Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

November’s Transit Advisory Committee meeting will look to the future. That means looking at the budget and some of the best laid plans in the 10-year route and schedule strategy that are now delayed, and that also means looking at potential changes to a south end bus route. That’s under new business, and aside from then there’s also the usual business like the monthly update from staff and rider feedback.

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

It’s Devils Night, and this year the Devil’s business seems to involve the monthly board of directors meeting of the Guelph Public Library. Nothing particularly evil, or diabolical, is on the agenda though, just the usual business of running the local library system including budgets, the state of services and usage, plus the ongoing developments of the new library project. Plus, what issues are top of mind for library advocacy? Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Guelph Public Library Board for October 30, 2023” →

RECAP: Transit Advisory Committee Talks About Messaging

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

The agenda for this month’s Transit Advisory Committee meeting was deceptively simple, just three things on the docket, but sometimes these simple meetings lead to the most interesting conversations. On Thursday evening, TAC talked about the air filtration on buses, the need for more outreach about how transit works and where things stand on a couple of different ongoing projects (wasn’t there supposed to be new shelters at Guelph Central Station this summer?). Learn more in the recap… Continue reading “RECAP: Transit Advisory Committee Talks About Messaging” →

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

Wait a minute! Didn’t we have a Guelph Police Services Board meeting once already this month?! Well, technically, that was the slightly delayed September meeting, so this is the “real” meeting for October, and it will be a relatively brief one at that. On this agenda, there’s a couple of the usual reports, and there’s also the final passage of the operating budget for the Guelph Police until 2027 before it goes on for final, final approval at city council.

This month’s Transit Advisory Committee meeting will be a brief one it seems. There’s only three topics on the agenda along with the usual general update from transit management including the status of the fleet’s four electric buses. Mostly, it seems like this meeting will be dealing with matters of feedback, so if you have a question or concern, reach out to a TAC member near you. In the meantime, here’s the agenda… Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Transit Advisory Committee Meeting for October 19, 2023” →

RECAP: Heritage Guelph Concerned About Moving Old Farmhouse

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

The day after Thanksgiving there weren’t that many leftovers for the Heritage Guelph committee. It was mostly new business, and the biggest portion of that business was focused on the potential move of an old farmhouse on a south end property that’s ready to be redeveloped. Obviously, Heritage Guelph has some concerns, but that wasn’t the end of the discussion, which we will now cover with this meeting recap… Continue reading “RECAP: Heritage Guelph Concerned About Moving Old Farmhouse” →
