Two 7-storey apartment buildings proposed for Arundel Street

They go with a large number of units, you people complain about "potential traffic increases". They go with a smaller number of units, you people call it "bait and switch". They could go with six houses and you people would still make up some new reason to be offended. We need housing, period. This city has an enormous amount of green space in every single neighborhood. Let it go. There are much larger issues you could find offense over, find something actually worth rising up over.

Sad to see. Canadians are losing local shops because Liberals' policies drove up costs, turning this city and the rest of the country into the food inflation capital of the G7. With hidden taxes and reckless spending, families are paying more for food. Because so much money goes to the grocery bill, there is less left to spend at local stores. This forces hard-working businesses to close their doors.

Shame on city council for cancelling fireworks again

Thunder Bay needs to utilize urban infill first and foremost before destroying greenspace that would require water, sewer etc.

At this rate it will no longer be Superior by Nature, just a Giant Heart of Concrete

Another luxury push from Terralux. Good for numbers, not so much for the affordable housing targets they're missing. Especially with the developer's backstory, it's a bit rich seeing all this high-end focus.

They just made them taller and more overpowering! Removing most of the greenery and walking/biking paths etc . The prices for the existing homes will never recover if the bait and switch is allowed to proceed. Why are you not showing what the second rendition looked like instead of the Ist draft that was overwhelmingly a big no? The third draft is an overreach of height and a we the contractors do not care, what the community that will surround it has already said about the project.

It would be better to also add a second turn lane heading south from Harbour onto the Expressway - traffic is sometimes almost to Golflinks when it is busy.

Enough with the same comment, you already used that one numerous times.

Plenty of derelict city properties where this kind of thing would be better suited vs a more rural area displacing wildlife and cheapening there area.

Adding the extra left-turn lane at Golf Links helps in the short term, but it's just another patch. The Thunder Bay Expressway was built in the late 1960s intending to become a full freeway with interchanges. Plans were detailed in the 1970/1989 Master Plans, studied in the 1990s, and specific proposals (partial cloverleafs at Balsam, Red River, Northwest Arterial/Golf Links, plus Harbour Expressway upgrade) came out in 2015.Still waiting in 2026 for the 2028-targeted upgrades... time to stop delaying and actually build this so we can finally eliminate the signalized backups and support the area's growth.

No it’s called Walmart and Amazon. If you can get it cheaper and delivered for less, why not?

Yet they play the game that resident input is crucial. This was decided long ago.

You are easily triggered and offended.

If there is to be "a significant buffer" between the development and the existing residential properties as Joel DePeuter states, then it should have been reflected in the site sketch included in the Notice of Application that was posted AND sent to property owners within 120 metres of the proposed development. Why would they ask for our comments on that site sketch if they knew it didn't accurately reflect what was being built?

Great, positive story. The shipping terminals have become the "sleeper" drivers of Thunder Bay's economy - always important, but easy to overlook.

Nice try. This has nothing to do with the economy and everything to do with the decline of shopping malls. Bricks and mortar retail is dying.

Nothing to do with online shopping, right? I didn't realise that the liberals controlled world economy so much...here I thought it's the mega corporations and consumers wants.
