People's Road reopening to traffic this week
SooToday
48Actually, they are right on schedule. Closed May 28, and was expected to be 26 weeks which brings us to Wednesday of this week. Yesterday. Do you really want them to pave the top coat now while there is snow on the ground and the pavement cracks in the spring? Makes more sense to pave the entire road all together once the next portion of work is done. That was the original plan. No need to be so negative. People have been complaining that we need road work done in this city, and now that they are working on the roads, we have negative people like yourself complaining.

New playground equipment coming to the Sault
SooToday 25So negative. People complain all the time that the city does nothing, but when they do do something, people complain anyways. At least now when the snow melts, the equipment will be usable right away. If they wait until the spring, they have to wait for the snow to melt, and the ground to thaw out.

'We will be there for you': Sheehan vows to fight for affected Algoma Steel employees
SooToday 3@Honda - the liberals are pushing green steel because most other countries aren't allowed to purchase non green steel to abide by their green rules. That is why it is important that we create new trade relationships with other countries, so when the USA tanks, we have other customers to sell our product to.

MTO makes changes to Highway 17 construction
SooToday 3SpaLady - Maybe you should relocate and live in town if you don't want to deal with the construction. Maybe make arrangements for the toddler to stay in town to avoid the construction. Maybe bring some games or toys to distract the toddler. My hubby and I have 4 children, and used to road trip across Canada. We always brought distractions.

Can our downtown benefit from shopping-mall promotional techniques?
SooToday 2That's not what this article is talking about. We would not be advertising for store owners. They said similar to how mall advertises for stores. We would be advertising for things like the agawa canyon tour train, pointe des chenes beach, fort creek conservations area, Hiawatha highlands, Rotary Fest, Bon Soo, etc.Instead of tourists walking buy empty ugly store fronts, they will see nice and fresh advertising for

Don’t flip out: Sault getting a second Stacked Pancake House
SooToday 4Lauren Kroll, Maybe if you gathered up about $500,000 you could email the Keg or Moxies and see about securing franchise rights to open one up. Also, we already have a Casey's here.

Is there a better way to move traffic between downtown and uptown?
SooToday 1So you're blaming the city for the huge increase in motor vehicle operators? When you were young, they were still using horse & buggy, so of course there was less traffic. You also have to factor in that most households have more than one vehicle now. When I was young, we had 1 vehicle for a family of 4. Now all 4 of us have our own vehicles. That is not the city's fault. Also, our population has increased significantly. With that come more vehicles, and the need to re-assess our traffic patterns, just like the city is proposing to do.If you think the "city" is doing such a bad job, maybe you should run for council so you can make the changes you want to see. Maybe, if you get elected to council, you will see that you can't just make changes with the wave of a magic wand.

Is there a better way to move traffic between downtown and uptown?
SooTodayThey wanted to put a round-a-bout in, and everyone complained. That would have solved so many issues, but most people are too stupid to understand how they work, so the idea was scrapped.I agree with Greenjeans, a double left turning lane going north on GNR would be great, but once the sackville road extensions is done, that will alleviate lots of the traffic using that left turn lane.

Council axes on-demand bus service, presses on with terminal relocation
SooToday 3Maybe more people would utilize public transit if their input was taken. Also, no one is forcing people to purchase 50K vehicles. Lots of less expensive options out there.

SooToday 3Correct! It also opens up the Dennis street property to redevelopment that could benefit the downtown core.

Huron Shores council votes to decommission Dean Lake Bridge
SooToday--Seller--8 million for a bridge that will require maintenance and upkeep. They are looking at the long term. 7.2 million removes an insurance liability, and puts 5 million towards improvements for a road that has no bridges. That makes more sense to me.

Air Canada cancels plans to resume flights Sunday as union defies back-to-work order
SooToday 1Why? No different that a car sales person. They work an entire 8 hour day without getting paid, and only get paid when they sell a car. All of these workers knew about the pay conditions when they signed their employment contracts.

Sault receives more than $2.5M for downtown improvements
SooToday 2Obviously you have no idea how government funding like this works, but when we receive funds like this, it isn't just fun money to spend how we want, it has to be spent for the specific purpose it was intended for, otherwise we don't get the funds.Really? You are wondering where your tax dollars go? $2,000 is not that much considering the rate of inflation and the cost of living. Does your garbage & recycling not get picked up weekly? Do your roads not get cleared of snow in the Winter? Do they not get swept to remove the sand? Do you not have street lights on your street? etc. etc. Think of how much is costs to put gas in your vehicle, or snowblower, and take a moment to think how much it costs to fill city snow removal equipment.
