The Cogswell Shakeup Event Lowdown
The Cogswell Interchange is one of the most prominent pieces of infrastructure in Halifax. It’s the road system where the downtown and the North End meet, the hub for public transit, and one of the primary routes in and out of the city. And in the coming years, the area is slated for dramatic changes. But before any plans are drafted or decisions made, the Strategic Urban Partnership and Mayor Savage want to give you a chance to share your dreams and vision for what the future of Cogswell might look like. The Cogswell Shakeup is YOUR invitation to do just that. Bring your voice and curiosity and join us as we get informed, inspired and involved in one of the city’s most important projects.
