This plan will look at traffic flow, parking, active transportation and other aspects related to the movement of people and vehicles.

The number of meetings will be determined by the consultant, but we anticipate 1-2 meetings a month from May until November.

If interested, please contact Town Hall at town@townofstandrews.ca

This report was prepared by Eastern Charlotte Waterways Inc. with the support of the New Brunswick Environmental Trust Fund.  It was approved by Council at a Special Meeting of Council held on Monday, March 25, 2019.

“At the February 4, 2019 Council Meeting, it was stated that Council hoped to have a meeting on February 23, 2019 to discuss the Wellness Centre. However, in order to provide the best information on the various options, the meeting has been postponed to a later date.

Mayor and Council will provide an update as soon as all information has been gathered.”

Eastern Charlotte Waterways has been working in partnership with municipalities in an effort to identify and manage vulnerable areas during exceptional weather events as well as predicted sea level rise over a period of years. They continue to gather valuable information that will hopefully assist municipalities in the preparation for these events.
