[Moncton] East (Harrisville, Lewisville, Tankville, Irishtown) Developments

[MonctonRad]

Moncton city council has agreed to spend $620,000 for a new roundabout on Marriott Drive.

I believe this is for the west end of Marriott, beyond the Fairfield Inn, where Marriott will connect with the subdivision currently under construction.

(Eastgate Village) was approved in late 2022 but came back to council Monday night with several changes including stormwater drainage and a crosswalk to the Irishtown Nature Park. The changes were approved by council, with another public hearing set for Aug. 19.

the section of Elmwood Drive from the highway intersection to Cormier Avenue needs to be upgraded and widened with new sidewalks, but that won’t happen until the city receives funding support from both the federal and provincial governments.

The developer indicated the first phase (142 units) could probably proceed at any time, but, the full build-out to 952 units will require upgraded infrastructure, including the widening of Elmwood Drive and new sidewalks.

What a vague quote that is... are we to assume they will only proceed once the city obtains provincial/federal funding and widens Elmwood, or will they begin before on a smaller scale?

Elmwood certainly could use being widened, more people walk to the city than ever and not a day goes by that I don't see some pedestrians when driving to town. It could be difficult to widen it and retain room for bikes, cars, a sidewalk and not encroach too far up on lawns for some of these houses so that they may have to widen both sides using the existing easement or space that falls outside of the property lines.
