Action 1.1.3: Review the function of the Halifax Peninsula’s core streets and access corridors and implement suitable recommendations.
Completing a network level review of core streets on the Halifax Peninsula and transportation corridors connecting to it and provide a plan to help identify any changes to improve user safety, reduce travel time, and increase reliability to ultimately enhance the flow of people and goods through the most constrained areas. Findings could include recommendations to reconfigure the directional flow of key streets, reallocation of space within the right-of-way, prioritization of specific modes / uses, and further exploration of additional access points from the west. Monitoring and evaluation would be completed to measure peak-period travel times.
