Phase 1 Public Engagement: Online Survey
Welcome to the online survey for the Windsor Street Exchange Redevelopment Functional Plan. A functional plan is the first step in a street or intersection redesign and will result in conceptual drawings that guide the vision for the street. It will also recommend changes to how the street looks and functions, such as the allocation of space for vehicles and goods movement, transit, walking, rolling, biking, on the street, and how the different modes interact. After a functional plan is completed, the municipality works on more detailed plans, where a vision for the street is determined.
The primary objective of this project is to improve the functionality of the Windsor Street Exchange, recognizing there are many demands on the intersection and surrounding area, including the movement of people and goods in cars, trucks, buses, and on bikes, on foot, and using mobility devices.
The municipality is simultaneously working on a project to provide active transportation connections between the Africville National Historic Site and the rest of Peninsular Halifax. The primary objective of this project is to provide safe and comfortable access for people walking, biking, or using mobility devices to the Africville National Historic Site. The municipality will be considering this active transportation project throughout the evolution of the Windsor Street Exchange Redevelopment Functional Plan, and Phase 2 of public engagement will be integrated with the active transportation project to accept feedback on both projects, due to their geographic proximity.
At this stage in the project, the municipality is collecting feedback from the community on how individuals want to travel through the Windsor Street Exchange now and in the future.
