“Dear PoPville,

A new tenant moved into the ground floor of my building who uses a wheelchair. The steps leading to the building are not handicap accessible, does anyone know if there are city grants to support access?”


“Dear PoPville,

Is this legal? The property management company for our building (we rent someone’s condo) has without warning implemented a $100 fee to use the bike storage room. The room is now controlled by fob access, and fobs won’t work until you pay the $100/bike. What’s the legality of the company just imposing a charge like this without warning? Anyone else had to deal with this?”


“Dear PoPville,

“Dear PoPville,

This makeshift landfill appeared just off Whitehaven Trail (behind the Safeway on Wisconsin Ave). Someone seems to be dumping and possibly sorting trash here. There’s no vehicle access, so they must be carrying the garbage bags down the trail — very strange! (more…)

The contractor will need a crane to get it onto the roof of a 3 story building.

Has anyone replaced their heat pump recently under similar circumstances? (more…)
