Love the rendering pictures, and do hope main street will look like this, or close in style.

The street rework looks good. Creating tighter passages for cars to drive through will naturally slow them down and make it a bit of a quieter street for vehicles which should, in turn, make it better for pedestrians. Shediac having a more pedestrian-friendly Main Street should go a long way towards the slow urbanization of that commuter centre.

I love this way of thinking hopefully more people "Shediac drivers" feel the same way. I Hope the power lines are being buried.

This would seem to be a golden opportunity to do this, rather than retrospectively deciding to bury the utilities in a decades time, and have to dig everything up again in order to do it..........

Well seeing, and hearing the cost in other cities. It would be less as they are already digging the area out. but for the underground power lines as I've seen it would cost whatever the price of an underground chamber that is buried below the 4 Foot frost line, and line placement along with connection boxes for every building so I'd say potentially a million or so per 20-30 foot run. That is just an estimate, and it also depends on how far (length wise) they will have the lines buried as well.
