Common Council Might Have Another Look at Roundabout For Simms Corner

The idea of having a rotary or roundabout at Simms Corner for traffic isn't dead in the water. 

Ward One Councillor Greg Norton wants Common Council to have another look at it now that the future of the Golden Mile will be as a retail corridor. 

The other councillor in Ward 1, Bill Farren says the West Side Business Association favours having a roundabout as a way to boost business by making the traffic flow easier. 

On the other hand, Farren says, as a whole, opinion on the west side is divided right down the middle. 

The city has been less than enthused about the prospect of a roundabout in the past.

Councillors are also being asked to approve one million dollars in renovations to the North End Community Centre.
