They also have a couple of these above the circ coming towards the Mackay on the Dartmouth side.
I think there is 4 in total. Robie st, Barrington st, 111 and whatever they call ramp leading from Windsor exchange to the Bridge. Once all the construction work is over I don't expect these to be used that often. Maybe during accident clean-up but that's about it.

There's also one on Victoria Road coming from Burnside. I'm not sure but there's likely another on Victoria Road as well coming from the North-End of Dartmouth.
Does anyone know whats going in where the circ meets main st above the muraled wall. Theres been a crane there for a few weeks but I havent heard anything about it.
That is a continuing care facility under construction. I realize this was answered awhile ago but I don't know how to delete posts.
Didn't know where to put this, but I found an interesting little story about a fight in New York over a proposed new skyscrapper (a true skyscrapper). The arguments on both sides sound awfully familiar
I bought it at Canadian Tire. It was for my son for Christmas. I haven't weight tested it yet but it comes a bucket accessory that I filled with sand and it was able to lift it. I'll see if I can get some specs. I may have to counter weigh it as the base is fairly unstable.

So cool... Meanwhile the children (or likely grandchildren) of HT members are being taught to oppose lego buildings taller than 8 blocks and to be generally useless to society.

Yeah, we all forget sometimes that the resistance that we see here toward development is actually quite common. Same goes for the leadership issue at the municipal level - you just have to look at the ignorant and embarrassing candidate leading the Mayoral race in Toronto. If our biggest, most diverse city can't find a suitable and intelligent leader, it shouldn't be overly surprising that Halifax can't either.

Interestingly HT has said there is approx. 1 million sq. ft. capacity for development in parking lots in the downtown at the current prescribed heights. Think of the lost sq. footage from the existing buildings that were forced to be chopped off at 6-10 fl.
Not to side-track the HT bashing but the office building for the corner of Agricola and West has begun construction. It's being built by J D Stevens (a Florida based company) and if memory serves it will be three stories.
On a side note, I'm going to get some pics of new subdivisions in sackville this weekend, there have been 3 new ones going up by my house. 2 are almost complete other is just doing the roads now... More sprawl just what we need.
Ahh, yes, The HT doing it's wonderful job of letting the inner city turn into a mini Detroit with all the buildings they're supposed to protect decay and crumble, while stalling developments which would bring people downtown and open businesses in these heritage buildings or preserve them. Instead these people are promoting sprawl by making the downtown very undesirable to live, work, and play. Maybe an election can fix things right.
I've noticed, that Coun. Sloane has let up a wee bit on her anti-development propaganda lately. I'm just wondering that she clued in about peoples wishes after coming close to getting a pink slip during the last election. This should serve as a reminder to others who don't listen to the people that voted for them.

I'm on Agricola quite a bit. I'll get a few pics next time I'm by.

Actually I think, if this is their goal, that they have been doing a poor job lately. Lots of growth is happening in the core.
