Some further elaboration on Mayor LaPierre's State of the City address.
- The province is kicking in $200k for initial planning in preparation for reconstruction work on Acadie Ave. The whole project will cost $9M, and they want to have all the planning groundwork laid before the next federal infrastructure program kicks in.
- The section of Dieppe Blvd between Champlain and Veteran's Highway is slated for major work this year and next. This is a $2.3M project, and the province is contributing at least $500k. The street will be widened and turning lanes installed. Signalization will be improved. This will certainly enhance traffic flow
but there are currently no plans to widen the overpass.
- Apparently the newly extended section of Aviation Avenue is paying big dividends for the municipality. It opened 150 acres of land for development in the air industrial park and apparently, half of this land is already sold with another 30 acres under option! Malley Industries is already operating there, with another two properties currently under construction. According to the mayor, construction on two more projects in the industrial park are "imminent". (come on
