Should Almon Street Get a Protected Bikeway Extension?
Official title: Almon Street Active Transportation Extension
Halifax wants to extend its protected bike lane on Almon Street. Right now, the bikeway ends at Agricola Street. The city is proposing to connect it to Isleville Street, filling a gap in the cycling network. Two design options are on the table, and they want your input on which works best.
Why This Matters
Bike or walk along Almon Street? This could make your commute safer. Live nearby? Construction will affect your street. Even if you drive, better bike infrastructure means fewer cars competing for road space.
What Could Change
A new protected bike lane would be built between Agricola and Isleville Streets. The city will choose between two design options based on community feedback. Construction would follow, changing traffic patterns and parking in the area.
Key Issues
- Which of the two concept design options should be built?
- How will the bikeway extension affect local traffic and parking?
- Are there location-specific concerns along the proposed route?
