They could stop vehicles from turning right on the red light. It wouldn't have that much impact on traffic flow. It would probably be a major money maker for the police too since a lot of drivers in this town either ignore or don't even notice traffic signs.

Phase II of the CEISS development is breaking ground next week! Budgetary issues that delayed construction have obviously been dealt with some how. I'm not sure if anything was cut out of the original design or if some party involved came up with more money. I'm sure those details will come out with time. Anyhow, Bondfield Construction from southern Ontario is putting up the 7 storey building. Ground breaking will occur in the next week or so. The project will take 2 to 3 years to complete from what I have heard.
The former Interim Long Care Centre sandwiched in the middle of Mini Queen's Park has sold. I'm not sure who the buyer is or what the plans are for the property. The building itself is pretty aged inside and cramped from what I have heard.
According to a Northern Ontario Business article that discusses the airport, construction of the Hampton Inn hotel is supposed to "begin in spring". I guess we at least know the proposal is still alive, but not much other than that.
