Halifax’s Spring Garden Road is set to receive a splash of colour with the installation of a new temporary stoplet.

The stoplet will temporarily widen the sidewalk into the street, creating a zone people can sit and relax in the area.

The Halifax Regional Municipality says the stoplet — located at the bus stop between Birmingham Street and Dresden Row — will be completed by Friday.

Crews will be working at the site from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. until Friday and motorists should expect delays.
