City encourages you to use snow removal services to clear windrows
SooToday 50The residential streets don't need to be scraped down often. So for the 2 or 3 times a season this is done, there should be a payloader behind the grader to scoop up the ice at the end of each drive way and drop it on people's front lawns. It doesnt take much effort. The city used to do this, im not sure why this has changed, especially considering our taxes have gone up every year... if the city are short staff, im sure they can subcontract this work to a local contractor, it might even be cheaper this way anyways.

Mayors seek meeting with province over extended highway closures
SooToday 41Since Ledcor has won the highway maintenance contract, it's been disastrous. Im surprised at the lack of maintenance in some areas and why the MTO doesn't step in and demand repairs.

Ontario's hallway health care problem worse than ever, hospital data shows
12It's a tricky situation that will take multiple levels of government to fix. I don't think the long term solution is 'more beds'. I think we need to look at why there's such a large rise in injury and illness, and work towards fixing that!

City wants your opinion on all the Sault’s boarded-up houses
SooToday 21Submit a court order to liquidate these properties, tear them down, and then sell as vacant land. We need to re-develop the downtown core, gentrify the area, lower property taxes to incentivize small businesses and developers!

Elders warn of ecological harm from glyphosate at Highway 17 protest
SooToday 17This is actually something that everyone should be concerned about... you cant think of this as the same as spraying your front lawn, this has very damaging effects, not just for biodiversity, but also to humans, sprayed over our heads for us to breath in. All this effort to reduce unwanted invasive species. There has to be a more targeted boots on the ground solution rather than mass spraying.

Mayor cuts off discussion of roundabout at Second Line and Goulais Avenue
SooToday 7There's no need to buy and demolish this building. There's enough space as is to reconfigure the lanes at this light. Go down to one lane for traffic moving east through the intersection, it can open up to 2 lanes further after the intersection, which would allow for a right turn lane, a through lanes, and a left turning lane for traffic moving west. West traffic can reduce to one lane further down after the intersection. Keep Goulais ave as is, but increase the time for the left turning signals between 2-6pm

Photos show devastating flood damage on Highway
SooToday 7The issue isn't due to flooding, it's due to the culvert being undersized for the catchment area and not designed to handle the increased flows. Over time, erosion occurs, the culvert then becomes undermined, and the road above it collapses.

Mayors seek meeting with province over extended highway closures
SooToday 3You can't blame the Ford government on this one... highway maintenance is subcontracted out and MTO chooses the lowest bidder, in which case it was Ledcor, who severely under budgeted the work. It's up to the MTO to enforce the specifications in the contract, and Ledcor would be required to absorb the cost.

Carney to announce new supports for steel industry hammered by U.S. tariffs
SooToday 3That's not possible. While Canada’s domestic steel industry is robust, it does not currently (and cannot practically) supply every type of steel product, thus the need for importing.
