67It’s comical how these councillors and the mayor are trying to show the people of the Sault that they care. It is insulting to the voters who have watched this city decline over the last term. It’s definitely time for a change starting with the mayor.If you want to get people’s attention then fix the roads , just imagine the state of the roads after another four years , the cost to taxpayers will be immense along with the new dump that is being filled up free from the botched hospital deal. This group is setting the city up for financial ruin while promoting their own interests.

64All this is just more political grandstanding than actually addressing the issue residents are concerned about.Caputo herself voted to approve the sale to the developer in December. If there were concerns about data centres, those questions should have been raised before approving the sale.You can’t vote to sell the land and then, once public opposition grows, introduce a motion that conveniently allows you to say you’re “doing something” while acknowledging it won't actually change the project people are protesting.Creating a ban on future projects doesn't solve the concerns surrounding the one sitting in front of us today, this is just grand standing right before the election.

16She has a decent point. It has already been approved and I'm sure contracts made. You guys always whine when money has to get spent, how much do you think the court battle will cost the city?

42This proposal should have been made BEFORE the city agreed to sell the land for a Data Centre! A genuine case of too little too late and gross incompetence. Nice to be considering the future when you ruined the present. Thank goodness there's an election.

Should city public works staff paint lines on our roads?
42Perhaps they could also correct the dangerous lane designations at Albert and East, McNabb west near Elmwood and most recently Second line West at Goulais. None of these make any sense.

Why does the sidewalk on Second Line stop at Arden Street?
41It's wild that with the election coming up, councillors are actually starting to bring motions forward that people actually care about. What's next?

32Just use city employees and get it done by May 15th of each year. Use a better quality paint and worry less about the environment.

38The city employees used to do it. They did a great job at it.

29Gotta love it when the politician forgets their place. This reads to me like a "shut it and pay your taxes, peasants" Remember dear candidates and current council, you are nothing but our representation. Not our boss.

35Agree 100% I could not understand why there are turning arrows on Wallace Terrace, in the centre lane, to turn into no where? One side is Algoma steel and the other is sidewalk?

8🤔 I do not blame her, since many have been suggesting the city needs to be audited by an outside entity over the past few decades.

28Gardi wants to be re-elected. Suddenly this sidewalk is a safety issue. Why wasn’t it raised over the past 3 years?Need to shake up this council and elect a new Mayor.

27It takes the city over half the summer to fill potholes, so you actually think they’re going to do any better with painting the lines?

22Every year the roads are taking longer to get painted. While purchasing our own vehicles and supplies and doing the work ourselves is worth exploring, we should also explore other solutions.A shared services model between the Sault, Prince, Bruce Mines, Thessalon and other communities near us could allow us to reduce capital and operating costs for Sault Ste. Marie.It’s also worth considering a model where we purchase supplies and equipment to deal with high-priority areas but contract out the less critical/higher volume areas.Let’s look at all the options, then choose the solution that balances the need to get the work done on time, while providing the return on investment that taxpayers should expect.

26The city is audited by a third party (KPMG) every year - https://saultstemarie.ca/government/budget-and-financial-statements/

24They cannot fool us, eh? Most of them should be gone in the election, as most wards have very good choices for NEW council members. The key is to get out and vote. The Sault usually has a very low turnout, so let's make that effort to get out this time and vote.
