Town Dock Secondary Plan Study

Town dock development

A good examples of waterfront development, Rawley Lodge, Port Severn, hotel, cottages, fine dining, entertainment. Also, be careful not to duplicate features that are already in nearby park. There are already some great meeting places there, water park, cultural features, walking/exercise features ...

Nautical theme for dock and main st. Bring in an annual event like the Wharf Rat Rally in Digby Nova Scotia (check impact study).

Paint fire hydrants to look like fisherman or Dicovery Harbour sailors. Think outside the box.

Development of Town Dock

Good signage

Have good signage at waterfront that will entice “water visitors” to walk through the park and downtown eg historic trails, dog park, Pub/restaurant, Gift shops, water park 1 km

No wake channel markers

We need to impress upon the Federal Government the importance of no wake signs. The safety of boaters and erosion of the shoreline are at risk. Redevelopment of this land will be wasted if people do not feel safe visiting.

Plan all buildings to be set back from the water. Waterfront & water Access is for people, not structure.

Keep waterfront unobstructed.

Boat Launch a MUST - And, access to docks with car for Loading/Unloading

Need to consider boaters that haul groceries/ luggage/ building materials.... Ideally have a pass system, or keyed entry to allow entry to dock area with vehicle for this purpose.

Like the idea of making it a part of rotary park , but the boat ramp is a vital part of our town . 8 parking spaces is no where

Need for boat ramp / parking

Move the Kitchikewana statue. Where it is now, any photos of it contain the sewage treatment plant as a background.

Georgian queen

Move the Georgian queen closer to the office so when we sit in our boat we can see up the bay also the tourist will see our nice bay area
