There is far too much negativity surrounding the future of our city. Everyone is all doom and gloom. If that is all you see, that is all you'll get. Instead of blaming, create ideas and develop them into workable plans. Whining about how part time low paying jobs are not going to help our town is not helpful. If everyone makes the effort those low paying jobs will get better in a hurry!

I agree that the traffic circle may be a little advanced for Kenora, given that single lane traffic on Main street and using cross-walks already seem to be beyond our abilities.

Kenora is already "pretty" on the outside-how about lets start to pay attention to the inside; homeless, property taxes, overspending. It would be nice if one project could come in on budget wouldn't it instead of always coming back to the coffers for more!

Does that mean how to save a dying town? Cause Kenora is a place for rich tourists and that's it. It's dying every day and I'm thrilled to be leaving. Good luck beating the dead horse.

Has the newly hired economic development officer at $65,000.00 come up with anything? This winter will show just how much the mill dollar will be missed! we need another industry,not painting fire hydrants and selling Thistle t-shirts!

We need to make Kenora a place people want to come to live, rather than just visit a few months out of the year.

Why is everything about downtown? ENOUGH already. The new Kenora has four central areas. (Keewatin,Norman,and J&M. However the amount of money wanted to fix the Kenora Downtown is a major issue....(The money should not be spent). There are more important issues. Besides no one even lives downtown anymore. Spread the money around and fix other areas.

Downtown is an issue because what has, or has not been happening, hurts this important "face" of Kenora. Redevelopment does not require grand government sponsored schemes, but rather a city that lets businesses do, rather than getting in the way. This town has been debating Christmas lights and parking meters for too long, it's time to get out of the way of the stakeholders downtown and make it happen

Downtown is not a priority. I don't see how they can revitalize downtown without any new businesses coming in. Bigger issues are the homeless, crime, tax rates, the list goes on and on

We need a new council with new ideas. have you looked at the revitalization plan. What a joke. A "traffic circle" at the subway. Without changing the width of the subway, you still have a pinch point where traffic backs up.
Ideas like that and the screwed up Main St traffic are reasons we need new heads with new workable ideas.
