre notion that the building needed to sit empty most of the year just to accommodate one or two big shows. It’s an approach that makes little sense for a facility capable of juggling hockey schedules, community events, and concerts with ease. Other cities fill their arenas year‑round — meanwhile, ours gathers dust through the summer months. The fix was simple, the opportunity obvious, and yet, once again, the city dropped the puck.

University of Guelph professor warns IOC transgender ban will harm women’s sport
20Its a pretty simple explanation as to why the IOC did what they did. If they can be an accomplished athlete compete with your own gender!!

City offering free two hour parking at the Macdonell St. lot
20Probably cost a lot less than the cost of giving up parking revenue along Wyndham Street for the duration of the construction. But perhaps it will keep Wyndham Street merchants from losing so much revenue they go out of business. That will reduce city income significantly, not to mention the blight of having an empty downtown core.

One-bedroom asking rents in Guelph drop $133 year-over-year
12It is positive news.Guelph's rising cost of living is a real concern for many residents. For a single renter, monthly expenses average $3,800–$4,000, with rent taking nearly half (~$1,900–$2,145). Seniors and low-income families are struggling to cover essentials like groceries and daily needs—you'd need about $23+/hour just to get by. With housing so tight, we need more homes and rental units on the market across the board to boost supply and drive prices down—yet City Hall is fighting developers on key apartment projects in the downtown core, while others sit dormant and stalled. Let's work together compassionately to cut the red tape, get these builds moving, and create a more affordable future for our community.

Raised crossings, bike-led traffic signals in city’s plan
12Why have I never seen data that show speeds under 50 km/hr present a danger to the public? None of the proposed measures will stop motorists running red left turn signals and stop signs . How many injuries will result from traffic cushions (obstructions) and barriers? Again no data. Council and many of my fellow Guelphites base their decisions on emotion not logic. The money spent on slowing down traffic would be better spent on improving intersection sight lines, teaching school children bike safety, and training Guelph transit drivers what to do at a stop sign (it’s not a “slow down” sign!)

16Allowing biological males to compete against women in women's sporting events will do much more harm to women's sports. This article is another example of an educated stupid person spouting off.

16A university professor claiming there’s no evidence of advantage is wild…. That’s either ignorance or willful omission... There’s extensive research on male puberty advantages in strength, VO₂ max, and skeletal structure… You can debate policy, but you can’t erase the biology. And we’ve seen real-world gaps play out whether in record disparities or even training scrimmages vs women’s national teams… If this is the level of analysis informing policy, that’s the real concern.And if inclusion is the goal, why is the burden only on women’s sport??? Male/open categories already exist so why is fairness only being redefined on one side?

10Maybe landlords are finally realizing that almost $2000 for a one bedroom is ridiculous. I don't want to be paying someone else's mortgage.

11If a 'speed cushion' causes injury to some people, that is likely because they or their driver is going over the cushion too fast. There is nothing in the rules that says the car cannot crawl over the bump. People in this city drive over the spped limit as a matter of course. They do not actually get to their destination more than a few seconds earlier. I know, as I frequently catch up to the speeder at the next red traffic light. So, avoid injury by going slower.

9"Somewhere along the line, officials bought into the bizarre notion that the building needed to sit empty most of the year just to accommodate one or two big shows"...Is there actual demand for more events that are being turned away? Or are you just assuming it's easy to fill (with a positive ROI as well)?? I've never paid attention to the building outside of hitting a few Storm games, but I feel like the better answer is a hybrid model... protect peak dates for events (if there is actual demand with an ROI), and use off-peak with dynamic pricing for the community youth sports...

12So why publish an opinion of a professor of business ? Big deal that he works at the U of G.I would bet there are a few people that disagree with him .
