THUNDER BAY — Newly unveiled designs for a post-Victoriaville future grabbed eyeballs and generated enthusiasm at an open house this week.
The rebuild, expected to come with a price tag of over $10 million, is the centrepiece of city plans to revitalize the south core and spur more housing and business development.A “central lawn” just south of Victoria Avenue would feature timber benches and planters, a canopy of overhead lights, and public art or a water feature.
The design, which still requires city council approval, also includes large planters that could be moved to close Victoria for street events. “People who are going to catch the bus, maybe they’ll stop and have a lunch here, if there’s a nice space,” she said. “I think that would help the area a lot.” “There hasn’t been any improvements or businesses opening, and I think this may get people interested in coming down and setting up shop.”
Hamilton has cautioned the Victoriaville project is just one piece in what he sees as a years-long process of renewal for the south core. Insp. Derek West, an officer with the Thunder Bay Police Service's community outreach branch, was involved in providing police feedback on public safety considerations for the design.
