Summerside Council presented with reimagined “East-West Housing Corridor”

Summerside’s Senior Management and Technical Services Department staff have presented to council a reimagined “East-West Housing Corridor” official plan – as well as updates on the construction for Phase 1 of the corridor set to begin later this fall. Tuesday’s presentation marked the first step in a month-long review process where council will consider the adoption of the updated plan as part of the City of Summerside Official Plan. The East-West Housing Corridor will open 345 acres of land with the potential of 2,000+ new housing developments to follow.  Officials say it would also provide additional benefits from a traffic flow perspective.  Work on the project is set to commence later this fall and be completed in late fall of 2024.
