Niagara welcomes biker invasion
article from the Niagara Falls Review
The last time bikers invaded Niagara Falls, tensions were high between police and Hells Angels members from across Canada.

City seeks ‘practical solutions’ for GO service
from the Niagara Falls Review
By COREY LAROCQUE , REVIEW STAFF WRITER
Niagara Falls needs “practical solutions” that will allow GO Transit to extend its regular train service to the Honeymoon Capital without breaking the bank to build a new $1-billion train bridge over the Welland Canal or a new tunnel under it, Mayor Ted Salci says.
” I think it would be a huge waste of taxpayers’ dollars. I don’t know where those figures came from, but $1 billion — that’s another Skyway in my mind,” Salci said Friday after news reports that estimated it would cost that much for a bridge or tunnel so GO trains don’t have to wait for ships on the canal.
