Friday May 19, 2017 (Halifax, NS) – The municipality is advising residents that the streetlight conversion project that converts traditional streetlights into new energy efficient LED streetlights will continue next in Districts 6 (Harbourview – Burnside – Dartmouth East) and District 9 (Halifax West Armdale).

Road users are advised that crews expect to be working on the following higher volume streets during the upcoming week:

• Wright Ave • Commodore Drive • Herring Cove Road • Purcells Cove Road • Chebucto Road • Joseph Howe Drive • St. Margarets Bay Road • Armdale Rotary

Work on these streets will generally take place between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday to Friday, but may also include some evening and weekend work. For short periods (less than one hour at a time), traffic signals on these streets may be set to flashing red or possibly turned off completely to accommodate the work. Motorists are reminded that when signals are flashing red in all 4 directions the intersection must be treated as a 4-way stop. If any signals are turned off, traffic control persons will be controlling the intersection.

The municipality apologizes in advance for any inconvenience or the work may cause.
