THUNDER BAY – City planners say the upcoming replacement of sewer and water lines in the north core presents a “once in a lifetime” opportunity to reshape the downtown streetscape.
The revamp will emphasize walkability, more greenery, and building “flexible streets” that can host events, markets, and patios, said Guy Walter, a landscape architect with the city.
