A plan that will guide the development of what is now a quiet, largely wooded area in Fredericton’s east end into rows of homes and businesses is set to go before city council for consideration.
The Southeast New Neighbourhood Secondary Municipal Plan is a draft document by Fredericton planners that envisions new roads, businesses and homes that could accommodate as many as 7,000 new residents in the Doak Road area by 2046.
On Monday, city clerk Jennifer Lawson gave public notice that bylaws have been drafted to amend the city’s municipal plan, and create a new secondary municipal plan geared toward the Doak Road area.
