Te city is also considering either temporarily or permanently closing Gauvin between Acadie and Marche St to make it pedestrian only. This is a pretty good idea IMO. It's already a right turn only street anyway that is sparingly used, and closing it would open it up to more events etc in back of the city hall which are becoming bigger and more frequent. |
1) -
Roundabout at Champlain/Acadie - My God, what are they thinking!!!
2) -
Pedestrianizing Gauvin between Acadie & Marche - Good idea actually. This street gets little through traffic, and closing it to vehicles would open up a large civic space between Plaza 1604, city hall and the Dieppe Market. They would just have to leave a lane of (mixed roadway) traffic available to access the parking garage for the Wingate Hotel, and perhaps for local deliveries.
3) - The plan also mentioned maximizing trails and bicycling paths along the downtown riverfront in Dieppe, perhaps putting in more monuments and public spaces along the river. This is also a good idea.
