Barrie Concerned Citizens Group Posts

Kind of a concern but more posting incase this belongs to someone

Kind of a concern but more posting incase this belongs to someone. This morning (probably between midnight and 5am) this bike was left on my parents front lawn, and not just next to the street but actually almost against the house. Not sure why it was left or what the person was doing in the front of the house but given the amount of people posting about car break ins around Barrie I think I can make a decent guess. Anyway it doesn't appear to belong to anyone around here so Barrie Police have come by and picked it up, so if this belongs to someone they can contact them. St.Vincent/Grove st area. Source

Curious if anyone knows if this airport on Anne St is still getting used

Curious if anyone knows if this airport on Anne St is still getting used or can be brought back to life. Or if there's anyone who maintains it and can answer some questions. Looking to park a cessna 150. Or if anyone knows of a strip close to Barrie lmk Source

What is this? Obviously a fake speed catcher… but is there meaning to it?

What is this? Obviously a fake speed catcher... but is there meaning to it? Has anyone else seen this on their street? Not sure if my neighbour's did it or the law enforcement.....but it made me laugh more than anything. Source

At least 2 months ago we alerted the city staff about a sign on our lawn

At least 2 months ago we alerted the city staff about a sign on our lawn on Innisfil Street that states "MAXIMUM 50 BEGINS". The issue with this sign is that it is in a Community Safety Zone. Fifty paces away is the intersection with Marshall Street. Marshall Street rightly has signs indicating it is a Community Safety Zone with Maximum 4O signs posted. There must be some logic behind the sign on our lawn. Sadly no one from the city staff has let us know what it is. Source

Hi there! My father went for a walk today (Saturday April 27th)

Hi there! My father went for a walk today (Saturday April 27th) My father goes for walks to clean up the litter every weekend, so he walked behind the Leacock plaza, directly behind O'Sullivan's animal hospital and found these beautiful Roller blades. Please let me know if you lost your roller blades, or if you know of someone who lost them. They are absolutely beautiful! ☺️ Source

An easy guide to the changes in garbage collection for Barrie starting May 1st

An easy guide to the changes in garbage collection for Barrie starting May 1st... 1. Do you live in one of the orange areas on the first photo? If NO: Skip to the third photo, find your area (day of the week and A or B) then see the May calendar (4th photo) to get yourself back onto the two week schedule. If YES: Find out what area you live in (1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) in the first photo. Find the corresponding numbered row on the second photo to find out how your curbside collection will work this week. At the end of the row it tells you your new collection day and A or B schedule, as well on the map (3rd photo). Then see the May calendar (4th photo) to get yourself back onto the two week schedule. I hope this helps as I've seen a lot of confusion for this upcoming week. Source
