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.

Peoples Road construction starting in early May
SooToday 34An extra 15 minutes is not that big of a deal, plan ahead. Also Elliot Rd and Moss road will be accessible this time, so probably less than 15 minutes. In a city this size that can be traversed in about 15-20 minutes, we are still far ahead of travel times down south.People complain that the roads are terrible, and there are many concerns about the infrastructure under the roads, so this is a needed repair. If they didn't do the work, folks would complain.

'We will be there for you': Sheehan vows to fight for affected Algoma Steel employees
SooToday 13@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.

SooToday 17Hey Boomer, if you see in the article, they are planning on doing a multi-use path similar to the hub trail. What a great addition to this area. Great way to connect folks using the hub trail in Fort Creek.

Does Public Works have enough sand for our roads?
SooToday 22You expect them to sand while it is snowing? Sand does nothing to help snow covered roads. People were complaining last week that the roads had sand and then it was taken away with the snow plow. Folks have to make up their mind.

International Bridge crossings down again last month
SooToday 27So gas is $1.17/L here and you basically paid $1.38/L with exchange, plus $12.60 for bridge fare. You are not saving any money hahah

Carbon tax didn't cause Algoma Steel layoffs: Garcia
SooToday 19@Sault Boy18 - Maybe do some research. We have to transition to green steel so we can trade with other countries beside the USA. The whole reason we are switching to green steel is so we can have trading partners other than the USA, so when trump has another hissy fit, we can sell to someone else.

City councillors spend $640,000 dollars a minute for almost four hours
SooToday 23Right? And the taxpayers see that the police department cost us a fortune, and they have totally abandoned enforcing driving rules. Saw an officer look at 2 separate drivers texting on their phones at a red light, and he did nothing. That could have been an easy $1,200 revenue and would have paid for the officers wages for the day.

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.

Carbon tax didn't cause Algoma Steel layoffs: Garcia
SooToday 17It's not the Liberals net zero idiocy, it would be considered Canada's net zero responsibility. In order to do business with lots of other countries, we have to be green to meet the other countries green standards. Even if Conservatives or NDP were in power, we would still be transitioning to greener products.

Peoples Road construction starting in early May
SooToday 16You realize that keeping a lane open can double the time for a job? It can also be extremely unsafe for the workers, and then folks would complain about the long lines to get through one lane. Again, Elliot road to Moss Rd to 4th line will be open. Also, have you ever repaired water mains under the road? It is a giant job. Not as easy when only part of the road is torn up. If 20 minutes earlier is going to mess up your whole day and cost you that much, maybe you need to work on your time management skills hahah

Carbon tax didn't cause Algoma Steel layoffs: Garcia
SooToday 12@cdn.chick - and on top of being better for the environment, we have to be able to offer green products in order to trade with lots of other countries. Lots of these uneducated maple maga folks don't realize that, because Pierre has trained them to hate Carney even though he is doing great things for Canada. They also forget that you cant change the world overnight. These things take time.

A destination resort at Pointe des Chenes? It could happen
SooToday 10Just so you are aware, pretty much everything you listed in your comment perfectly describes a seasonal campground. Campers are there for the season. That's the whole point. The reason they don't move their campers is because when you reserve a spot at a seasonal campground, you automatically get first dibs on it for the following season.

Would you like a fat bike trail at Bellevue Park?
SooTodayThe idea of a fat bike trail at Bellevue park is great! My 14 year old loves to fat bike, but is not allowed to go to Hiawatha by herself, so having an option closer to home and more accessible will be great for her to get some practice before she is old enough to go to Hiawatha.Having a separate trail will reduce the amount of people on the current paths which will make more room for families. It's a win-win.

City shaves 25 mm from Great Northern asphalt job to meet budget
SooToday 3Either they trim the asphalt to keep costs down, or people will complain they are over budget. Can't win either way.

Would you like a fat bike trail at Bellevue Park?
SooToday 1They are not looking to take anything away. You must have misread the article about Pointe Des Chenes. They are looking at redevelopment options for the unused campground that is not longer in service. The public park portion of Pointe Des Chenes will still be available for us to enjoy. Having some development out there would be great addition to the public park portion.They are also not looking to take anything away from Bellevue Park, they are looking to add a great option for people to enjoy nature.

Why did the Agawa Canyon Tour Train suddenly abandon the Canal District?
SooToday 11ihaveanopinion - I highly doubt that is the reason. He built that parking lot specifically for the tour train. Also, there is no shortage of parking in the Canal District. Please don't make up rumors about a great local developer who has done lots for this city.

SooToday 5I think you are commenting on the wrong article. This article is about Bellevue park, not about Winter maintenance.

Would you like a fat bike trail at Bellevue Park?
SooToday 1I see what you are saying, but new bike trails are a great way to give taxpayers options for low cost activities. Much cheaper to go for a bike and enjoy nature that it is to do lots of other activities.
