Special Projects

Special projects include entry walls, Tourist Information Centre plaza and parking lot improvements.  Allowances for 'special projects' include all components to complete the project, for example, the 'bump out' locations typically include new curbs, planting, associated boulder and/or fabricated seating, and waste/recycling containers.

These budget estimates do not include estimates for murals, public art or other markers; these could vary significantly in price depending on quality and magnitude desired by the community.

Invitation to the Mayor ~

Mayor Hewitt, come by when you get back from Paris, France!  Fred Morison, nice to see you.  We supported you.  At the end of the day, we are looking forward to designated, accessible public parking for the village.  Troubling that the streetscaping final draft identifies "property owners" as providing public parking for our tourists and visitors, suggesting strongly that they make their parking more attractive, while $25,000 to upgrade a "tourist booth."

The plan "proposes that Cayuga Street become more of a people place." It goes on to say, "Cayuga's downtown core, seems to have a 'holding' power that is a real testimony to the spirit of the community."

We have lost beautiful little shops on Cayuga Street ~ owners of which believed that this was a quaint village on the heritage Grand River.  They came. They gave up.
