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

[tmacdougall]

Is that a private residence or business between the two entrances of this proposed project. Seems to have a circular track in the back of the property.

Proposed street grid, including development phases.





I appreciate Mr. Budd's comments, and his points are valid but previous city councils have already expanded the municipal service boundary for the Granite Centre, and the province forced the construction of Moncton High School in the general neighbourhood. Pandora's box has already been opened. If the government has already allowed important services to be located on these lands north of the TCH, then, by their very actions, they have made surrounding lands more attractive for development. This is a synergistic process. The cork is out of the bottle. Development is going to occur. The best we can do is to try and manage the development so that it is coherent, logical and not too disruptive.
