It’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.
All 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.
She 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?
This 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.
Gotta 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.
Gardi 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.
They 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.
Yes, suddenly everything is important to present councillors obviously just to get re-elected. By the way, why is no one talking about the Sackville extension that looks like a disaster zone when driving by on Third Line?? What happened to that project/promise? This council continually finds new projects to spend our tax dollars on when there are major UNFINISHED projects sitting there literally eroding away! Finish what you started and maintain what we’ve got!
We’ve got some anti development characters on this current city council that we should be very worried about. Young people need jobs to stay in their home town. Young families need opportunity to build a life in SSM. These negative, not in my backyard socialists need to be replaced. We need a complete overhaul in ward 2, 3 and ward 5. There’s some very good candidates running. We need to scrutinize them very well and make some much needed replacements. We can’t afford not to take this very, very seriously. Good luck to all hard working taxpayers in this city.
Definitely, this is where those kids were hit last year. There's an Elder's complex up that way too at Second Line and Allen's Side Road and many of them walk and bus. With no sidewalks, it's dangerous. Especially in the winter.

It's about time the safety of students and other pedestrians is being considered in this area!Please don't drag this out and get it done before there are accidents or even deaths!!Why this has not been done already is beyond understanding!! The safety of our students and pedestrians should come first!!
Good, now build more. I love the outrage from the boomers who want this city to stay as their personal retirement village. All their kids are leaving, and with not enough doctors to go around those boomers will live out their lives alone and miserable.
