It is designed to allow discussion on the district in general and provide a place for smaller developments in the area to have a place to be discussed. Larger projects will have a seperate thread that will be linked to this post in the space above. This thread is the third of the series and will focus on the Sackville area. This area consists of all of the Halifax Regional Municipality west of Highway 102 and east of Highway 101. Quote:
Thats all of the information thats available right now however with this in mind I have a personal opinion question; In Suburban areas like Sackville, Cole Harbour, and Bedford should mid to high rise buildings be allowed where land is available or should they be required to cluster along higher capacity roads like Sackville Drive? Also how should car-oriented and pedestrian-oriented commercials areas be laid out? (PS HalifaxboyNS this came from our discussion in Calgary about where things like car lots should be located) |
*bump*
This thread got buried quickly when I created it so here's another attempt to open it. :) |
There's also the development of the new Lawton's drug store where the Downsview Motel currently stands. I believe that one is getting ready to start relatively soon.
|
Also looks to be another one on walker conector rd, where the apt building just went up, they just put in another driveway to an empty lot.
|
And damn, wish I could make it to that meeting, Sackville has a lot of opportunity with the amount of people that live here and around it.

Anything helps at this time haha.

They are pre-leasing a commercial center on cobequid Dr where the car was is, looks like it will be torn down and replaced with this. 1st floor retail top 2 commercial or what ever.

Photos from today. The first two are of the office proposal for Cobequid Road (car wash), the third is of a new commercial building (91 Sackville Dr) and the fourth is a new treed median by Downsview;

Those medians that they put in are so freaking annoying, in heavy traffic when you have a lot of people turning not everyone can fit on the median and they block the second lane.
|
They have to stop building new office/professional space in Sackville in my opinion. There are so many vacant spots along Sackville Dr. in the existing strip malls and there are vacancies in some of the newer buildings on Sackville Dr. and Cobequid Rd.
What we really need in Sackville is a used car or a pizza place- I have a hard time finding either :haha: |
^Lol Sackville has parking lots and Bedford has fast food joints. :P
Btw I updated the first post. :) |
