[Saint John] Transportation and Infrastructure

Thought we could use a dedicated thread for news, updates and discussion pertaining to transportation (all modes) and infrastructure (in the broad sense) in the greater Saint John area. I can think of a few projects on the go or in the planning stages that would be good to follow (see below), and I know a few of you out there are always game to talk public transit and transportation issues in general. I'm proposing this thread as a home for all of the above, to separate this chatter from the main development thread.

Some transportation and infrastructure projects of note:

MoveSJ Transportation Plan - Phase 2 wrapped up late last year, with a third phase to be started this year.

Ashburn Lake Road Interchange - announced almost a year ago with a construction start slated for 2021.

Port Modernization Project - 7 year, $205 million expansion of the West Side terminal.

Safe Clean Drinking Water Project - currently in its final stages.

And what infrastructure list would be complete without invoking the spectre of the Energy East Pipeline?

Did I miss anything? Got anything to say about any of the above? Have at 'er!
