Not much more information here, but the company seeking the change in status of this property is "Albert County Condominium Corporation #10"
Just a rumor but it seems to fit.

Seem the developer was actually holding off on the request to see how well the area would develop before actually putting in a request for a zoning amendment. Would make sense from a developers standpoint because if they would have gone it earlier, and gotten the zoning amendment but the area would not have been developing well There is a massive chance they would have seen a massive loss.

There are also rumors that developers have purchased quite a bit of acreage, and is planning on developing large curently empty area, and also there where previous plans to have some business lots re-zoned to build up the mixed use styled building in Riverview. These rumored plans may actually come to fruition.

If all works as such. Riverview might actually expand quicker then the communities residents are OK with.

Request before Riverview PAC to allow for a slight lengthening of the cul-de-sac on Hawkes Street, and to allow for a connection to the walking trail along the banks of the Petitcodiac River.

Not sure if this has been posted on here yet, but a local Riverview craft brewer is opening a new larger brewery in the town.

From Celtic Knot Brewing's Facebook page on Feb 23rd:

The time has come. Celtic Knot Brewing is up sizing to a 3.75bbl brewery. I have a new space here in Riverview and hopefully within 2 months it will be up and running. Did I mention there will be growlers sold from said location?

https://www.facebook.com/CelticKnotB...SEARCH&fref=nf

I heard the location is close to the Byron Dobson arena on Biggs Drive.

His beer is good and the Moncton area is finally getting a taproom with a growler fill station. Tide and Boar does it once per month or so (with great success apparently) and Pump House is close to opening theirs as well. Gahan will have one in 55 Queen too, when that is complete. Things are looking up for sure!

Causeway Replacement

This morning there was an excavator digging a hole east of the causeway, near the river. There was also a trailer delivering what appeared to be drill stem.


Several new utility poles were erected east of the causeway in the past week or so.



/posting this in the Riverview thread, suppose it could also go in one of the Moncton threads too?

There's a rumour floating around that Giant Tiger may be opening a Riverview store. I have no information as to where in the town this will be located.

if it is true that they are planing to expand into Riverview. I'm wondering if it will not be part of the new construction that was planned a while back for what I'm calling the Pinewood Shopping district where they have the Sobeys, and Canadian Tire.

Now that Par-T-Perfect has moved their Indoor Playpark out of the Pinewood Plaza, there is ample space for Giant Tiger to move in. Currently, Pita Pit and Papa John's are the only tenants.

Here is the link to the May PAC meeting for the town of Riverview:

As usual, not much going on - just more single level town homes (yawn)..........

Ridgeway Park Playground Concept Plan

Posted on Monday May 08, 2017 Subscribe via RSS Subscribe via e-mail
A concept plan for the redesign of Ridgeway Park Playground is now ready for your feedback!

Following a community consultation on March 29, the Town of Riverview has developed a concept plan for the newly redesigned public space on Ridgeway Drive. The park is set to include two new play structures geared toward children ages 2-5 years and 5-12 years, a connected trail network, bike racks, a fully-accessible swing set and a parent-tot swing, sheltered picnic area, and landscaped green space to take advantage of free play opportunities.

Residents offered input to confirm the neighbourhood’s desires and needs, which shaped the early design of this community space. Now it’s time to fine tune the design details before construction begins this summer.

To have your say, see the concept plan below and send comments to info@townofriverview.ca (subject line: Ridgeway Park Playground). Feedback closes on Friday, May 19.

New Causeway

Is the construction of the new Causeway going to alleviate the traffic back-up that occurs daily at the traffic circle because there is only one lane leading to the circle and one across the causeway? It would seem really silly to spend tens of millions on an infra-structure project that's job is to move traffic if it does not fix the actual traffic bottleneck (which seems to be getting worse with traffic backing up on Wheeler at end of work day) but rather only serves to open the River another 100-200ft wider?

They really should replace both that traffic circle, and at some point the the future, the other one along with the traffic light on wheeler/lewisville road

The Feds pay part of the bridge because they illegally blocked the river so they need to fix it. The traffic circle is provincial and we know how much money NB has. CN won't want to spend the money to raise their tracks to fit more lanes under them without fear of flooding. The problem with the traffic circle is the size of the openings under the rail bridge and the poor visibility it gives to cars entering from Salisbury.

Well this wont be popular but if you really want to increase traffic flow at the causeway circle, stop traffic entering the circle from salisbury road between 4:30pm and 6pm. Then, have two lanes for traffic on causeway exiting the city and only one lane going to circle between the same hours. Other cities do this kind of traffic adjustment at peak times and adjust lanes accordingly and all it takes is some planning, informing the public and some flashing signs............ but it wont happen.

That sounds like a perfect permanent solution. A block at Edinburgh Drive saying local traffic only. And dead end for Salisbury road with no the entrance to circle. Just make it exit from circle only.

They blocked Ryan Street to make Wheeler safer, and Enterprise street to make Vaughn Harvey safer, and Virginia in Dieppe. They can do this.

I do agree that the poor visibility, and flooding are big issues at the traffic circle considering the fact it's closed almost every time it rains. Also the money thing If it does not affect them personally they don't want to spend it unless they really have to. So neither CN, or the province will spend the money to make the traffic circle safer.

As for your plans to block, or limit times for Salisbury Road you would have to open a large can of worms. Since there is public transportation that uses the Traffic circle, and Salisbury Road they would have to be detoured, and it would put them out of there way Meaning longer wait times. Not to mention the people who use it, and at what time it's being used by motorist of all kinds.

You are right t say it would not be a popular option. Not bashing your Idea just pointed out things you might have missed, and potential flaws in this type of plan.

Since the causeway gates have been opened, the frequency of flooding at the traffic circle has dropped significantly.

I'm all for redesigning that junction, but as others have said, CN just doesn't have any motivation to do it.

The story on the radio concerning the causeway / new bridge construction mentioned there would be a walkway on the bridge. How will this work given that the Traffic Circle on the Moncton side has no sidewalk. What will this walkway connect too? Possibly trails near the old Dump?
