Sigh....

There's the basis of a really good idea here.............but key details are wrong.

You do not want a road between the new development and the Beach.

Beach Street should come out.

Loading, waste management and underground parking should either be accessed off the main road, or 1st Street.

Ideally, Mosley St. would be re-aligned towards the River. with parkland between the road and the river opposite this site.

Aerial View:

I mean, a re-aligned road, would get rid of this junk:

This could then be a 40-100M wide strip of parkland land with a walking/bike trail:

So a little bittersweet here looks like they have finally come to an agreement or at least decided to demolish there wasaga Beach main end there was a plan announced a few weeks ago just hoping that these aren't being demolished for the main end to just sit empty for the next few years as it did after the fire

Yeah especially cuz Georgian Bay has a tendency to go in cycles for water levels we had 3 years that the road was completely covered anyways

All demolition is nearly complete and holes have started in the ground 33 years of living this area and I actually never thought this project would get underway exciting to see can't wait till it all starts to shape up because the beachfront hasn't been the same since the fire.
In my personal opinion The fact that it was dragged out as long as it has was a big factor as to why wassaga Beach lost so much tourism

Dardanelle has been completely torn down for set of foundations are in the ground this is getting exciting

So everything I have heard is that the new streetscape for Beach road and put is to begin in the fall really hoping this area turns out nice has been an absolute drag for locals since they took out the water park that used to be right on the beachfront

first foundations poured on a plan that was made over 20 years ago I still remember when the majority of Beach area 1 burnt down Great to see this finally starting to take shape
