I wonder what the chances are of actually seeing the 10 storey anchor condo project being developed?

The village on Dieppe blvd is a nice concept and all and I wish them well, but I wouldn't want this area to develop at the expense of both Moncton's and Dieppe's downtowns.
It's the best kind of sprawl we could hope for, but it's still sprawl. With both cities' cores being physically so close to each other, there is so much potential for synergy. I hope to one day see both downtowns merge into a single urban core for the whole metro area. Still a long way to go but it is possible and we're
very slowly headed in that direction.
