Any idea what is with the large area between Purcells cove and Hering cove? It's an area the size of the peninsula with no development.

i would also love to see them finish the starboard connector so that halifax transit can get a bus up here. Walking 20 minutes to and from the bus stop every day is getting very old.

Just curious - where is the dividing line between Bedford and Halifax these days? I know everything is officially HRM but would folks living on Larry Uteck be considered part of Bedford or Halifax?

There's a mobile tower crane now onsite at the Gardens III. (Photo by me)

^I forgot about that. I grabbed a photo of it sometime this week.

In reality though the entire area is just considered a part of both communities just like West Bedford will be. As I once heard Councillor Hum say the entire Mainland area from Spryfield right to the tip of Bedford is just becoming one large neighbourhood that blends the three communities together. |
I drove down Larry Uteck for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Very impressive! :tup: It's like an instant city out there.
I must admit though, I don't get the concept of having those roundabouts right off the exit from the 102; it's more confusing than anything else (and this is from somebody who doesn't mind roundabouts too much). |
Just a quick shot of Sobey's;

It saddens me that we focus on new green space within the city where we should be focused on density yet we chop down natural forests for a labyrinth of cookie cutter neighborhoods just outside the city boundaries. And as ive said, Man made green space is just grass with a squiggly sidewalk through the middle and some scrawny tree's. Only a slight step up from a parking lot |
Here is a map of what is confirmed at Hemlock Square so far.
http://www.crombiereit.ca/en/lease_f...n.aspx?PID=131 Sobeys 50,700 Sq. Ft. Dollarama 10,000 Sq. Ft. TD Bank 5,122 Sq. Ft. Goodlife Fitness 24,020 Sq. Ft. Fast Fuels/Needs 2,500 Sq. Ft. Royal Bank 4,550 Sq. Ft. |
Wow, that's one big Dollarama! Dare I say it is that than which nothing greater can be conceived?

I think I'm one of the only people in the world who hates dollar stores.

Anyone else get dumb-founded when they realised a large grocery store in Nova Scotia will not have a 'LC attached to it?!
Oh well whenever the other side of the interchange is developed they will likely attach one to the rumoured Superstore location. |

After looking at the map again I noticed there is a section attached on the left hand side of Sobeys that has an unnamed tenant, maybe that will be it. |

I see they also spelled "Uteck" incorrectly on the map. (Just nitpicking... ;)) |

What percentage of land in that area is actually used for buildings? Maybe 7-10%? What a waste. |
This is doing sprawl pretty much as bad as it can be done and it's depressing that it's accelerating at a time when examples of better alternatives have spread all over North America. Even the parts of Clayton Park that began development 30-40 years ago are loads more livable. This area won't be remotely walkable anytime within the next 100 years, even outside the commuting sense.

:previous:
i agree, Clayton Park area is a good example this Bedford South could be so much better than they are making it |
