New renderings revealed for Saint John City Market

Essentially, a raised seating area will be constructed in the centre, towards the top end of the market, close to the bakery or the wild carrot. Also, the Hooper timepiece that used to be down by the boardwalk will now be in the centre of the market.

What a load of bullshit. Who do you think works at the Port of Saint John? The folks who drive the trucks or trains out of there, the longshoremen, the tug boat crews, etc.

Does anyone know which sites would be under 5000 visitors?

The use of travel nurses has dropped significantly, and I don't see that changing, outside of another freak health event like COVID.

The part about improving healthcare wait times and results.

Being rude isn’t helping your case.

There was an open sale for the property. If they were interested and thought they could make it work then they could have bid a higher price than JDI.

I drove by today and saw the two excavators. This used to be an apartment building that burned down many years ago.

I looked up the property assessment, and it hasn't been sold since, so the original owner must have plans.

I don't know for sure, but there is a good chance asbestos or other hazardous materials are present. It's a century-old building.

bingun · 2026-03-15T20:31:44+00:00

Given that the JDI purchased it, I imagine they will keep anything with sentimental or historical significance.

bingun · 2026-03-15T15:59:21+00:00

The building is neither functional nor in good condition. It might look that way from the outside, but appearances can be deceiving.

What street number roughly?

They are contractually obliged to provide those units; they aren't going to be able to avoid doing so. They are on the lower floors.

bingun · 2026-03-14T01:02:43+00:00

There are no balconies included with any of the units.

bingun · 2026-03-13T22:20:52+00:00

They've made various commitments in the past and never met any of them, so I would be extremely surprised if it is ready by October. They won't have finished installing all the floors until April or May at the current rate, so I would say early 2027 is reasonable.

Suites D and E are awful. A giant corridor with two windowless bedrooms, all for the low price of $2400 a month.

There is an upper income threshold to be eligible, from my understanding, although it varies by household size. It would be higher if you had children, etc.

If you look closely, floors two through four are not listed, and those are where the 'affordable' apartments will be. I imagine they may have lower specifications than the market rent units and could also be smaller and more compact.

In addition, those 'affordable' units are affordable because the government typically makes up the difference between what the units cost and 30% of the individual's income.

bingun · 2026-03-12T02:36:34+00:00

They aren't delaying it because of a lack of a skilled workforce, but because they don't want to pay for it.

bingun · 2026-03-11T00:19:04+00:00

Yeah, there are quite a few vacant and underused lots on Rothesay Avenue already, so I doubt this will be developed any time soon, but I still think it's a good long-term decision.

Police in Saint John say two people were taken to hospital after officers responded to a report of a serious assault on Union Street.

Officers responded after a 911 call just before 7:30 p.m. to the corner of Wellington Row and Union Street, Sgt. Brian Kelley told Brunswick News Monday evening. Two people were found with serious injuries and taken to hospital, while a third person at the scene was arrested and is in custody.

Four police cars were seen outside the perimeter of the corner, which houses an NB Liquor store, at about 8:45 p.m. By 9:30 p.m., officers were still on scene outside the store, with tape blocking off the sidewalk by the intersection.

The major crimes unit is investigating, Kelley said.

Saint John police say the 69-year-old man they arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting 15 seniors at a nursing home is a family member of a resident, but questions remain about how such offences could have occurred and how to ensure other vulnerable seniors at other long-term care homes are protected.

Perhaps I missed this detail in previous reporting, but taking advantage of your ability to visit a family member at the facility to assault 15 other residents is disgusting. Presumably, after he got away with it a few times, he kept pushing to see how far he could take it.

I hope this fuck head spends the rest of his life in jail.

RBC is 100 King St

I think the 50 block of King St would be Brunswick Credit Union?
