This past week being a City Council session week, a number of themes from the final public session for January on Monday evening made for list of the five most read items for the week.
Housing and the dire situation facing many that are looking for the affordable version of it made for a number of themes on the week.
With one item of note from the last seven days, that of a call by the City for Expressions of interest towards two non-market housing proposals.
How the city handled the recent snow fall provided for a few comments from the Council session.
Also finding a strong level of interest was our look at CityWest and the lack to this point of an announcement towards the annual Distribution payment to the City of Prince Rupert.
Some remediation work on the city's east side captured som attention from readers as we offered an update on the work to rebuild the 11th Avenue sidewalk area at Conrad, that after the slope underneath it had given way last week.
To wrap up our list of five on the week, our notes related to current and future hiring plans for the City also was also a much reviewed piece over the last week.
From the weeks review the most read of our pieces, was that which noted of a civic initiative that could help reduce some of the stresses towards affordable housing.
