I appreciate Shoemakers dedication, however i believe SSM needs a more fiscally responsible Mayor, and entire council for that matter. Raising taxes should not be the solution year after year.

The city used to do this, i dont know when or why it stopped.

The city has enough to "maintain"... i use quotations because they barely maintain the assets they have now

The 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.

Some more investigation is needed, it seems. Who at the City was involved?

Perfect! Great pick for Ward 3, versus the current councillors.

Its already a seasonal trailer park... if the city maintained their assets, they wouldn't be in this mess.

This is the result of poor asphalt/road design/road construction that has been happening for years. City cheaps out on lowest bid, and now they pay the price.

Speed cameras also opens the door to mass surveillance. No thanks.

Since 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.

With the increased density of townhouse units that have been developed along and around Dacey (almost 100 units so far) im surprised the city did not anticipate the increased traffic. The developper is responsible for conducting traffic studies as supporting documentation for any zoning/development/subdivision plans. It is also the developers responsibility to pay for road/intersection upgrades as a result. In this case there are multiple issues at hand with regards to connection to Rankin area and students crossing trunk road, but regardless, the developer should be pitching in, it shouldn't be 100% tax payer funded.

Despite the assumed racist undertone in this comment, immigration is quite literally the solution, and if you don't realize it, you're living in la la land.

This is going to be a nightmare for Greyhound fans tomorrow night. WOWZA no thought or logistics went into this plan.

His party gained 25 seats and had a record setting amount of votes this past election. He's not going anywhere anytime soon.

I wouldnt be able to park on my street anyways, the city has not yet cut the banks down all winter. My Road looks like a goat path, with nowhere for the water to drain, causing freeze thaws and ultimately potholes.

Why don't you report in this style for backdoor deals and cover-ups happening here locally!

The only way to get in and out of the mall/bay street will be near Gore/Andrew street near Wendy's, or coming down Bay from Huron Street. What a mess
