Well, at least something good has come of the Quinpool Road closure.

Free, on-street parking is now permitted along the closed section of Quinpool Road, Halifax Regional Municipality said in a news release.

Roughly 75 parking spaces are available between the Armdale rotary and Horseshoe Island Park.

“Following resident feedback, this initiative provides access to a network of other transportation options to help those who live outside of the downtown core reach their destination,” said the release.

Drivers are not allowed to park on the street for more than 24 hours, as per the Motor Vehicle Act.

Quinpool Road is to be closed from the Armdale rotary to Connaught Avenue until mid-August.
