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 – 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 […]

Thunder Bay – Waterfront Ramblings
Just some things I noticed on my recent stroll around the waterfront Interesting….chain link fence being used as barrier wall? What could possibly go wrong? As you can see, the work of making the pedestrian overpass blend in with the other buildings of Prince Arthur’s Landing is well underway. Virtually invisible. What do […]

Thunder Bay – Sitting On The Silt Fence

Why was the contractor not required to remove this after construction was complete? Nobody noticed this??? Or maybe the silt fence is part of Phase 2 […]

Thunder Bay – Public Vs Private
Can you tell which is the public part of the Water Garden Pavilion and what is the private part? Definitely appears to be a line that the public does not want to cross. I wonder why that is?

Thunder Bay – Broken Glass?
Did someone walk into the patio glass and break it? Run or ride a bicycle into the glass panel and break it? I could see how it might happen. The glass is all but invisible in daylight. I can imagine night is worse. Makes sense because it is glass after all. Glass panel was there […]

Thunder Bay – Water Garden Pavilion
Building is getting a new coat of something. Urethane? It must need it. Its been open since mid December 2011. They paint the inside annually. The outside every couple of years. Lucky taxpayers that are paying the bills.

Thunder Bay – Finally Able To Splash?
The delay was largely due to the contractor not understanding he needed to get a building permit, Schwar said. You know who does understand the need for a building permit? The City of Thunder Bay Administration. The people that hired the contractor in the first place. The people who put out the tender in the […]
