The town of Bridgewater has awarded more work to Ekistics Planning and Design from Halifax. The group, which also created the master plan for Generations Active Park, has been selected to complete phase one of the preliminary and detailed design for the Downtown and Waterfront Master Plan. The consulting firm received the top score by the committee. They are also slightly under budget at a cost of $249,426. The budget was $250,000. Mayor David Walker says the group has a proven track record.Walker says they're not putting shovels in the ground, but getting cost analysis for the four projects on the table right now including wider sidewalks and resting places on King Street, re-development of the south parkade, and parking options on King Street.
