Some of the more dramatic changes being recommended are a roundabout around the clock tower in Lamoureux, the elimination of one traffic lane in each direc- tion on Water Street and the return to two- way traffic on Pitt Street. Lang spoke of the busy intersection of Pitt Street and Water Street and how work must be done to encourage pedestrian traf-

A $12-million facelift is being proposed for the city’s major thoroughfares leading to, and along, Cornwall’s waterfront. The ambitious plan, which recommends esthetic improvements and alterations to traffic flow to draw more visitors downtown and improve access to the city’s waterfront, was presented to the city Planning and Ad- Eric Lang, chair of a committee tasked with revitalizing the downtown, gave an overview of the plan to members of the city’s Waterfront Devel- opment Committee on Nov. 15. visory Committee by Patrick Li of EDA Col- laborative Inc. The plan would be carried out in four phases, targeting major areas of interest along the waterfront stretching from the new low-level bridge at the south end of Brookdale Avenue to St. Lawrence College in the city’s east end. Lang said it is imperative that the plan be implemented quickly before final decisions are made for the area where the new low- level bridge will meet with Cornwall’s major downtown arteries.” “Time is of the essence because it’s be- ing decided upon right now,” he said of the design work being poured into the bridge landing in Cornwall. The first phase of the revitalization plan will target the intersection at the foot of the low-level bridge to synchronize with work already being planned for the area, Lang said. The second phase will focus on Lamou-

Street you hit a barrier and it is called Water Street. Kind of like the Iron Curtain of Corn- wall. You don’t go past it.” He also said the plan’s proponents want to use the “magnificent” clock tower at the foot of Pitt Street along Water Street as a magnet to draw more visitors to Lamoureux Park. “At times, it can be a barrier,” he said of the clock. Describing it as a “a very complex, deep very expensive plan”, Lang said it would likely be phased in over a 10- to 15-year pe- riod. Lang said that stakeholders have put up $60,000 of their own money to see the downtown revitalization plan come togeth- er. “Stakeholders have to put up a lot of money . . . Everybody’s there. They feel it’s important.” Follow the @CornwallJournal on Twitter for breaking news.
