A current look at phase 2 of the daylighting of Sawmill River in downtown Dartmouth
According to councillor Sam Austin, phase 2 of the project involves:
Daylighting the River
Connecting the Harbour Trail to Sullivan’s Pond
Building a new intersection at Alderney and Dundas and extending Dundas Street into the Dartmouth Cove area, enabling redevelopment of the derelict industrial lands on Canal Street and Skokomul Street (formerly Maitland Street)
Closing Mill Lane (Dundas will become the main access point to Canal Street) and creating a new park in its place
Closing Irishtown Road to create a new pond in Starr Park
Re-configuring the intersection of Portland/Alderney/Prince Albert
Restoring fish passage to Sullivan’s Pond, which when combined with replacement of the Hawthorne culverts and a fish ladder around the Lock, will restore fish passage to whole Banook/Micmac watershed for the first time since the 1800s
