Capital District focuses on improving services in the downtown areas of the municipality including the downtown Halifax and Dartmouth, and the business districts of Spring Garden Road, Quinpool Road, and Gottingen Street. We’ve covered lots of ground over the last four years addressing standards and programs for maintenance and civic pride, streetscape and public amenities, community safety, urban design and the quality of our surroundings, as well as plans for publicly owned lands and facilities within the Capital District.
The Capital District program is guided by the efforts of many people including staff who work across HRM, Halifax Regional Council, external organizations, and many public and stakeholder groups who work with us on an ongoing basis. A dedicated Task Force of 29 members representing the five area business associations within the Capital District and the Provincial Waterfront Development Corporation meet on a monthly basis to troubleshoot and improve service to the downtown areas.
