Harbour Passage - Phase 2

completed

Of the 5 kilometers of waterfront in the City of Saint John’s Central Peninsula neighborhood, more than 90% of it is currently inaccessible. This project will extend the City’s waterfront boardwalk and harbor passage system, effectively doubling the amount of accessible waterfront in Uptown Saint John. This key transportation and recreational infrastructure will improve connections from the waterfront to the rest of the harbour passage trail system, enhancing linkages between the City’s Central Peninsula, the North End and the West Side. The harbour trail extension will encompass a roughly 30-foot-wide public space system along the edge of the Fundy Quay property and the Market Square boardwalk, spanning roughly 750 metres in total length and roughly 10,000 square meters in area. Phase 2 of the Harbour Passage extension will formally connect loyalist plaza to the southern extension along Fundy Quay with an additional 350 metres of new trail along the perimeter of Fundy Quay. The trail system will include ancillary public spaces at Loyalist Plaza to provide public amenities and to encourage usage of the trail system. The project will consist of the creation of a new walkway, associated green spaces, park furniture, lighting, and complementary sculpture and other similar components to support programming and use of the trail.
