Link Nova Scotia, in collaboration with the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM), is exploring solutions to manage congestion, improve safety and make travelling on the Halifax peninsula more efficient. A request for proposals was issued today, December 10, for a consultant to examine core streets and access points and identify strategies to optimize the transportation network.

The review will include detailed modelling work using the activity-based travel demand model owned by Link Nova Scotia and HRM.

The review will also:

  • explore additional access points to the Halifax peninsula from the west
  • assess impacts of potential network changes
  • identify strategies to improve heavy truck traffic to and from Halifax Port Authority facilities
  • provide recommendations to move the most people and goods in the most efficient way through constrained corridors
