St. George Street has the potential to be a vibrant and inviting corridor that will serve as a focal point for the city’s cultural, social, and economic life. This project aims to foster community engagement and transform St. George Street into a pedestrian and active transportation friendly environment with an emphasis on enhancing the streetscape and promoting local businesses.
Project Scope
The project zone spans the entire 1.9 km stretch of St. George Street from Vaughan Harvey Boulevard to King Street. The street hosts a blend of commercial and residential properties, including retail shops, restaurants, apartment buildings, and townhouses.
Background
The 2008 St. George Street Concept Plan created a vision for St. George Street as one of Moncton’s premier destinations, functioning as a dynamic urban hub for both residents and businesses. The 2013 St. George Street Improvement Plan provided a further series of short-term streetscape improvement projects including sidewalks and curb replacements along the street and a series of guidelines to give St. George Street a unique character based on the 2008 conceptual plan. Phase 2 of the Active Transportation Plan, adopted in 2022, recommended a bike lane on St. George Street to connect the street and downtown area to the future citywide active transportation network.A 2023 study evaluated the potential addition of this recommended bike lane within the street’s design, however, it was considered that an overarching vision and concept for the future of St. George should be developed instead.The planned replacement of ageing sewer infrastructureunder the street makes this an opportune time to envision the future of St. George Street and plan for above-ground reinstatements that balance the needs of all users for the decades to come.
We're looking at an Improvement Plan to build on previous studies and prepare threeredevelopment scenarios for the implementation of a multi-year revitalization project. The scenarios will explore innovative approaches that treat the street as a space for people, as well as accommodate the movement of residents and visitors in the downtown core without using a car. Active transportation will be at the heart of the options for the St. George Improvement Plan, shaping a space where moving on foot, by bike, with mobility-aid devices, by e-scooter and e-bike, or skating and rolling, is the best experience possible.
How you can participate
Community engagement is a key aspect of this project and will help shape a streetscape that reflects the local community’s needs and aspirations. There are multiple opportunities for local community members and stakeholders to participate in this projectduring the first phase of engagement:
