Edgewater Street Project: A Bold Step Forward for Mahone Bay
The Town of Mahone Bay has unveiled an ambitious new initiative aimed at revitalizing one of its most cherished community corridors, called the Edgewater Street Project .
A Comprehensive Makeover
The project will address longstanding infrastructure needs while enhancing the character of the area. Key features include:
- Upgraded Sidewalks and Drainage: Improvements to sidewalks and drainage systems will boost safety and accessibility while mitigating weather-related issues.
- Enhanced Streetscape Aesthetics: Modernized street lighting, decorative elements, and landscaped features will create a welcoming atmosphere that highlights community pride.
- New Traffic and Bike Lanes: Updated traffic management plans, along with the introduction of bike lanes, are expected to improve mobility and provide safer travel options for everyone.
Community Impact and Engagement
Town officials emphasize that the Edgewater Street Project is more than just a construction initiative; it represents a forward-thinking investment in Mahone Bay's future. The planned improvements are designed to stimulate local economic growth, support small businesses, and enhance the overall quality of life. Public consultations and community feedback have played an important role in shaping the project to meet local needs.
Mayor Suzanne Lohnes-Croft stated “We are very pleased to be moving ahead with this generational project, over 10 years in the making. While construction will take place over the course of the year, this project will continue to benefit the community for many years to come.”
What’s Next?
Construction is scheduled to begin by the end of March, and residents can expect a series of community meetings and regular updates on the project's progress. With completion anticipated by late 2025, the revamped Edgewater Street will serve as a lasting symbol of Mahone Bay's enduring spirit and collaborative vision.
