Civic themes once again claimed a number of spots on the list of five most read items for the week.
The most read item of the week, that of what could be the final steps towards progress on demolition of two nuisance properties in the city.
That was followed by our look at some of the concerns from the public on the volume of road closures owing to civic excavations, as well as some of the measures announced this week to address that issue.
A Thanksgiving Heat Wave and Interest in the Federal Conservative nomination also gained a large readership.
As did our look at a significant announcement this week from North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice, who outlined how the province would spend 18 million dollars towards a roundabout and investigation towards affordable housing for Second West and McBride.
The top story of the week returns us to two properties awaiting demolition in the downtown and near downtown area.
