MAIN STREET REDESIGN GAINS STEAM

“SAINT JOHN – A long-held vision to redevelop Main Street from a tired, six-lane “eyesore” to a vibrant corridor with condominiums, shops and a view of the harbour could become reality if the province adopts changes to what is now a provincially designated highway.

“Right now it’s a terrible waste of land – valuable land,” said Coun. John MacKenzie, who got Common Council’s support on the proposal earlier this year. “Land that, when you build up, could look over the harbour.

Impressions of Saint John. A quote from a Haligonian…

I just received an email from a business associate from Halifax who was in town last week. This is what he said:

“I must say I like the vibe of downtown Saint John. It seems to be more alive and there is more vibrancy and activity than in downtown Halifax. I just like the feel of it.”

It’s always nice to see things through someone else’s eyes. The hussle and bussle of the City Market always impresses! I should invite him back during cruise ship season!
