Water Street Functional Plan – Winter 2022 Survey
The Halifax Regional Municipality is inviting residents to participate in a survey to help inform future changes to Water Street (Lower and Upper Water streets), from Terminal Road to Historic Properties.
Water Street is among Halifax’s most prominent and historic streets. It plays a key role in the regional roadway network and acts as a focal point for civic events, culture, and tourism. It also serves multiple Halifax Transit routes, is a designated bicycle route, and serves as the primary northbound route for trucks departing the South End Container Terminal and moving through Downtown Halifax.
This project will develop a long-term vision for Water Street that will inform future changes to the corridor. The vision will be developed based on the corridor’s current and future needs as well as policy direction from the Integrated Mobility Plan, the Active Transportation Priorities Plan, and Halifax Transit’s Moving Forward Together Plan, among others.
Two functional design options have been developed for Water Street based on project goals and design objectives. The project team is looking for feedback from the public on the proposed design options. The public may provide feedback by participating in an online survey. The feedback from this phase of engagement will help inform the preferred design option.
Online survey
The online survey will be open from Wednesday, March 9 to Friday, March 25.
