Agreed.
The city of Moncton is headed in a very good direction but there is an appalling lack of coordination and discipline on the part of all levels of government preventing the city from developing a perfected form.
Examples:
1) - Casino at Magnetic Hill (not downtown)
2) - new MHS at the city limits (not centrally in the downtown)
3) - new Costco north of the TCH off Elmwood and not in the Trinity/Mapleton retail district.
4) - new 1,000 employee TD bank centre located in a semi-suburban shopping centre, and not in a downtown office building.
5) - new events centre properly located in the core
but with no real parking strategy to deal with the expected crowds.
