Sinkhole reroutes Games torch run
A 45,000-kilometre cross-Canada run with a lit torch is bound to hit a few potholes — but none likely larger than the sinkhole that was waiting for the Olympic flame on its second day in Calgary.
When the Vancouver 2010 committee released the torch route through the city this week, one eagle-eyed Crescent Heights resident noticed that on Jan. 19, the torch was to be run down 1st Street N.E., a scenic road that’s been closed for seven weeks due to a sinkhole.
