North of Union

 

August 8th update
 
The North of Union Plaza meets the needs of our growing community. The City of Saint John has identified the need for a new Police Headquarters to meet the operational requirements of the Police Force. The Province of New Brunswick has identified the need for a new integrated Justice building that would modernize and centralize their court operations in the City of Saint John.
 
The Plaza will also feature:
-a single Holding Facility to avoid unnecessary duplication
-a common Public Plaza to bring Justice and Police facilities together as ‘a development’ and create a truly public place
-a link from the development to the existing pedway system in order to provide ready access for pedestrians.
-a public Parking Garage to accommodate the employees of the Police Facility and the Justice Facility, clients seeking service at these facilities and those who currently park on the lands to be used for the development.
At the August 5, 2008 meeting of Saint John Common Council, the Police Justice Steering Committee presented Council with the latest plan for the development. The conceptual plan for the site has been updated to reflect input from the public and Police Commission has updated their building layout. The public is invited to view and comment on the updated plan August 26 and 28 at the Saint John Arts Centre, 7pm.
