Dunbrack Street Road Construction
Attention motorists, on or about Monday, April 9th road work on Dunbrack St. from Wentworth Dr. to Lacewood Dr. will require lane reductions. This work will continue throughout the spring and summer months. The hours of work will be 7AM - 6PM with evening and weekends as required. This work, being undertaken by Dexter Construction on behalf of Halifax Water, is to allow for the excavation of access pits in the road for Phase Two of the Dunbrack St. Water Main Sliplining Project, along with asphalt and curb replacement.
Two lane, two way traffic flow will be maintained at all times. There will be no loss of municipal services. Sidewalk access will be maintained. Experienced traffic control personnel will be on-site to ensure smooth traffic flow. On site personnel will also maintain communication with local residents and businesses to help minimize disruption. Motorists are asked to use alternate routes where possible and to proceed carefully through the work zone. Motorists are also reminded that speed fines double in work zones. We apologize for any inconvenience this necessary infrastructure improvement work may cause.

HRMbyDesign Centre Plan public consultation gets underway
HRM citizens are invited to participate in public consultation meetings being held to initiate the first phase of HRMbyDesign’s Centre Plan. This phase of the Centre Plan will deliver new land use policies for several commercial corridors in Halifax and Dartmouth in 2012 (click here for boundary maps), to ensure that the character and scale of neighbourhoods is protected, while accommodating new opportunities for well-designed densification.
Two public consultation meetings will be held in each Halifax and Dartmouth neighbourhood where growth opportunities and challenges have been identified. The first meeting will provide information on the approach and gain community input on the boundary of the area, and how the Centre Plan can protect and build on community’s assets. The second meeting will propose policy and by-law changes based on feedback received at the first meeting.
