'Infuriating': Resident frustrated after city denies pothole claim
6Whether her claim is true or not, a car that is 20 years old would have siginificant wear no matter how well it was maintained.IF she had already replaced her struts prior to this claim , then maybe she would have a case .

30I know the pothole Sheila McDonald is talking about. I barely missed going into that pothole myself. It was huge, and I don’t believe it matters what year your vehicle is, if you were to hit that pothole you’re going to have major damage!

29So the moral of the story here is to call the city and report EVERY POTHOLE. Light up the pothole hotline and run the roads department off of their feet until they realize it’s a problem across the whole city

'Infuriating': Resident frustrated after city denies pothole claim
23Ontario Regulation 239/02 (MMS), needs an amendment to include an accessible daily Publicly advertised warning upon any pot holes the City becomes aware of in the City.This way, drivers can check regularly, or report, pot holes the City must repair within their responsibilities. I feel the City is avoiding it's duties to protect the motoring public by relying on legislation that allows them to avoid their moral responsibilities, regardless of responsibility.

17The City is becoming more of a joke. High Paid councillors who only want photo ops, it seems that West Ridge is all they care about , speed cameras only in the older part of the city for another money grab, terrible snow removal , dare I say more.

City antes up $315,000 to aid affordable housing complex downtown
9And there lies the problem, social assistance pays more than minimum wage providing no incentive to go out and find a job.

14When is the city going to quit all the ridiculous spending schemes. Just finish the road without all the extra spending & concentrate on what this city needs...affordable housing, not building rich developers million dollar club projects.

11Why would the city put in bike lanes when there are bike lanes on the trail? A simple detour down Fittons would take a rider to the trail and then downtown. Waste of money in my opinion.

7Wherever I drive in town, I know there are problem areas. You just have to slow down and drive around them. Simple common sense.

COLUMN: Province quietly legislating extinction in 'reckless' way
3Humans and other species are all in danger of extinction in one way or another and at any time. In the meantime whose lives are MORE important?Nature is stronger, can take care of itself and will continue thriving long after we are gone…a prime example is Chernobyl.

12Laclie is close to the 2 trails. Bikers can use them

13Study after study proves investments in active living and transportation pay off significantly more than the initial investments. You can’t allow 4 units per property, allow developers to cut parking spots to increase profit and create a denser city without alternatives to current practices.
