Grand-Bouctouche is a community making big strides.
Amalgamation in 2023 grew the population from 2,500 to more than 5,600, and last year the town got a 24-hour McDonald’s — a bastion of development at the Highway 11 off ramp.
This year, the town will get something else that’s a signal of growth: its very first traffic light.
“During the day, sometimes there’s a lot of traffic because it’s too much there,” Bouctouche Mayor Aldéo Saulnier said. “We have the off ramp for the highway, we have the Tim Hortons right there, the McDo is right there, Bouctouche Chrysler Dodge is right there.”
Saulnier said town council commissioned a traffic study to decide where the light should go.
