An update on projects happening in and around Downtown Stoney Creek:
1) There is construction going on at the Stoney Creek Plaza (where Boilers restaurant was). They are either starting the demolition of the building from that side, or they are renovating that side.
2) On the site of where the McGlashon's Martial Arts building use to stand (in between Britannia Cleaners and Shoppers Drug Mart), I saw some construction workers on the site. Something could be starting construction there soon.
3) Construction of the new parkette and clock tower on the corner of King St and Jones St is moving fast. The whole site is ripped up right now.
- Interesting fact: The sidewalks that surround the lot, where the new parkette will be, have been ripped up and will be replaced with the Hamilton styled sidewalks. The sidewalks that were ripped up were only 10 years old and they were part of the 1990s
Olde Towne Urban Design Plan. The entire downtown Stoney Creek was suppose to get that style of sidewalk, but the only place they were ever built was around the new parkette site and around the fountain across the street. Now the sidewalks around the fountain across the street are the only remaining ones from the
Olde Towne Urban Design Plan.
4) At Smiths Knoll (the memorial across the street, and a bit east from battlefield park) they are adding a memorial for the American soldiers. All of the walkways on the site have been built and some kind of statue may be built on the site soon.
5) The Target at Queenston Place is getting closer to completion, and all of Queenston Place is getting a renovated exterior.
