Blog Watching: Week ending April 9, 2023

Some roadside vehicle rampaging made for our most read story of the week, that after we took note of the landscape of the area of Hays Cove at Conrad, along Eight West after an early AM vehicle incident., which left some significant damage to a stretch along the roadway.

The remainder of our list of five featured interest in our notes on some property work taking place on Portage Avenue at two former locations for the former GM Dealerships in the city.

Television viewers and internet users were off line for a period of Monday evening, with CityWest later advising that a damaged fibre repair made for the service interruption.
 
A chance for the public to have a say in what a re-envisioned Mariner's Memorial Park might look like comes up later this month, with some strong interest found from our notes on the community engagement plans.

From the weeks review the most read of our items however was that which looked at some early morning motorized mayhem on the city's east side.
