Transit Open House

I went to the Transit Open House at City Hall last evening (Thursday), where I discussed some issues with Mr. Edward Soldo, Manager of Operations and Compliance, Environmental Services.

I was very disappointed that a certain councilor, and other City staff, were so loud and obnoxious that Mr. Soldo, myself, and another transit rider, had to go out into the hall, just so that we could hear each other talk.

I left the meeting feeling positive about the future of St. Thomas Transit, although the painfully slow, bureaucratic process is very frustrating.

First Ave. Railway Bridge



I took this video this evening of the First Ave. Railway Bridge, or the last parts of it, coming down.

The rails that brought prosperity to St. Thomas are gone, with not much of a trace of that prosperity remaining these days.
