Council should just get out of the way , CarFax should make as good f deal as they can with Fahri for a big space need at the old but beautiful Westmount Mall . It May need renovation or a rebuild of some area but concentrating and insisting on our Downtown as the place to be in unwarranted . Act now before the tenant looks even further afield and London looses out completely .
And BRT Is moving forward slow as molasses in Quebec in February , but they now Splain the current LTC SERVICE is loosing riders to cars and bicycles ,
And then at least 1 councillor suggests free or reduced prices to children , elderly , factory workers , students to western and Funshawe College .
This is going to be fun to watch ; such as more empty buses rushing to White oaks with a few snoozing at the back of the bus that runs every 3 minutes
JIM , correct , we don't need 48 million dollar NEW Dundas street plan , and we dont need 11 new CITY HALL SPECIAL CONSTABLES ( 2 million dollar extra fund proposed by no other than mayor candidate du Jour mr MORGAN )
its getting to be a silly election season here in LondonBurg
Cathey is bang on , esp with the number of $125 million dollars for a "campus" as is thrown around by the current mayor .
The next council will bring this up but for this election season it will be an avoided discussion .
Watch for councillors trying to run the LTC TO SUBSIDIZE THE BUS FARES DEEPLY to get bum in seats ( I mean paying customers ) not the other bums , sorry ,
Finally a good news story on the homeless or under housed population
It seems million dollars is found without it being Mayor M funnelling more tax
cash into the homeless problem
Yet ?
Kill it now
And it's so curious that ms . Frank supports these welfare building plans .
But she follows the Morgan plan , keep a scoreboard of approved units to capture Provincial rebates . I bet they even counted the 60 sheds they brought in for the Cheese factory Rd
Homeless corral as part of the build fast deal .
The whole thing is IF YOU are looking for a move but if you are in a rental apartment , your rent isn't going down WITHOUT you making a move ,
Post Covid apartment landlords / esp the big landlords raised rents plenty
remember this place houses 45-48 people BUT employs 24 support staff , I guess most expensive nursing home do not have such a HIGH RATIO to patient support and the lucky seniors pay $3500-6000 per month ,
do the residents in the building pay something like a rent or their welfare cheques back to the system supporting them ?
Exactly , the council adjusts zoning and London Plan concepts almost everytime a developer or project come forward , like parking needs , heights and coverage on lots etc .
Respect the success and need of CarFax
Time to redo the Esa , o
It’s even 1/2 a century , the methane is gone , maybe a raised causeway would work and take pressure off Wellington and connect The south easier to the Parkwood fields and LHSC
Yes , start with a builder that's cutting corners and making birdhouse size units , developer can't afford 30G the added cost of balcony or under ground parking . squeezed on a small parcel of land
