New Municipal Plan For Saint John

It has been a work in progress for the past year and now City officials are ready to roll out it's plan for the future. Work on a new municipal plan is ready to get started and Deputy Commissioner of Planning Jacqueline Hamilton tells CHSJ News, with the current plan close to 40 years old, it is time to start laying out the frame-work for the next 25 years as to what the city will look like.
There is plenty of room for public consultation with several interactive style meetings. There will be a store-front shop for people to drop in as well to look at some of the idea's and give their own. It will be set up in Brunswick Square leading into the pedway. The city has hired ADI Limited and Urban Strategies to work on the plan at a cost of over $650,000 dollars. Council will have final say on the plan which it hopes to finalize by 2012.
