Proposed Cruickshank Park Apartrnents
Above is an artist's rendering of the develop-
ment proposed for Cruickshank Park, showing
how the senior citizens' apartments would fit
into the existing park end how the park would
look when it was done.
The apartment building itself, would be
attractively finished in brick and aluminium siding.
It would be 94 feet wide and 110 feet deep, with
two sftoreys accommodating 19 living units in-
cluding a suite for the handicapped. Most of the
living units would open to the north or south,
with the rest opening to the rear of the building.
In order to shield the residents from any traffic
noise along Josephine Street, none of the living
units would open onto the main street.
The apartments would be set back about 33
real ironz the sidewalk and the whole building
would occupy about 170 feet at the southern
end of the park, leaving 176 feet of parkland
between it and Alfred Street. The construction
would require the removal of one small tree and
two Targe ones, but the -rest of the existing trees
would remain to provide shade and a pleasant
atmosphere.
The town plans to move the memorial plaque
honoring 'Doc' Cruickshank further to the north
and place it behind a redesigned fountain, which
would be easier to maintain and keep functioning
than the present one. A paved walkway would
wind past the fountain and through the park to
provide a pleasant stroll for anyone entering the
park. In addition, a 5 -foot by 5 -foot plaque on the
front of the building would identify it as a Senior
Citizens' Building in memory 'of 'Doc' Cruickshank
and another historical plaque commemorating
Doc's achievements would be mounted in the
lobby.
We feel that a redesigned park would
encourage more people to use it and that the
proximity to the senior citizens' apartments
would reduce the problems of vandalism. We
think the development as proposed would be a
great asset to the Town of Wingham and. we
want you to see what we have planned and judge
for yourselves. We hope this will help to clear
up any misconceptions anyone might have had
aboutthe project,
