How often do you go downtown?

[worldlyhaligonian]

There are so many factors influencing the frequency of "going downtown in Halifax" that its hard to say "how often do you go downtown". Its pretty bad that there is no "Access Nova Scotia" downtown as far as I know, but we all know that downtown is anchored by employment and nightlife, although there are good opportunities for increases in residents.

Holy crap... downtown and outside of downtown is changing. Looking at the images of The Maple, The Roy, Nova Centre, Icon Bay, Robie Street and the Young Street towers... Halifax is becoming a different place. If transportation can be fixed and further density achieved, it will be much more viable for urban neighbourhoods to support small businesses even more than they do. There is also still room for bigger and diverse retailers.
