The project will start by extending Pinewood Road from where it currently ends (where it intersects with Country Club Road) and take it through the golf course lands, connecting it to Gunningsville Boulevard. It will then be developed to the north and south of Pinewood.
It would be interesting to know if this extension of Pinewood through the Moncton G&CC to Gunningsville Blvd would line up to the proposed Bridgedale Blvd which will (in the future) serve as the bypass around the eastern portion of Riverview. If so, this would make a nifty four way intersection on Gunningsville Blvd around which a retail/commercial node could develop.

Development in east Riverview has really taken off in the last five years or so, and probably accounts for the majority of the 7-8% increase in population of the town since the last census. This growth will likely accelerate with the opening of the new Gunningsville K-8 school within the next two years.

Bridgedale Blvd is to pass behind the new school. After the school opens, I would not be surprised if there was pressure to build this new street to serve as a connector as well as a bypass.
