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.

I am flummoxed. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. My eyes would not allow my brain to take in the author's narrative. I am sorry but I cannot get past the grotesque image of this architectural and visual blight on the adjacent neighbourhood. I am confounded as to the absence of a single comment regarding the appearance projected by this rendering, Well I guess as they say beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder. NIMBY please. This building is ugly. Looks like a 3 year old drew a tall rectangular box then sprinkled it with CHEX cereal.

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!

I don't agree with plopping a 10 storey building in the middle of a golf course. Surely, there is land that would be more suitable for this project... especially when they will be knocking down 3 family homes to build it, one of which was built by my Grandfather in 1943, a typical war time build. Our family spent 40 years there and many a family gathering with the associated memories.

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?

The traffic now is horrendous. A ten story building will just be chaos.

"... and in close proximity to transit,” Nigel said. NOT!Their is one bus route within 90 metres of the site, BUT the nearest bus stop is over 400 metres from the site.Have the developers offered to pay for and requested a route change to be in close proximity?

I understand that it is a private developer. I outlined what the University short term housing plans to show that there are plans without the private sector. There is already a private multi story student new build that is west of Edinburgh that was initially approved as public housing before being switched to student only by the developer. So there is even more availability without this ten storey monster near the Cutten Club.

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.

This project is being completed by a private for profit builder not the University.

'Do we care about affordable housing or not?': City council wrestles with development rules

The market determines affordability, we need more housing more than we need affordable housing. The more choices people have the less they are forced to settle for high prices

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.

So 95% of the new housing built will be unaffordable? That's the plan?

Wow a simple concept of bus tickets, so easy just dropped them in the slot dispenser. Way cheaper than any app .

Exactly! If people drove the speed limit and used their heads while driving, we wouldn't need all these speed bumps, or cushions. or whatever you want to call them.
