New Harbour Expressway turn lane build to close current one
30It 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.

13Sad 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.

23Adding 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.

10They 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.

18Thunder Bay needs to utilize urban infill first and foremost before destroying greenspace that would require water, sewer etc.

East End promotion, tunnel cleanups planned during bridge closure
16So what has to wonder whose friends with Brian on this one because there's only 2 public businesses in the East End and one of those is the legion. I'm not really clear on why anybody would think that they're closed especially since they have another access that everybody in the city who goes there knows about so what are we wasting money for exactly? The security for the tunnel idea is an absolute joke and the fact that the tunnel is not an issue until now is even more concerning. This tunnel has been a massive issue and they have done nothing why is he just now concerned about it? I have a feeling it might be something to do with the elections right around the corcorner The fact is there should be security on that tunnel 24/7 and it should have been properly cleaned a long time ago and to maintain properly on a regular basis. Everybody in that area knows this and has wanted this for years but he is ignored this issue...

12The cost of demolition, asbestos removal will be astronomical, this fact will guarantee that the city of thunder Bay will acquire the site from the province, and taxpayers in thunder Bay will eat another sandwich because of our incompetent management and council.

Hamilton to run again in McKellar
17The guy who got caught in a conflict of interest on the truck route vote, who’s had multiple Integrity Commissioner run-ins, and who had to apologize for decade-old tweets supporting Jian Ghomeshi and other problematic comments from years ago.Oh, and don’t forget the chocolate milk incident… when he dumped a container on anti-abortion protesters displaying graphic images and ended up with assault charges. Real ‘front line, connected to the community’ energy right there.Now he’s back telling us he needs to stick around the table to finish all the big projects in the ward: the endless revitalization zones, the controversial shelter village, and whatever else keeps construction signs up longer than actual results. Two terms in and McKellar still has the same potholes wondering when ‘long-term success’ is finally showing up.Maybe it’s time for some fresh blood instead of another lap of controversy and ‘trust me bro’ leadership.

10They 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.
