interesting that the building that fronts Ochterloney is out of view, except for the west side. Also the existing tress are also not in the drawing, but if they were there would be less of the buildings to see. The street frontage for this development on Ochterloney is very small
in the report it does mention about closing the south end of Irishtown Rd: "Closure of Irishtown Road
Part of the concept for the Canal Greenway is to close at least part of Irishtown Road between
Queen Street and Prince Albert Road. The closure is not required to accommodate this
development and would add additional lands to the Canal Greenway and enhance it as a linear
park corridor. Traffic studies undertaken for HRM indicate the closure will not have a significant
effect on the area road network. The site plan for the development provides for this road closure
as there are no driveway entrances proposed on this portion of Irishtown Road. Regional Council
would have to hold a public hearing on the road closure, which is currently not anticipated to
happen until 2014."
