State of the City: Seal Cove Salt Marsh project

The vision making portion of the State of the City Presentation  had the Mayor updating residents on a range of proposed developments for the community.

While Mayor Brain made note of the larger financial limitations that the City faces for all of its infrastructure as part of the event, something we reviewed as part of our Overview of the mayor's presentation.

The night also featured the vision making of the last few years from the Mayor, wth Mr. Brain updating residents as to the progress for many of those elements for what he calls incubation projects.

Mayor Brain's notes on on the area known as the recently completed Seal Cove Salt March project noted of the work of the Port and partnership of the City towards creation of the new recreation area.

"Seal Cove, great success. 

This is a part of the PRPA's habitat restoration project from the Ridley Rail Corridor Connection. They spent 4 million dollars doing habitat restoration in the Seal Cove area, we worked with them in partnership to say like you know let's develop a community space.

We managed to work together, and now it's open, I think many of you have been down there.

It's a great little place now to go for a walk, the new Yaga coffee shop has opened up there. 

And over time we're actually looking, in the housing section, you saw a map, up in this area here.

Looking on building homes up in here and building that new subdivision around up in there, so you can come down here and create a new kind of area for the community, a liveable area.

So that is done, and moving forward and thank you to the Port. 

And this is what happens when you start to work together to solve problems for this community"
