Your City Hall news is a little dammed up

Your City Hall news has been a little dammed up

Here's the thing about Peterborough, the flow of information, much like the Otonabee itself, can sometimes get a little backed up. This past week, we've been watching the waters at City Hall, and it's been a mix of choppiness and calm.

We started the week feeling the approach of something new, a bit of that dammed-up anticipation. Then, there was a period where the currents of civic life felt turbulent, almost like a spring melt.

The big takeaway from the past few days, with the open data portal being a bit quiet, is how much we rely on that steady flow. It's a reminder that:

* Information helps us navigate the city's currents. * Even when quiet, the waters beneath still shape things. * Budget season is always the biggest current we watch.

We're looking forward to those waters clearing and the civic data flowing freely once more. This is the Electric City — small town, big current. Let's go.
