Ontario releases guidelines for who can receive Paxlovid treatment for COVID-19
Why should unvaccinated adults over 60, without a medical reason for not getting vaccinated, receive this limited supply, expensive, drug?! - Luba M.
Ice globe project a ‘family creation’ for semi-retired architect
I tried a variation on this idea, by making an ice block candle holder using a windshield washer fluid bottle, with the top cut off. After one night I had a solid clear block of ice with a hollow centre, and after a short time in a garage above freezing I could take off the plastic bottle for reuse. The result looks great. - David L.
Kimberley Safety Group seeks increased OPP presence to address speeding
Does the resident that says vehicles were going 95 kMH passed her have a portable gun to check the speed? How does she know what speed they are going? - Sue B.
TBM draft budget proposes 2.68% tax increase
It is unbelievable that, with the increase in tax base due to growth, an increase is planned. It should be the opposite. They could reduce taxes by two per cent and still have increased revenue. Time to get active people. - Bruce S.
The Victoria Annex: Past, present and future (7 photos)
Just would like say that I enjoyed the article. - Michael Gertsmann
In last week's feedback story, a commenter suggested a pedestrian bridge over Highway 26 in Craigleith as a solution to traffic problems. A commenter this week has reacted to that idea:
I believe a pedestrian bridge or bridges spanning over Hwy 26 is an economical solution. It would allow vehicles to continue driving on the existing hwy at proper speeds (80 km/h) and pedestrians crossing without mortal risk. As opposed to the suggestion of creating a hwy bypass which would probably result with economical challenges for established business along Hwy 26 (including Thornbury), after much greater cost to build such. The speed limit reduction still does not address the situation of pedestrian and vehicle conflict when crossing the hwy. I hope the authorities can agree on an economical and practical solution for all involved (pedestrians/drivers/businesses/local residents). - Lou B.
