‘Shoe’ kicks off election campaign
SooToday
53As a city councillor that displayed some tenacity and forethought - I had high hopes when he became mayor. We wallowed through the already started Downtown Plaza, watched the whole city fall further to the grip of an opioid crisis, had Algoma delete half of its work force and still - our elected officials have the audacity to brew up a floating pool in our river to the tune of $17M.When you cast your vote, remember what our Mayor and Council did to help our city. Nothing.Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Traffic lights at Wallace Terrace and Goulais Avenue go dark this week
SooToday 41Guaranteed on the first Monday morning these lights are out of service, there will be an accident. Then likely again during the next maintenance outage at Algoma Steel … So what is this traffic study? See how many vehicles get wadded up in the next 3-4 months? Anyone that gets t-boned should be merited to sue the city. The only person who’s listening is a councillor that drives through the intersection.

Landowner demands closure of key snowmobile link trail
SooToday 19If you want it to stop, enforce the rules. 8 consecutive years buying a trail pass and not once have I seen a check station.I can guarantee the riders running mountain cans and trespassing aren’t permit holders, they’re making riders who value the trails look bad. SSM Police or OPP just need to hang around the city limits after a snow storm and they’ll rack up thousands in fines.

Hydro One announces preferred route for transmission line to Third Line
SooToday 5Why wouldn’t they run it directly to the Old Goulais Bay Road corridor and then south into the city? Or failing that the corridor that runs into the east end of town by Highway 17. Looks like they’re blazing through woodlands on a diagonal for a “make work” project.

SooToday 2If you drive south down Allens Sideroad towards Baseline, you'll see that Algoma's material yard has slowly turned into a mountain over the years.If they're planning on dredging out a 1/3 of it, where's all of this contaminated material going to end up? What's the impact of having Lake Superior flood into a basin that's been used as, for lack of a better term - a land fill, for almost 100 years?

‘Shoe’ kicks off election campaign
SooToday 1https://www.sootoday.com/local-news/17-million-for-a-floating-pool-that-price-isnt-even-close-committee-told-1131900017 million was the proposed total-project cost. What further “research” should anyone be investing their time in? The fact that the idea was tabled is ridiculous. Federal, provincial or municipal funding provided - it doesn’t matter where the money comes from, it’s our pockets.
