I ‘d like to know more about this. The 4 parcels there consist of 2 commercial uses and two residential ones, one of which may have some historical significance. I presume HRM is targeting the car lot and gas station sites on the north side. They need to do more than that though.
North St is now an even worse bottleneck than it has been in the past. The last few times I’ve used it, traffic has been ridiculously heavy and just creeps along. The left turns at Creighton and at Windsor really back things up, as do pedestrian crossings at other intersections which back up right-turning traffic as well. The entire street is too narrow to allow vehicles to get around those that are stopped awaiting an opening to turn. I think the entire street will need to be widened at what surely would be a huge cost.
