Town plan 1971; alternative retail proposal.
Expand/collapse
Details
DescriptionThis alternative was printed in the July 21, 1971 'Leader' on page 1, which gave the first reports on a hearing committee and submissions on the town plan; there had been 278 objections.
This plan was presented by Colin Gibbs, managing director of Hazelwoods, a large local department store.
The plan printed on February 10 showed a ring road around the central business district, bounded by Fergusson Drive, Pine Avenue, Henry Street and a combination of Sinclair Street and Savage Crescent.
This layout assumes the same ring road, but does provide a vehicular exit from Main Street to Pine Avenue, but turns most of Main Street into a pedestrian mall.
JDS; junior department store; part of stage 2, which added the city square and expanded MDS
MDS; main department store; part of stage 1
R; first-floor restaurant
SM; supermarket; part of stage 1
T; first-floor tavern above bottle store
VT variety store
Date TakenJuly 1971
