I guess the sharp corner 30 km/hr warning sign wasn't clear enough for the driver.... surprised they didn't pile into the customs building at 100 km/hr.
I have never understood why letter carriers are not required to wear some sort of ice cleats on the boots in the winter. You can't walk onto the local mill site when conditions could be icy without cleats on your boots for the same slip hazard reason. No one is going to keep up with thawing and refreezing conditions on every walkway and sidewalk this time of year.
The plan to divide the expressway was started in the 80's with houses expropriated and demolished adjacent to the Red River Rd. intersection and underground services relocated in preparation for a cloverleaf interchange. A subsequent government stopped the work. It's been 40 years not just a decade.
It should be a careless driving charge. Keep these cross country highway trucks running through a city neighbourhood and this is to be expected. They belong on 11/17 not running on this busy street just to save 10 minutes.
LOL "boomer retirees"... what benefit could experience possibly bring..... only a mess for entitled millennials that think the world owes them something for nothing.
Eckmeijer's comment is a bit out of touch with the market in the Thunder Bay area. Snowmobiling will always "remain and sustain" here whether there are groomed OFSC trails or not with the amount of Crown land surrounding us. The benefits of groomed trail riding for those that enjoy it and area destinations for day or overnight trips and social events are what needs to be promoted to boost permit sales. If excessive use of the trails by non permit buying riders can't be enforced effectively then the game is over and users of those trails can go back to rough rides and clearing fallen trees after ice storms on their own when the maintained trails disappear. Really, permits are cheap for what you get, but many entitled idiots today think that they can take advantage of everyone around them.
