Actually, my co-worker and I were talking about the Main st. Problem as well. The towns emergency/evacuation plans call Breaux Bridge to extend all the way to Ohio Rd. As a matter of fact if you look at Google Maps, it already shows it as extending all the way. He was also saying that they are supposed to make a ramp on the west bound lane on highway 15 onto Riverside Drive to allow cars to enter Shediac or leave heading towards PEI and extend Chesley st. to highway 15 with ramps going in the opposite directions. This development would also extend Breaux Bridge and add a traffic light at the corner of Chesley and Main. Alot of this work was supposed to have started by this summer, but obviously hasn't, but hopefully it'll get done because it would make accessing and leaving the town so much easier for residents.
I agree Vorkuta, Shediac isn't just busy in the summer. When I started working out here 12 years ago there wasn't much going on in the winter, but with the recent boom in residential construction there doesn't seem to be as big of a dip in the winter. I know that there were at least 100 new residential permits issued in the past 6 months, and with the new subdivision planned across the road from Tim's, its only going to increase the number of people in the town.
