A lagoon means that many garden quality plants will not grow here. I still love the idea though. At least on the Halifax side of the boardwalk, I've noticed people fishing the last few summers. They had success. Fish were caught.
It was fun to see small crowds of people gathering to observe the catch. Some of the comments I heard around me expressed surprise that Halifax Harbour could support this kind of life.
This lagoon on the Dartmouth side would be appreciated by these fishers, I'm sure. I would enjoy this "geoscaping" as green space, similar to an inland park.
What if more of this coastal space was filled with sand and purposed as a beach?
Imagine how warm that lagoon water could become during the summer. It would be shallow and perfect for swimming.
These waterfront proposals keep flirting with the idea of a beach. I wish the city could partner with the private sector and create the biggest beach possible.
This King's Wharf proposal-in-progress has improved considerably. If completed it will contain one of the best urban canyons in Halifax. Awesome density! Very pleased.
