Better days ahead as we wait for freak ice, snow to melt

The forecast indicates better days ahead, and soon, as the City waits for the freakish ice and snow of mid-April to melt. The unheard of conditions created by potentially lethal falling ice from the CN Tower prompted police to enforce closures and traffic and pedestrian restrictions in the vicinity of Rogers Centre. Bremner Boulevard was closed Tuesday between Lower Simcoe Street and Rees Street as was the CN Tower, Steamwhistle Brewery (now reopened) Ripley’s Aquarium and the Rec room. Gates 1 to 6 at Rogers Centre were closed for Tuesday’s games.  Some of these restrictions were relaxed later Tuesday.
