Lauradyeralmost 3 years agoA municipal holiday that encourages employers to give a day off to the community.
Maybe a summer Friday. It could be a wellness day for the city. You could also organize promenade-like events around it to support local businesses that chose to remain open. Like a family day. Perhaps get a buy in from major employers in the city and others would follow

Before opening the Cataraqui bridge, lane upgrades are going to be required on Montreal St. Because the bridge over the railway tracks is right there, this upgrade will be more challenging but right and left turn lanes southbound and a right turn lane northbound are going to be necessary or the bridge will become a logjam. Proactively doing it now will be much better than construction jams and lane closures after the Cataraqui bridge opens and doing it then.
