This is being discussed tonight at
Plan 360 (which handles Shediac's planning advisory committee work):

Proposal:
To create two new streets, the extension of Bombardier Street, Union Drive, and Generation boulevard, and a future street

A request was received to subdivide the subject property, which includes new publics roads, such as an extension to the existing Bombardier Street, and a new Street tentatively called Horizon Street that will align with a future intersection connection to the new (anglophone k-12) school entrance on the west side of Ohio Road. This intersection is intended to include a future round about (traffic circle) which is why the alignment has an odd shape adjacent to Ohio Road.

The land is proposed for commercial use, so the final lot layout has not yet been completed. The plan does show a new Lot 26-1 for future development purposes, as it is isolated and separated by the creation of new public streets; however, further subdivision of that land is expected, and LFPP / cash-in-lieu will be addressed at that time.

The subdivision represents the first phase of a larger commercial development in the area, where the property is predominantly zoned General Commercial. The street will be built to municipal specifications and aligns with the long-term vision of Ohio Street as a commercial entrance to the Town of Shediac. It will also support the further development of these large lots.

This site plan was included with the documentation:
The land in question lies on the
east side of Ohio Road, somewhat to the north of the new anglophone k-12 school under construction on the west side. Horizon Blvd is intended to connect to the entrance road to the new school, and apparently, a roundabout is being considered for Ohio Road where this intersection will be built. The intent of the proposal is to create a large commercial retail park on Ohio Road with large lots for major retail development.
The lot 26-1 corresponds to the large plot of land that was cleared a couple of years back. We have previously speculated here on SSP that the land was cleared either for a Walmart or a Superstore. We still don't know who the tenant ultimately will be, but, it's commercial destiny has been confitmed.
This could be very big for the town of Shediac if it builds out as expected.
