Work got to get done, now now be positive

Why can’t the City do a better job planning road construction and managing traffic?

Work got to get done, now now be positive.

But can’t the City coordinate when road work is being done so that all routes across Corner Brook stream aren’t constricted at the same time?

Work got to get done, now now be positive.

But did they really have to prune trees on Mount Bernard on the same day Marine Contractors paved in front of the Sir Richard Squires Building?

Work got to get done, now now be positive.

But did they really have to paint the lines on the O’Connell/Mount Bernard intersection at the same time that they tore up Main Street?

Corner Brook Transit Map

Have you tried to find a decent transit map for Corner Brook? I found it here on the City web site.

Yikes! Not very web friendly AND it’s protected so you can’t print it?!?

Well, here at CornerBrooker.com, we’re what you call “can-do” kinda people. Check out our Google Map version of the Corner Brook transit map. Click, zoom, drag. Check the simplified schedule (and forget that Route 5 and 6 BS).

Of course, the information is transcribed from that map on the city site, so there may be errors. Email me if you see errors.

The 411 on our 404s

You may have noticed CornerBrooker.com acting a little wonky over the last few hours. Sometimes websites just misbehave for no good reason. That’s how they roll.

So, after…

  • bug hunting
  • reinstall
  • wipe
  • reinstall again
  • change hosting company
  • reinstall again
  • DNS change
  • fix new bugs

…we’re back. If you notice something out of place, feel free to email me and let me know the problem.
