Page 55+ has the bulk of the information about the project we have completed phase 1, with improvements being made to the rail way crossings for better access to the water... also it includes moving the rest of the Pool 6 rubble from the site and and getting designs drawn up for the condos/stores ect... we also have plans for a hotel to start construction next year which will be 5-6 storys and condos will also be around that height... Thunder Bay has finally started this plan... it only took 20 years  |

The Marriott Hotel will be 4 floors. If it goes past four floors the city will 'take action' 
I also read somewhere they they want to relocated Water Street Bus Terminal, and put condos there.
Lets hope the next city council does something other than sit on their fat asses.  |

This is a new plan, it looks interesting. Though the buildings have all been scaled back to 4 storeys due to 'complaints'.
