In partnership with the Spring Garden Area Business Association, we’ve installed a stoplet on Spring Garden Road.
Stoplet = bus stop + mini park
This temporary project adds more space and amenities to the sidewalk to improve comfort for pedestrians and transit passengers. We are testing ideas and seeking citizen feedback to help shape major investments in the future of the street. Together we can make one of Halifax’s great streets even better.
The stoplet has been installed on the north side of Spring Garden Road between Birmingham Street and Dresden Row and will remain in place until Fall 2018. This is a pilot project to test some ideas for the Spring Garden Streetscaping project which could start construction as early as 2020.
So, what happens now?
A number of stakeholder and public engagement sessions along with online and in-person surveys will give citizens lots of opportunity to share their thoughts and vision for the Spring Garden Area.
Thanks to everyone who attended the Public Engagement Session on Monday, September 17 at City Centre Atlantic your input was appreciated.
Consultants will also be hired to carry out a 'functional plan' for Spring Garden Road area. This will confirm the vision for the entire corridor and some of the surrounding area, and help us decide what should be included within the scope of the detailed design for the streetscaping project. The public will continue to be engaged.
We are encouraging people to use the #ImagineSGR and share your thoughts, photos and ideas for your vision to improve the Spring Garden Road streetscape experience.
