THUNDER BAY – Thunder Bay residents got a glimpse Tuesday of plans for a bold redesign of the city’s north core downtown, with consultants sketching a vision of more walkable streets and a new connection to the waterfront via Red River Road.
About 150 people participated in a virtual presentation led by consultants from Brook McIlroy, a Toronto-based planning firm that also maintains offices in Thunder Bay and Winnipeg. The company handled key parts of the Prince Arthur’s Landing redevelopment.
Participants got a look at draft plans and images of the proposed revamp, which still require city council approval, and posed well over 100 questions of the firm and city staff.

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.
