Halifax seeks input on North End Complete Streets designs

The Halifax Regional Municipality is asking residents to comment on preliminary concept designs for 4.8 kilometres of North End streets, with an online survey open until Saturday, Dec. 12 and two in-person sessions left this weekend.

The designs are part of Phase 2 of the North End Complete Streets project, the municipality said in a news release Nov. 10. The study area lies south of Bloomfield Street and takes in Maynard, Creighton, Northwood, Fuller, Charles, Nora Bernard, Cunard and North streets. That is eight streets in one of the peninsula’s busiest walking and transit areas.

Residents can review the concepts and complete the survey at engagehalifax.ca/north-end-complete-streets. The municipality said the designs explore ways to improve safety and accessibility for people of all ages and abilities, however they travel, while respecting the area’s history and identity.

Two of the four planned engagement sessions have passed. The remaining ones are Saturday, Nov. 14, from noon to 2 p.m. at Joseph Howe Elementary School, 2557 Maynard St., and Sunday, Nov. 15, from noon to 5 p.m. at the Agricola Street Holiday Market on Agricola Street.

Feedback gathered in this phase will be used to refine the designs before a functional plan goes to Regional Council in 2027, the municipality said. With the survey open for another 28 days, residents have time to comment before any decision reaches councillors. Nothing in the release says the designs are approved or funded.

The municipality said the project supports Regional Council’s Active Transportation Priorities Plan and its Integrated Mobility Plan. It is one of several street projects underway in the city. Our Halifax road closures and traffic delays roundup lists current work that affects drivers, and we reported earlier on lane changes at the Quinpool and Oxford intersections.
