Westside Road complaint was right on the mark

DEAR EDITOR:

I read Publisher Stephanie Goodban's letter in The Daily Courier, Feb 10 (Driving Westside Road a shock), and I could not agree more.

Stephanie was insightful and determined to do something about this awful road situation that has been going on for years and years now, decades in fact.

About eight years ago I had a letter in the Courier on this matter and nothing has been done at all on this since then.

I also wrote the so-called minister of highways at that exact time and to be bluntly honest, he was just utterly useless. No reply back to me back then and am sure many others too who tried.

So I am in total favour of your new attempt here and your determination and maybe let’s do up a petition, or?

Thanks for trying Stephanie. Appreciate the effort.

TAMPA, Fla. — The Toronto Raptors will play all their home games in Tampa, Fla., this season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The NBA team said Thursday the team will complete its home schedule at Amalie Arena after initially announcing in November it would play half its home games in Tampa before making a decision on the second half of the season.

The Raptors say the decision was made because of border restrictions and public safety measures in Canada.

A schedule release for the second half of the season is expected in the coming days.

The Raptors are 6-5 in their “home” building this season, which they’re sharing with the Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning.
