Thunder Bay – Park Wherever You Want
Latest park-wherever-you-want at Prince Arthur’s Landing. As you can see these two vehicles are parked at the foot of the walkway that leads to the pedestrian overpass. These two parked vehicles block the view of this intersection for southbound vehicles (left to right in photos) and, to a lesser extent, northbound vehicles (right to left […]
Thunder Bay – Art And The Periodic Table
cont’d from previous post Depending on the nature of uses for outdoor areas associated with the Gallery, some mitigating measures such as soil capping may be required. These measures will have a minimal impact on the cost of site development and construction of the Gallery’s facilities. I wonder what Brook McIlroy and the Waterfront Development Office consider minimal cost […]
Thunder Bay – Due Diligence
As part of an Environmental Assessment undertaken for the City of Thunder Bay pertaining to the Marina Park/Pool 6 Lands, a land based soils review was undertaken which reveals some pockets of metal contaminants in the vicinity of the Art Gallery site Not a completed an approved Environmental Assessment Study. I can’t find any evidence […]
Thunder Bay – So Move To Sudbury Or Sault Ste Marie Then….And Take Greg Alexander With You
Kovisto said workers are seeking wages that would put them on par with bus drivers in both Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie, though couldn’t say how much of a percentage increase they’re looking at. The last time I checked, Thunder Bay Transit operates in the City of Thunder Bay. Not Sault Ste. Marie. Not Sudbury. […]
Thunder Bay – What Are You Afraid Of?
Apparently, if you want a copy of the agreement between the City of Thunder Bay and the waterfront restaurant, you have to file a Freedom of Information request. Then, you need to get the owners of the restaurant to agree to make that agreement public. Why would it be a secret? What is in there […]
Thunder Bay – What Do We Want?…Lets Ask Boychuk
What the city has said is that the Gardens is nearing the end of its life as a spectator facility. There may be many ongoing and future uses for it by taking out the 3,371 seats. A massive room unobstructed by floor columns poses any number of possibilities. I do not understand what the difference […]
Thunder Bay – Systematic Problem
The operating budget will see an increase of $1.2 million, with the majority of that increase due to a negotiated 3.1 per cent wage increase. “This is the second year in a row I’ve come to the board with no increases in material accounts at all,” Thunder Bay Police Service chief J.P. Levesque. “At […]
Thunder Bay – Public Access
I’m not necessarily endorsing spending $25 million on a new Thunder Bay Art Gallery. What I am saying is that Prince Arthur’s Landing is the last place in the city that any publicly funded piece of infrastructure should be located. Why? Its all about public transit access. People without a car should not be required […]
Thunder Bay – Park Wherever You Want
Once again, parking at Prince Arthur’s Landing seems to be completely unregulated. As you can see, vehicles approaching from the south end of the park have this area significantly blocked. This is where people entering from the pedestrian overpass cross over to the Water Garden Pavilion. People also cross from the water Garden Pavilion to […]
Thunder Bay – Its Always About The Money
So…go to Prince Arthur’s Landing or your shit out of luck. If this does not force people to use the failed waterfront development, I believe neighbourhood rinks will begin to close. The City of Thunder Bay Administration/City Council will do anything, say anything and spend any amount of money to prove they were right to […]
