Council on the right track
Mayor Terry Ugulini said he and councillors met with CN Rail officials at the CN yard in Port Robinson recently.
“We raised concerns and frustrations, and possible solutions,” he reported at Tuesday night’s Council meeting.
Port Robinson residents have been plagued by trains shunting back and forth across Canby Road, blocking the road for what they consider to be unacceptable lengths of time.
According to Ugulini, as staff continues to seek solutions, a link to CN will be available soon on the city’s website (www.thorold.ca), and residents can also contact CN staff directly, by calling 1-888-888-5909, or by emailing [email protected]
Ann Street parking one-sided
Council passed Public Works and Community Services director Geoff Holman’s recommendation that on-street parking on Ann St. will be permitted on the north side only, from Queen St. to Whyte Avenue, and that the widening of Ann St. be included in the city’s 10-year capital forecast.
