A new design for the Windsor Street Exchange project will be presented to Halifax councillors on Tuesday. A redevelopment has been years in the making, But now, several transportation activist groups are voicing frustrations regarding a design proposal for the busy access point into Halifax's downtown core. Amber Fryday explains.Several active transportation groups are voicing frustrations regarding a new redevelopment design for a busy access point into Halifax’s downtown core.
“We believe that councillors should be following their own strategies and policies which put walking, cycling, and transit ahead of cars in priority,” he said, adding that the current design proposal does “nothing of that sort.”“When you do major construction like this, it’s going to last for 50 years. So, we’re clearly not planning for the future if we’re planning to just do the same as we’ve done for all the decades past.
The new design area has since expanded to include Joseph Howe Drive, roads surrounding the MacKay Bridge and a larger portion of the Bedford Highway. The plan aims to reduce traffic congestion and improve road safety, according to a section summarizing road design features in the report.
