Thunder Bay's Mayor Keith Hobbs is vowing to turn the McIntyre area's "black path" into a safe path. Councillors asked a variety of questions to the 17 year old who started the petition to get the walkway lit and monitored by video cameras. Hobbs feels community policing would help make the pathway safer. Councillor Andrew Foulds says lighting makes residents feel more confident and safe. Administration will be providing a costing report to council on February 9th.
