Another Article on the Study

I was interviewed by Megan O'Toole for this article in the Telegraph Journal. My part:

Steve Boyko, president of Fredericton Friends of the Railway, said he does not believe Enterprise Fredericton will ultimately purchase the station.

"I believe their mandate is to enable business to prosper in Fredericton, so they want to see something happen to the station," Boyko said.

But he welcomed the study, noting it could spur refurbishment efforts. Though past estimates exist of the cost of restoration, Boyko said this study will be "exhaustive" and provide current, hard numbers to work with.


Doug Motty of Enterprise Fredericton, Mary Keith of J.D. Irving and architect and Friend John Leroux were also interviewed.

Now we just have to wait for the study to be finished... hopefully soon.

Our Station in the Gleaner

Shawn Berry of the Daily Gleaner published an article about our station. The article discusses the study by Enterprise Fredericton, but also briefly covers the history of previous attempts to purchase and restore the station.

A photo of A.L. Gullison's work to maintain the station is shown.

There is an interesting idea in the first comment on the article. Jason Price suggests the Acadian bus terminal should operate out of the station. We need more ideas like this.
