'Disappointing': High costs derail Orillia’s red light camera plan
23It’s interesting that when it doesn’t make money, the safety factor isn’t deemed important enough to install them. It kinda tells you that the speed cameras were more about money over safety. Not saying they were right or wrong but why not install these when they say they are needed? They showed their true priorities.

Orillia rebrands Brian Orser Arena as Gill Street Community Complex
21Who made the decision to rename this building if it was not council? Simple question. Who are these mysterious "City Officials"??

Orillia rebrands Brian Orser Arena as Gill Street Community Complex
6A name does not change the use of a facility…most people do not care what it is called.Names of local people are usually only known by or of interest to one generation anyway yet a big fuss is made when they become unknown or uninteresting to the next ones.“You might miss what’s ahead of you if you keep concentrating on what’s in the rear view mirror."

14At over $300 a ticket, it would be a cash grab.

‘It was a pain’: Delivery van blocks Washago driveway for days
20I believe these "last mile" delivery companys use the Uber business model, where drivers are independent contractors, paid by delivery and expected to provide their own vehicle. Not a very desirable scenario for anyone, IMO.

16If it’s really a problem, how about providing a stat as to how many accidents were caused by running red lights?

COLUMN: City's pre-Christmas delay of poverty strategy evokes Scrooge
10Mainly a Federal and/or Provincial problem. We have already gone above and beyond…why do you think out-of-towners end up here??Also poverty like food insecurity is open to interpretation depending on economic standing and country one lives in.

2Having a drivers license is a privilege and not a right.If you are ticketed for running a red light via a ticket in the mail from a photo shot then, take away the perpetrators license for 12 months and let them take the bus.BUT,do not let them by monthly passes or tickets.Let them pay cash for every single trip.That would be cost recovered as it would boost ridership on our transit system and put much needed money back into the system.And hey,after their 12 month "suspension" than back to a graduated license and apply a 3 strike rule for any traffic infraction. Problem solved.

Christmas rush or bust? Downtown Orillia merchants see mixed results
4Downtown Orillia is no longer the Orillia Business District. West Orillia offers the goods and services that shoppers are seeking. City Council must accept reality. Rethink Missisauga Street as low rental housing or, services for drug addicts, people living with disabilities and housing for the homeless. Seek subsidies from other levels of government to reinvent old Downtown for its current reality.

12Maybe time to get our bloated police service out doing what we pay them to do.
3- What?
Orillia rebrands Brian Orser Arena as Gill Street Community Complex
3Agreed. Also, there's a Brian Orser arena in Penetanguishene as well. How many arenas do we need named after Brian Orser, who hasn't been relevant to skating in 2 decades??

7Also, they would instantly be labelled "cash grab" by scoff-laws and dangerous drivers and Doug Ford would ban them.

5Its cheaper to higher students to watch the intersections with a phone and record the plates manually.Hire a student....or make a new bylaw that won't be enforced.

5Never heard of it until today…maybe they need to improve PR, find past energy (COVID has been over for some time) or regretfully call it a day!!?

13Are there any restrictions or guidelines as to the naming rights? Does this mean that anyone with enough cash can name a facility whatever they wish?
