But even Poilievre didn’t say much about Canada’s exploding violent youth crime woes

The popular Le Fantome food hall in Riverdale Park has closed
“This space has been so much more than just a place to eat — it’s been a home for creativity, community, and countless shared memories,” Le Fantome staff wrote on Instagram
“We’re incredibly grateful to every guest
and vendor who made Le Fantome what it was
The food halls are a crucial part of this ecosystem
giving budding restaurateurs a lower-stakes place to try out their concepts and build an audience that’s a step between a food truck and a sit-down restaurant
Named after the French word for “ghost,” the 8,500-square-foot food hall and ghost kitchen facility was also a draw for the Station at Riverdale Park.
Help the Hyattsville Wire find the best places for “date night” on the Route 1 corridor. Share your favorites here.
Article doesn’t state why it closed – anyone know
The space was amazing with incredible staff but I’m guessing elevated rents and oftentimes what seemed like a lack of focus on selection (price points higher than neighboring competition) made for an unsustainable business
I hope the owners continue to perfect this model
I sent in five emails over the last year re: prices and the need for a competitive brunch
Rumors closing the food hall was a result of a decision First Washington Realty has made
They recently bought the shopping center back in March

Investigators described the incident as “no random attack.”

Investigators believe the two young men had been “lured” to the area by their killers
though the circumstances of what persuaded them is still unclear

The Riverdale Regional Park Improvements Phase One includes the Brantner Gulch Improvements
and midway projects will all take place simultaneously with the Brantner Gulch improvements beginning in December 2024
The anticipated completion of the midway will be by the end of July 2025
with the completion of the outdoor arena and barns by beginning of 2026
Construction within Riverdale Regional Park will affect the flow of traffic into and out of the park
and a temporary entrance is in place through the Museum parking lot off Henderson Rd./124th Ave
Please see the map below for entry and exit directions
The Riverdale Regional Park Improvements will create areas of closure within the park as crews work on these improvements
The map below details the areas currently under construction and closed to the public within the Midway area of the park
The Brantner Gulch Project is a collaborative partnership with the Mile High Flood District to design and construct stream restoration and flood control improvements in the Riverdale Regional Park in order to address the Brantner Gulch capacity issues and reduce flood risk
The stormwater flows from this highly developed watershed cause damage to infrastructure and send overflows into nearby storage lakes
This project will construct a new gulch to protect people and property against flooding
enhance the stormwater quality within the stream
and will change the floodplain map effectively taking the fairgrounds out of the floodplain
It will also provide an opportunity to beautify the park further
and create more spaces for enjoying nature
These improvements will establish a foundation for future progress of the park
create a secondary egress for emergency vehicles
expand Park Boulevard for more efficient traffic flows
and allow the Park and its facilities to be used for emergency sheltering
It is slated to begin in November 2024 and continue in phases to accommodate operations and events with an anticipated completion in mid-2026
The Riverdale Regional Park is in need of infrastructure improvements to maintain existing facilities and usage and to prepare for future expansion and the increase in visitor usage
The project will entail upgraded electrical
The new Midway will be large enough for the entire current Fair layout
It will create a drop-off area in close proximity to events with a circular two-lane drive and direct bus access
The new barns will create an “Ag land” atmosphere and support the Grand Stands
and other agricultural and livestock events within the Park
open air arena with a dirt floor to support equestrian
Plans include an approximately 4,000 seat arena that will have the flexibility to host many different kinds of events at Riverdale Regional Park. Learn more here

RIVERDALE — Keen-eyed residents and commuters traveling along Riverdale’s commercial corridor in recent days may have noticed that work has begun on the building that houses Ashley Furniture on the old Shopko lot at 4060 S
That’s the same location that Riverdale Mayor Braden Mitchell announced in December 2024 as the future site of a new Trader Joe’s store
The recent flurry of activity there undoubtedly serves to ease the fears of people who have speculated on the status of the project via social media
with some going so far as to contact the city and/or Trader Joe’s directly
‘I’m going to get to the bottom of this,'” Mitchell told the Standard-Examiner on Wednesday
While Trader Joe’s has not yet made an official announcement regarding a Riverdale location
representatives from the company have been in communication with the city and participated in city meetings
who also noted that a lease has been signed and a permit to sell beer was also awarded recently
Mitchell did not offer a definitive date for an announcement from Trader Joe’s or a ribbon-cutting at the store but mentioned late fall or winter as a possible window for its opening
the eventual arrival of a Trader Joe’s in Riverdale will be the culmination of a years-long effort by the city and many residents to lure the grocery chain
as far as sending packets of information to Trader Joe’s about Riverdale and the benefits of locating in Riverdale,” Mitchell said
and we are very experienced with getting them in quickly.”
which involved residents officially requesting a store via a submission form on the Trader Joe’s website
and the process of readying the building is finally underway
“They have come in and pulled some permits to start working on the shell and
Fencing has gone up along the front and they’ve started to remove asphalt off the front portion of the building for the parking lot as they prepare,” Mitchell said
“I will be especially relieved when they cut the hole in the front of the building
what’s going to really calm everybody down and finally make people realize that it’s real.”
he’s excited about the potential economic impact the store could have in his city; Trader Joe’s reportedly outpaces competitors like Walmart and Whole Foods in sales per square foot by a significant margin
Riverdale’s Trader Joe’s will be the chain’s sixth location in the Beehive State and the first of its kind north of downtown Salt Lake City

It’s no secret that Trader Joe’s tries to keep new locations hush-hush
the company has taken at least one step toward actually opening a Riverdale store — and it took place during a public meeting
On Thursday, the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services approved an off-premise beer retailer license for Trader Joe’s in Riverdale, just outside of Ogden. The grocery store was included in a list of new applicants
all of which were approved by members of the DABS Commission during its monthly meeting
sent a statement to Building Salt Lake saying
“We are actively looking at hundreds of neighborhoods across the country
as we hope to open more new neighborhood stores each year
While we have plans to open a store in the area
we do not have a location or timeline to confirm.”
“We currently have plans for a store in the area
Before its location in Sugar House opened, Building Salt Lake reported that spilling the beans early on a Trader Joe’s location could land a developer or landlord a $250,000 fine from the company
That didn’t stop Riverdale Mayor Braden Mitchell from announcing in December that a store was coming to town
going so far as unwrapping a Trader Joe’s sign shortly before Christmas
Since then, the company has released carefully worded statements about the prospective location in Weber County. Rohde told ABC4 earlier this month
we do not have a location confirmed in Riverdale.”
It’s not immediately clear when the new Trader Joe’s location could open in Riverdale — or be officially announced by Trader Joe’s corporate. Mitchell said during his December announcement that the store could open sometime this summer
According to DABS code
an off-premise beer retailer license allows a business to sell beer that is under 5% alcohol by volume
though beer can not be consumed at the business
Other Trader Joe’s locations around Utah — of which there are five — also sell beer

Utah (KUTV) — The family of the victim of the deadly car crash in Riverdale on Valentine's Day is mourning his loss
Mark Packer was driving Friday morning when his car lost control and hit the back of a box truck that pulled off the road
Officials with the Department of Public Safety said the driver of the box truck came to a stop in the area between I-15 and I-84 in Riverdale because a warning light told them to turn off the engine
DPS officials said the roads were slick and slushy at the time
said no matter what was going on in his life
She said she talked to him the day before he died
and he wanted to take the kids to see "Captain America" Saturday
Davis got a call from Packer's sister-in-law
'I have something for the kids,’” Davis said
Mark Packer and Davis's kids are a 12-year-old girl and a 6-year-old boy
She didn't think much of the call until she got a notification of a crash that made her heart sink
'Mark was in an accident.' And I said
"I called my husband and told him the kids' daddy is gone
And it was so hard to even wrap our minds around it."
His dad is definitely struggling a lot,” Samantha said
Davis and Mark haven't been together since 2019
but she said he always worked hard to be there for his kids
"One thing he always made a priority was being there for his kids,” Davis said
She said that's what makes the situation even harder
"I think my youngest doesn't fully grasp it
But my daughter was a huge daddy's girl and she's devastated
I don't know how she's going to go through life without her dad,” Davis said
They had plans this week to take their son to the dentist and register their daughter for school
Davis said even the mundane tasks have become difficult
Weber County — Officials have identified the woman who was killed earlier this week just hours before an Amber Alert was issued for her children
Firefighters responded to a trailer home fire at Riverdale Manufactured Home Community
on Monday afternoon and located Mayra Catalan-Dimas
After being taken out of the smoke-filled trailer
police found severe burn marks on her and located a puncture wound on her neck
"It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we share the tragic loss of our beloved daughter, sister, mother, and friend," a fundraiser* for Catalan-Dimas says

Trujillo, 29, is accused of aggravated murder and aggravated arson
Trujillo was sentenced to 180 days in prison in 2021 for an assault conviction related to choking and punching Catalan-Dimas
Trujillo was arrested for investigation of possession of a controlled substance

Utah (KUTV) — A fatal crash forced the closure of an exit ramp on southbound I-15 in Riverdale Friday morning
Cameron Roden said one person was killed when a Mini Cooper lost control and collided with the back of a broken-down box truck in the area between the roadway and the off-ramp to I-84 at milepost 340 around 6 a.m

OGDEN — Members of the Weber Human Services board faced the backlash of senior citizens Friday morning after announcing their decision earlier in the week to concentrate senior center funding on four county facilities
coupled with shrinking revenue from sales tax in Riverdale
"It's really hard to understand," she told KSL.com
"Our senior center does three times the services that any of the other centers in our county do
Many of those upset seniors showed up at the Weber Human Services board meeting Friday morning in Ogden to voice their concern about the decision
though there was nothing on the agenda that would prompt further action
the community that frequents Riverdale's senior center
coming from all over Weber and Davis County
filled rows of desks fanning out radially from a table in the middle
A crowd of seniors showed up to the Weber Human Services board meeting Friday to voice concerns over funding cuts to Riverdale Senior Center
Senior centers are one of many aging services funded by federal dollars from the Older Americans Act
according to Weber County Commissioner Jim Harvey
That money is matched at the state level and distributed to counties based on the percentage of seniors
with Weber County exceeding the required match already
That money goes to Weber Human Services to pay for the senior services they offer
The Older Americans Act money has seen slight increases over the last two decades
canceled out by the shifting state distribution
has not grown as fast as other parts of the state
so Weber Human Services receives a shrinking percentage of those federal funds
In July, the Weber Human Services board gave Riverdale Senior Center one year of funding, or $59,000, that extends to the end of June while they considered options of closing down facilities and concentrating funds
Weber Human Services CEO Kevin Eastman told KSL.com
the board received the advice of the Weber-Morgan Council on Aging they "consider not stretching the limited funds to more than four senior centers." In November
Specific centers to receive the funding were not announced until Wednesday
We're the building that can serve the most seniors in Weber County

Why are we the first one on the chopping block?"

That portion is decreasing from 75% to 50% by 2030
"We are not a Riverdale center anymore
why is it their obligation to fund a countywide facility?"
the Riverdale facility has been working with the Weber Human Services board for the last year
"We were the city that met your criteria ..
That's what we were told the other day is why we are not being chosen."

"Riverdale has always done their own thing," Eastman says
"We funded them for a year because we wanted them to be included" in the decision process
Robert Hunter and Kevin Eastman listen to public comment during a Webe Human Services board meeting Friday

"You guys keep saying Riverdale has been funding this forever," he said

the center is still in talks with Riverdale City on potential alternative funding opportunities
After decades as an active excavation site
the Riverdale Quarry is being cleared for redevelopment
and machinery has been removed from the 127-acre site
south of Hamburg Turnpike and west of Interstate 287
the site is finally getting ready for its next life
borough officials adopted a revised redevelopment plan for the site in spring 2024

developed with input from the town's Quarry Redevelopment Committee and property owners
allows for a mix of industrial and commercial uses

or workshop-style spaces designed for small-scale production and prototyping
The plan allows uses to be combined within a single building
Town officials identified the uses in an effort to create jobs near residential areas
capitalize on the site's access to Interstate 287 and restore lost tax revenue
The redevelopment plan calls the site an "ideal employment location," as it is largely hidden from local neighborhoods
the redevelopment plan outlines several permitted accessory uses
currently Bernardsville-based Riverdale Quarry LLC
will ultimately bring a developer forward to negotiate with the borough
The resulting developer’s agreement should set more specific requirements for any project
assessed at more than $24 million for tax purposes in 2025
The site was once well known for its Pompton Pink Granite

Mitchell said the store will be located directly next to an Ashley Furniture store in what used to be a Shopko
He expects the store to open sometime in the summer of 2025.
The new Trader Joe’s location will be its sixth in Utah and the first location north of Salt Lake City

"You couldn’t walk through here for about up until 10 years ago," he said
noting that he had just discovered the closure as he was walking down the street
A large chunk of the roadway is currently being removed by road crews
The pothole that caused the damage is located where the concrete is crumbling
UDOT Bridge Management Engineer Becky Nix explained that potholes like these form due to the freeze-thaw cycles and the salt used to treat roads during the winter

all public bridges in Utah are inspected every two years
but this particular bridge has been monitored more frequently due to its condition
there won’t be any safety concerns," she said
noting that UDOT immediately closed the affected lane upon discovering the pothole
Though the current pothole repair work is expected to be finished by Friday
the bridge is also slated for a full replacement project
which is set to begin in the spring of 2025
"This bridge is in design for replacement right now
so it is one that we are actively looking at for a larger project."
while the detours may cause a slight delay
he doesn't mind as long as the roads are kept in good condition
"It just makes the trip a little longer
"They at least keep the roads nicer here."
As crews continue their work on the bridge
drivers are advised to expect some detours in the area

VideoTeen charged with murder in Riverdale double shootingThe accused cannot be named under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
The family of a 5-year-old boy, who was one of two children struck and killed by a van while walking to school in Riverdale, Maryland, last year, has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit
The 22-page suit seeks up to $58 million in punitive and compensatory damages
The suit was filed on behalf of Sky Sosa’s mother
against Prince George’s County Fire & EMS
the Prince George’s County Board of Education and two private individuals
It cites “systemic failures” as a significant contributor to Sosa’s death
Sosa and 10-year-old Shalom Mbah were walking in a crosswalk at an intersection near Riverdale Elementary School with Sky’s father
The children were both taken to the hospital
was also hit but sustained non-life-threatening injuries
“We’re trying to get some justice for Sky’s family and for Sky’s death,” said Christian Hudson
a partner at the law firm of Cuneo Gilbert & LaDuca
was making a left turn when she hit the children
In June of this year, she was indicted on charges of criminally negligent manslaughter and causing serious physical injury and/or death of a vulnerable individual while operating a motor vehicle
The complaint asserts that “at least 83 vacant crossings needing a guard had been left vacant by the Prince George’s County Police Department
which hadn’t even scheduled interviews to fill those slots until December 2023.”
Hudson told WTOP that the Prince George’s County Board of Education was aware the lack of crossing guards was a dangerous situation and allowed the tragedy to occur
The suit also accuses the county itself of failures in emergency response procedures and traffic safety
claiming it took the Prince George’s County Fire and Medical Services Department roughly half an hour to arrive on the scene
“We also want to make sure that the county does not allow a situation like this to happen again,” Hudson said
also filed suit against Prince George’s County
WTOP reached to the Prince George’s County Executive Office which had no comment
