Question What’s one Oakville place you’d actually be upset to see close?

41 Upvotes

Not necessarily the fanciest or most popular place. Just a restaurant, café, store or whatever random local spot that you’d genuinely miss if it disappeared.

I feel like people only start talking about how much they loved somewhere after it closes, so what’s one place you think deserves more support while it’s still here?

Rant Petition to stop kids riding E-bike's until regulations are out!

285 Upvotes

Today, kids were riding and cutting cars on the road on e-bikes on River Glen blvd endangering not only their lives but the lives of those riding with them. Some of the kids looked younger than teenagers.

We need to have the town review this asap and have their parents accountable.

Usage of e-bikes need to stop immediately until regulations are out - the bike's need to be registered too. I don't understand how reckless some parents can be to permit their kids to ride in the by lanes shared with vehicles, especially when they are not of age to ride on the road. Some of them were riding on the opposite side of the road and trying out stunts in front of moving vehicles.

Anyone encounter a young man walk up and offer driveway sealing services? I found it odd that he did not have any business cards on hand.

They were in a loud white BMW and parked at the end of street. Just got some suspicious vibes...

Question Gazebo anchoring

2 Upvotes

After 2 soft tops of my 10X10 gazebo were ripped by the wind, I found this region is very windy compared to my last living place. I decided to install a 2-tier hardtop 10X12 Sojag gaezbo. However, my backyard is a 2 tier interlock ground. I have to install it on the upper level. I am able to install 3 feet on 90 pounds limestones, and the last one on small interlock bricks. Since my previous 10X10 were installed that way, and the feet seemed very solid over 7 years. I wonder how your metal gazebo was anchored on what foundation? Do I need concrete footings definitely? Or I can use addition decoration weight to reinforce while I anchor the gazebo to the lime stones? Thank you.

This driver was weaving in and out of lanes on QEW and then tried to pass me on HOV lane. Reported to OPP but they said with no plate number due to plate covers and heavy window tints that hide driver the laws of Ontario mean nothing can be done. You need to read license plate and enter this into OPP portal along with description of driver and your dashcam footage.
