I see in a press release by the city that South Market St is going to be permanently closed for the next little while well demolition is done on something.

Anyone have any insight as to what they are doing?

I believe they are working on the Bayview Credit Union building.

Newsletter for The Telegraph from Develop Saint John

Quote:
The Telegraph will hit another significant milestone this week as the first crane is moved off-site and a new, larger crane takes its place.

It is anticipated that this new crane will be moved into place this coming Friday and Saturday, and will be positioned on Canterbury Street, still allowing for the slow flow of traffic on this street.

This larger crane will remain in place on Canterbury Street for the next 8-10 weeks.

Nice to see some substantial construction activity in the uptown.

A good year to do it too with no cruise ship passengers lurking about.

On Lower Cove Loop it looks like either prep work or excavation has started for The Atlantic apartment building. Maybe we’ll soon have 3 (or 4 cranes with The Wellington) soon.

Early indications definitely suggest that... It would appear this project is really picking up steam. Today the city was improving the underground infrastructure and moving a power line pole.

How many floors is this building supposed to be? Is there a rendition of what it's supposed to look like. I looked around on this sight a bit but didn't see it. Hope it's not right under my nose

Renderings for a new 29 unit apartment building on Lower Cove Loop have been released for next week's PAC Meeting. The building is 6 stories high, with both above and underground parking.

I noticed this building has filled up tenants even though it’s kind of off the grid with the rest of businesses uptown.

Reposting the City's proposals for summer pedestrian streets here:

Quote:
Originally Posted by Fischbob View Post
So Saint John has unveiled it's own street "opening" scheme (they've chosen to frame it as opening the streets to alternate uses rather than just closing them to vehicles). The proposal is to have weekend street closures that rotate between 3 different sets of Uptown streets from July through September. See map below, from the staff presentation in Monday's Council agenda:



The street rotation will be as follows:

A - Canterbury from King to Princess; Grannan from Rogue Alley to Prince William
B - Prince William from Duke to Grannan; Princess from Canterbury to Water
C - Germain from Princess to Grannan; Grannan from Germain to Rogue Alley

The City has also proposed the permanent closure of South Market Street to vehicle traffic, creating a fully pedestrianized street adjacent to the City Market.

In addition to the above, there are proposals to:

-Add several 15-minute on-street parking spaces for pick-up/drop-off purposes (the blue car markers on the map above). The idea is not only to facilitate access to the rotating pedestrian streets when they're up and running but also to help Uptown businesses conduct curbside pick-up services and the like, and
- Create a more streamlined community street closure application process that will cut down on the lead time required for community groups to request a street closure for their event.

I think this is a good approach to testing the waters for pedestrianized streets in the Uptown. The rotating nature of street openings allows for the City and businesses to experiment with what works and where it might work, as well as backtrack if things don't work out as expected. Limiting them to Friday evening through Sunday morning allows businesses who prefer the status quo to not be perpetually cut off. And South Market Street makes perfect sense to pedestrianize on a permanent basis since it opens up a lot of possibilities for the Market to have a greater outdoor presence.
