An incident that shut down a good portion of the downtown area this week was the top item of note on our review of the last seven days, as we outlined some notes on the efforts of the RCMP at the Canada Safeway location on 2nd Avenue West.
Among the other items of note on the week, the City's release of its environmental study into issues related to Lot 444 found an interested audience, as did our review of the percolating controversy over plans to renovate the Alaska Ferry Terminal at Fairview.
Also finding interest this week were the plans to stop for now expansion plans at Ridley Terminals and how the City of Prince Rupert may find a possible solution for local housing concerns through discussions with the proponents of a large scale work camp on Wantage Road.
But by far, the story that had everyone in the city talking, was the mysterious Wednesday afternoon shut down by the RCMP of the area surrounding the Canada Safeway store, an event which lasted into the early hours of Thursday morning, that incident is where we will begin this week's review.
