Yes, those of us who keep up with UT (and others like Steve Munro) know (or have a very good idea of) the opening date!! :->

and wise to do so too!

This whole project, from 'planning' ( I use the word loosely) to execution has been an embarrassment - if Parks & Recreation know the meaning of the word!

You make good points but I disagree that this Library is not going to be useful. However, it was 'sold' to the TPL Board and Council, because it is going to replace the current St Lawrence Branch which will be closed. We completely agree that the new Library will NOT replace the current (small...

The temporary tent LOCATION (125 The Esplanade) was a perfectly good location for a St Lawrence Library branch , the tent itself would not be a good place - it is reaching the end of its life and is starting to disintegrate. It will (supposedly) be removed 'soon'.

There is usually lots of business at CCs in November and, though I agree that with the 'new' smaller Council, people are busy and have multiple commitments, Councillors need to look carefully at time allocation - their own and those of committees, and need to work longer hours if it is necessary...

Probably a good idea but I still cannot see why the Committee did not adjourn and reconvene today or Monday.

As the Infrastructure committee ran out of time (it was about to lose quorum) the Cycling Motion is going "Without Recommendations" to Council. Not quite sure why the committee did not return tomorrow but better it goes to Council next week - though I fear there will be lots of motions, if no...

Not uncommon to allow the bottom layer of asphalt to 'cure' for a while (particularly if they still have heavy machinery around) but the bridge ramp does seem rather slow. Is the bridge at the Forks the final one or will a Corten Steel one be slid onto the existing supports at the end of the...

Yes, good to see they can sometimes manage this!
