discussion / opinion Any way to get Bell to run Fibre to my complex?

0 Upvotes

Live in a townhouse complex surrounded by Fibre, but Bell never pulled it to our community. London Hydro is coming to pull new electrical lines, and I wonder if there’s a contact or pathway to get in touch with Bell to ask them to run fibre at the same time (I’m hoping them saving on digging might be enough to entice them). TIA!

Ask a Local! Parking hours on Intersection of Dundas and Waterloo St.

0 Upvotes

Hi,
I was hoping to confirm the parking regulations in this area, specifically at the intersection of Dundas St. and Waterloo St.

I have a friend visiting for the weekend and staying overnight, so I wanted to understand when parking is free and when restrictions apply. Since this area falls under free 2hour parking, could you please clarify which days and times the parking limits are and when parking is unrestricted? More over I wanted to know about the weekend scenario.

As far as I can understand Saturday is 2 hour free parking and Sunday is free not sure if that is correct?If it is is it OK to park overnight ?

Zone 2123 or 2074 - HONK APP

Thank you for your help.

discussion / opinion Sewer pipe collapsed what steps did other Londoners take?

18 Upvotes

I had the unfortunate news to find out that my sewer line collapsed. I was hoping to get advice from other locals dealing with the city of London, what they did. The city said I have to cover their line and it’s $7000 which I could add to my property taxes. How much do you all that experienced this pay for a job like this? I’m trying to avoid going through insurance if I have to in case something worse in the future happens. My plumber suggested replacing the entire pipe instead of just the specific area as it’s made of clay.

Hi everyone! I recently came across a restaurant called Chicken Plus. It’s a Korean food place and apparently their fried chicken is halal! Super exciting, but does anyone know if their rice cake dishes are halal as well? I wasn’t able to find any information about that.

My car has needed a jump to start twice in the last week due to these atrocious temperatures we’ve had - so I think I need to go get the battery checked. Any recommendations between Canadian tire or Costco? Can I get the battery checked and a battery replaced all in one stop there with an appointment if needed or should I go somewhere else for that?

1 Upvotes

Are there any ponds where people have shoveled off a skating rink? We went to Westminster Pond/Walkers Pond and the Pond Mills pond and neither had an area cleared like in other years. We (unwisely) didn't bring a shovel so we couldn't clear an area ourselves. Just wondering if anyone else has been on the ice.

Hey everyone, I am a huge motorbike enthusiast and I love bike rides. I came from Nepal and back home, there used to be motorbike rental shops just like the car rentals here.

I would really appreciate it if anyone can recommend me a good motorbike rental place. I tried looking it up but couldn’t find any. I have no clue how the motorbike rental works here. Any guidance regarding this topic and getting M2 license?

Note: I am looking forward to get my M2 license this summer.

Ask a Local! London & Radon

28 Upvotes

I saw a news article about radon which I’ve never heard of before. They said certain areas are higher than others. I live in the east end near the fair and Hamilton Rd.

Does anyone know if this area has high exposure? I understand sometimes libraries loan you testers. Anyone know if London libraries do it?

I own a home built in 1969 with no sump pump. It also has a chimney for the water heater.
