This fall, the City of North Bay will celebrate the completion of a $9.8-million, two-year refresh of the downtown main street, which is poised to bring new investment into the city’s core.
In that time, the city has removed railway infrastructure, remediated contaminated land, built a pedestrian underpass, established parkland, added a carousel and kids’ train, and set up sports fields, among other projects. “We did half of the Main Street project last year, and upon opening, we saw a total of seven new businesses in that two-block area open. So that's good for our downtown; that's revitalizing our downtown,” he said.
Sidewalks missing bricks, inadequate lighting, and disintegrating curbs were among the concerns they observed on a daily basis. In some cases, it became a safety issue as people were tripping and falling while walking along the sidewalks. “The construction company, and the city, and the BIA, we all meet weekly, and it has been unreal,” she said. “The communication is really, really, really good, and so out of the situation, I feel like it’s the best it could have been.”
