1) Could an admin please change this thread name to just Russell Lake West - as we're covering everything, since the retail portion is pretty well done now.
2) Another crane went up yesterday in the area on Basswood Run, this is part of the adapted plan from the changes that went through council when the HRSB dropped the need for the school. They've got the crane up and are beginning foundations for the first building found on "block H" on map #5 on this
http://www.halifax.ca/council/agenda...0406ca1013.pdf document. Things are starting to come together for the area of having it wrap around the lake and connect up with Portland Estates, however that document I don't think factors in the re-purchase of the back portion of shearwater by the DND- I'm still curious as to how/if they still plan on connecting up caldwell with Mt Hope eventually.
3) As I'm sure many of you saw, last weekend 2 homes were lost on Lindenwood Terrace due to a vigourous fire that spread from one to the other, investigators say it was started from a discarded cigarette in a wooden planter box on the deck of the first home.
