Kingsway Entertainment District and Arena/Event Centre Festival Square

Lose the casino

Drop the casino and you avoid the social ills and addiction problems. If the wealthy developer needs to profit by creating problems for families and individuals in order to make the project viable, then there is a fundamental problem with it.

Drag strip!

1/4 or 1/8 mile strip for all enthusiasts! Keep the roads safe. Pay to play and get that itch off your back!

Nice fountain and Canadian beers

Like they have in Vegas, you know the Bellajio or something . Fireworks every night just like Disney. Show the world what we're made of with "The biggest Molson Canadian tap in Canada", maybe a Big Nickel replica. Small army of children dressed like Dario just like they did on Halloween that was cute

Just parking up front

The whole premise behind this entertainment district is to appeal to the Costco/box store/shopping centre crowd - so that's where you want to draw your inspiration. Lots of parking right out front is just what people want. A huge paved field outside the front entrance - invest in some trees to keep it cooler in the summer. Add a Starbucks, a Tim Hortons and a Boston Pizza and you're set. Forget the outdoor festival square; Sudbury already has plenty to offer to those with an interest in such things and they won't be driving out to the end of the Kingsway for it.

Shame on you, city council.

Why hire an auditor? Why ask for community feedback? Why even put up a pretense that you cared about what the citizens of Sudbury thought at all? I should have known right from the start that this city council would always follow their own pocketbooks over the best interests of the city. I hope Dario Zulich and his buddies provided for you well. If you are asking me what I think a Kingsway Entertainment District looks like, I have no answer for you, because it belonged downtown. Where it would be a boon to local business, not a detriment. Where it would be walkable. Where a company offered to build a parking tower nearby. Oh well. I guess we are in good company. Let's ask other cities how it went for them when they moved their arenas out of their downtowns. Oh, wait. We DID ask them. And it was shown universally to be a bad idea. Thank god for the young people in this city who actually give a damn about supporting local businesses. As for me, I will never set foot in that Kingsway arena.

Drive in Theater

I believe in family and spending quality time together . I think having a drive-in theater would be an amazing and so much fun. It’s a way for people to get together and have fun.

York Street Farmers Market:

Floral shows

New Sudbury Centre Open House:

-Car shows -Outdoor concerts

None. I am not driving to a family park next to a casino

None

This shouldn't exist as it's presented. There is no need for more entertainement of this kind (read casino). As a festival goer, there is nothing that could convince me to take the transit to go to a parking lot.
