I could have sworn I saw a layout taking over the farm. Basically a Crescent on and off Heron Drive. Can't remember where I saw it. I'll post if I find it.

I noticed on the bottom section of Brookside and a section of Royal Road, there seems to be white lines painted on the road? It looks like a bike lane, but I can't find any info on them :S

They are on MacLaren as well.

And on Rookwood near the radio stations/CWC. It's probably all bikelanes that they haven't announced/fully marked yet.

This mentions and shows pictures of the Brookside Drive, Royal Road and Sunset Drive bike lanes.

I know some these were previously listed on the Trinity site, but were not listed at Riocan's.

Noticed that Tim Hortons is no longer mentioned for the Corbett Centre. Does anyone know whether or not Tim Hortons is slated for the Corbett Centre?

cj6286 · #**2807** Posted **Jun 25, 2011, 3:45 AM**

I see that it still listed on the website. I'm not totally sure. It would make sense to put a Tims there to ease congestion on Prospect Bishop and on the bottom of Regent.

Yes, the Trinity website still lists Tims, but the updated RioCan site-map doesn't.

Im not surew that it was ever listed on the on the riocan page. I remember when it left the regent mall they had said it was moving over there and that must have been atleast 2-3 years ago. I think it was mentioned on here a while back that one may be opening on Knowledge Park drive across from the new field. I think either location would be good and could see the benfits of both.

Also I see Costco is coming along, the steel for the gas bar is all up, the last of the steel for the main building is going up as of yesterday and the building is almost completely enclosed other than the front.

Trinity sold their shares in Corbett Centre to Rio Can so I highly suspect that the Trinity site does not reflect the latest plans. I too had heard that Tim's was waiting until Costco was ready to move forward before opening up. Haven't heard any recent news though

On another note does anyone know what they are building on Bishop Drive between Value Village and Kia?

I haven't been in that section of the city for a while... Maybe it's another hotel?

I heard again on the radio that the Ring Road will be closed tomorrow for an overpass assessment. I wonder if they will start construction this summer?

Not this summer. It will have to be part of the Dept of Transportation's estimates within the budget. My best guess is that this evaluation work will be used for input into the design. May be under construction next summer if all goes well.

See they have started putting signage on the exterior of the building and on the gas bar. Construction should be pretty much complete within the next 3 weeks

I would highly doubt that. Both store and gas bar to open at same time ...Aug 19

I see they're prepping to pave the trail from Smythe Street to where it crosses on Woodstock Road. Are they going to pave the rest of The Green soon?

Not sure if this has been posted but I came across a Fredericton project by Michael Napier Architecture (mnarch.ca):

It is called "The Plaza". Looks suburban, with a large setback, but better than average design. I like most of this firm's projects.

It's the second Forest Hill Tower. Killam Properties will own both of them.
It's a good fit for that location. Some out-of-towners driving by never realise a tall building even exists on that street.

Isn't it being built in the lower parking lot of the existing tower? If that's the case, then you still won't see it until you're right on top of it.

Yeah it will be built there. I was referring to the first tower. Unless you're looking for it or the leaves have fallen neither of these will be very noticeable from the street.
