Is this building being expropriated for future widening of Young Street between Robie and Agricola or is this site merely being subject to real estate redevelopment? |
I understand a new building for a payday loan outfit is to be constructed on the site.

Now, I know that widening of Young Street through the Robie-Agricola block would run right through the newly-built Mother's Pizza over at the corner of Young & Agricola.

That building should never have been permitted to be so close to the curb. Unfortunately this one probably will be also. That short stretch of Young is a real bottleneck but unfortunately HRM has an aversion to widening streets. They have missed a very real opportunity here. Even easing the corners would go a long way there.
