点评:Grew up in Thunder Bay, but now live elsewhere, and have seen many changes in this area both good and bad. The good part is the development, modernization and utilization of the waterfront. The hotel and restaurants are a nice addition plus the fact that several events are staged in the area. Nice walking paths along the water for everyone to use. The addition of paid parking has angered the locals but it's no different than any other city trying to create revenue.
The bad is the horrific mess that is a homeless tent city on the east edge of park. I certainly wouldn't be that area after dark. An attempted walk through the downtown area also proved to be disconcerting. Businesses that had put out tables/chairs for customers found street people sleeping, and worse, in those spaces. Not good for locals, tourists or business owners. Not a problem isolated to T.Bay.... but something needs to be done or the downtown will disappear.
翻译:我在 Thunder Bay 长大,但现在住在别处,目睹了这个地区许多变化,有好的,也有坏的。好的方面是海滨的开发、现代化和利用。酒店和餐馆是很好的补充,此外,该地区还举办了多项活动。沿水有漂亮的步行道供所有人使用。增加付费停车场激怒了当地人,但这与其他任何试图创造收入的城市没有什么不同。
坏的方面是公园东边无家可归者的帐篷城一片混乱。天黑后我肯定不会去那个地方。试图穿过市中心也令人不安。为顾客摆放桌椅的商家发现街头流浪者在那些地方睡觉,甚至更糟。这对当地人、游客或企业主来说都不好。这不仅仅是 T.Bay 的问题……但必须采取一些措施,否则市中心就会消失。
