Thunder Bay – Ass Backwards
Look Conrad, why don’t you just tell us what you want us to think. What you want us to say. Lets just get this public information circus over. It is obvious that the decision has already been made. What to do with the FW Gardens should have been decided BEFORE the Phase 2 Feasibility Study. […]
Thunder Bay – I Got A Rock
In my previous post on the waterfront, I mentioned some concrete pedestals that were installed. I now have after photos to go with the before. So what are they? Granite benches? Interesting. Now you have a choice of seating infrastructure. Benches made out of metal and wood and benches that are granite slabs. Is this […]
Thunder Bay – What’s Missing
I don’t know if my memory is failing me but wasn’t there supposed to be a level pedestrian crossing at Red River Road for entry into Prince Arthur’s Landing? I am pretty sure it was part of the project. It was going to be the main entry point. The link between the PAL and the […]
Thunder Bay – Send In The Clowns
Here you can see a real world demonstration of how the local media rescues the City Administration from being mauled by by an angry electorate. The pissed off bull represents the people. The rider, City Admin and the rodeo clowns represent the media. When the rider is in danger from the people who have […]
Thunder Bay – Don’t Know the Meaning of the Word
I still do not understand the hypocrisy here. Back in December 2008, McGuinty admitted the MPAC assessments were out of date, but left it up to each municipality to decide whether to use the inflated assessments or not. Of course, our council/administration chose to use the MPAC supplied numbers even though they may have been out […]
Thunder Bay – The Life Of A Pedestrian
The Environment Department leaves its mark. These type of drop off situations exist all over the city. Very dangerous for someone walking. This is also a very dangerous situation especially for a recreation trail. You are either on the sidewalk or in the rocks. Those rocks have sharp edges. It would be […]
Thunder Bay – Monitoring Wells
The other day, I was early for my bus so I was wandering around the water Street bus terminal. I noticed these things. Some drill holes. Old drill holes. Then I walked around the parking lot next to the hydro substation and found this. A monitoring well. I then took a […]
Thunder Bay – Lies, Damn Lies, Statistics and Feasibility Studies
I have to believe that the City of Thunder Bay wants to eventually use the Innova Business Park for something. I heard as a possible mining hub whatever that is. I assume it will be the location for all sorts of offices and shops of companies dealing with all the mining operations that may be […]
Thunder Bay – The Truth Is Out There
Got the above from the MoneySense list of Canada’s 200 Best Places To Live covered in the previous blog post. Thunder Bay did beat out a few cities on that list. One of them looks familiar. Abbotsford BC came in at 174 out of 200. I guess their big expensive Abbotsford Sports and Entertainment Centre […]
Thunder Bay – Spin Spin Spin
Just how much does the City of Thunder Bay care about the active transportation sector of the community? Bikes on the sidewalk? Its OK with the City of Thunder Bay because they have done nothing to discourage the habit. Its a by-law that never gets enforced…ever. So what is the point of bike lanes? Who knows? […]
