Highway 1 to Maine is easily the most overengineered highway in Canada. I once drove the entire stretch from Saint John to the border without seeing a single car in either direction after leaving the St John metro. And it’s an hour long drive.
Saint John has a lot of potential, the problem is that all the city’s investment for decades was sucked out of the city to Rothesay and Quispamsis. My extended family included haha. That seems to be reversing a bit now though with properties downtown starting to get renovated.
It’s a small city at the end of the day too. There’s only so much that can be done in metros of 120,000.
