What if Kingston…
Over the past few months we’ve watched numerous developments take shape such as bike lanes and the Montreal Street Park and Ride, while we’ve also learned of priority projects including long overdue lane extensions and the third crossing. While these initiatives are similar as they relate to how we move about the Limestone City, they’re [...]

Weekly Poll: Park and Ride
While heading out Montreal en route to cottage country this past weekend, we passed by the new, massive park and ride station, conveniently situated next to the 401. Presently, the Montreal Street/401 park and ride consists of few winding lanes, signs to direct the flow of traffic and some unfinished parking areas, all of which [...]

Weekly Poll: Prioritizing Captial Infrastructure Projects
I need you to think back to last October, during the lead up to the 2010 municipal election. At that time, candidates of all stripes were making the rounds, touting the necessity of this aquatic centre over that road expansion, and then there’s the ongoing saga to realize a third crossing over the Cataraqui River. [...]

From Market to Park-it
Take a drive by Market Square at night, or anytime for that matter, when skaters are buzzing around the artificial rink and you’ll see that Market Square has somehow become Park-it Square.

New K-Rock Centre Transpo Plan
The K-Rock Centre is one of those hot button issues that will not go away. During the facility’s first year, it operated under a sizable deficit, was unable to attract many big name performers, and the list of criticisms goes on. Although the final report card has yet to be delivered for 2009, the K-Rock [...]

What if Kingston…
We’re back in the Limestone City after a whirlwind adventure that took us west on the MacDonald-Cartier Freeway with stop overs in Ontario’s feel good town, the big smoke, the city of opportunity, as well as the city of waterfalls steel.
