  As more and more beautiful new buildings replace old structures with a great story/history it is important to remember the history of the earlier buildings. Space should be created within the new building to simulate/illustrate the Pharmacy space.

  There are two hundred streets in the downtown core of Halifax that were built before the automobile. Honestly these two hundred streets are better suited for pedestrians, cyclists but not horses because of the poop. We should think car-lite and bus- only lanes .These two hundred streets really can't be widened and the only place for parking would be these horrible multi- level parking lots .

  They seem to want to do that on some streets. I can't see it happen for them all thought. People were up in arms with the changes to Spring Garden road that would cause some to park around the corner, rather than on Spring. If they couldn't even drive it, I think it could hurt the downtown core. I see people jump on the bus to go one stop which was about a block/block and a half.

  @@beautifulnovascotia Here's another problem. Something like forty thousand new immigrants moved here in the last two years and the car-centric culture here convinced them that the American dream is for all of then to have an automobile. So how are tens of thousands of those new cars going to fit especially in the gridlocked, congested downtown core ? People have to have choices cars , buses, pedestrians, bicycles, ferries and trains. As it stands now cyclists and pedestrians don't have that choice because cars make it to unsafe. That's not democracy and if other cities in Europe with cold snow and ice can afford more bike lanes so can we .

  From what I can find, the Cogswell rd section will go right down between the two parking structures by the casino. So the bend to the left will straighten out. The section at 0:48 will go right in front of the sewer treatment plant, up into the roundabout. That will be a part of Barrington st which will connect to the section in front of Scotia Square. The other side of the dirt lot at 0:36 will become Proctor St. which comes down the road between the parking structure behind that lot and the building beside it. The section just up from the shot at 0:59 will not drop down like that. It will go straight from Nora Barnard, to Proctor St. and will be called, Poplar St.

I always wondered if the section on the North side of Brunswick Place and the parkade would become a street with the way it was left. Today I noticed that it will become a street called Proctor Street. There will be a building between it and the treatment plant, and another one on the other side of it that is larger. That will be in that new strip they put in last year to get down to the lights near the casino. It is becoming easier to visualize now.

  Speaking of that, I wonder if the press block will have something on the Grandville side or will most of it be focused on Barrington St? As I was typing I decided to look it up. The residence entrance will be on the Granville side. That will bring some foot traffic to Granville. Looking at the designs, it does mostly focus on Barrington St. thought. It will make that area look good and bring some life to that block. I wonder how long it will be before something it built on the corner of Grandville and Sackville? I could see that having a front entrance on Hollis St. It would be nice if it had shops or something on the Granville side though, and not just have it be the back of the building, like the building across the street.

  @@user-lm6nw3zd7d They destroyed communities to build this interchange. It was done in many areas in North America. It turned out to be a bad idea and isn't needed. It was also in rough condition. We as tax payers are paying for it up front, but developers have to buy the newly created lots. They are not getting them for free. There will also be revenue from property tax. It will also make the area more pedestrian friendly. The only real negatives I can see from this is the traffic during construction, and the number of new cars in the downtown core coming with some of the 2500 residents in the new buildings.
