Steering in the right direction
From the Niagara Falls Review:
A Niagara Falls councillor wants to steer visitors in the right … or left direction.
Coun. Wayne Thomson wants the city, the Region, the Niagara Falls Bridge Commission and the Ministry of Transportation to work together to allow motorists who cross the Rainbow Bridge to be able to make left hand turns onto Falls Ave.
As it stands now, motorists leaving the bridge are forced onto Roberts St. and Highway 420.

WOLCOTT: Clinking Canadian coin cache
From the Lockport Union-Sun & Journal:
Let’s say you have 30 cents in change. There are only two coins, but one of them is not a quarter. What are the coins?
It took a bit of time for me to catch on to my great nephew’s puzzler. Now I’m wondering what to do with my Canadian coins, a quarter and a nickel.
One night this week, I walked over the Rainbow Bridge to Canada.

Bring GO to Niagara Falls, says Region
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Regional council has asked GO Transit to find a way to extend daily train service to Niagara Falls.
Metrolinx, the provincial agency in charge of GO Transit, is studying a possible expansion of the popular commuter service into Niagara.
GO is looking at four different expansion routes, including one that follows the northern peninsula CN rail line all the way to Niagara Falls.
But GO officials have said that route may require a costly bridge over — or tunnel under — the Welland Canal to avoid ship traffic. GO is also considering an option that would see the train stop in St. Catharines, with travelers boarding buses to continue to the Honeymoon Capital.
But at Thursday’s meeting, regional council approved a staff recommendation to push for train service all the way to Niagara Falls — and beyond, possibly to Fort Erie.

Final bridge approval nears
From the Niagara Falls Review:
After nearly 20 years of often acrimonious debate, final approval for a new bridge across the upper Niagara River is just around the corner.
But there are a few more steps that need to be completed.
Ron Rienas, general manager of the Buffalo and Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority, says he believes the agency will be in a position to submit a final environmental impact statement on the expansion project to U.S. regulatory authorities for approval by year’s end.
Before that happens, the same document will be submitted to the project’s partners, the Town of Fort Erie and the City of Buffalo, for their consideration.
“We’re hoping to have the (final environmental impact statement) in to the (municipalities) in September and a record of decision by the end of the year,” said Rienas.
