Thunder Bay – The Pumps
Oh Danny boy, the pumps, the pumps are running…….. The pumps have been running in this corner for quite a while. I know the water makes no difference in the big construction picture. Piles driven to firm bottom and all. I find it interesting though. All this money being spent and you have these small […]
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 – Waterfront Condos
The first of two condos being sold by Resolve Group went up for sale last month with the majority of the 51 units being taken within the first week. Nearly a month later, 10 units remain and now the developer intends to push plans for construction of the second condominium sooner than originally planned. – […]
Thunder Bay – And This Is Just The Underground Garage
I can’t imagine what the view is going to be once the building(s) are complete. I believe a lot of people will be surprised. Not the good kind of surprised.
Thunder Bay – The Hole Today
Looks like whatever they were doing is almost done. I guess the next thing is the developer starting work next spring? A bit of erosion. No curb here though. Erosion problems a year or two ago caused this section of curb and gutter to slide towards the hole. It was not replaced. Not sure if […]
Thunder Bay – COIPus Interruptus
With media headlines all pointing to the City Council meeting on Monday where a decision is going to made on the Event Centre, you have to wonder what’s the big deal? I am of the belief that this decision has already been made. In fact, it was made as far back as a year, maybe […]
Thunder Bay – The Hole Today
As I said before, it looks to me that the work that is being done at the waterfront pit is being done by the City of Thunder Bay. Paid for by our hard earned tax dollars. I also believe that the City of Thunder Bay and the developers agreed to not release any details about […]
Thunder Bay – The Hole Today
So why did it go from empty to full in one day? Well, I believe I have a good idea. Below is a photo from Nov. 15 showing the water being pumped into north end of the excavation. The water then drains out the bottom right of the photo. Through the rock fill. On Nov […]
Thunder Bay – Ahh yes, I remember it well
What a difference a day makes. I am not sure if this was supposed to happen. I’m thinking not. Maybe. Who knows? I’m sure if you ask the contractor, they will say it was a planned flooding. Everything’s under control. Nothing to see here. Move along everyone. Once it freezes, it will make a great second skating […]
