Dalhousie University Active Transportation Corridor
Dalhousie University Active Transportation Corridor
We prepared a master plan concept for an active transportation corridor through Dalhousie University’s downtown Halifax Sexton Campus. The concept focused on sustainable storm water management, re-thinking circulation patterns to prioritize pedestrians and cyclists, improving accessibility, and providing outdoor work areas for adjacent architecture and engineering faculties.
Fathom, then Ekistics Plan + Design, prepared tender drawings and specifications for the initial phase of work, which included pavement markings for a bike lane, a permeable pavement plaza at Spring Garden Road, storm water retention gardens, and a waste sorting and recycling enclosure for construction and demolition waste materials generated by the faculties.
