*************************

The Halifax Regional Municipality is advising residents and motorists that construction for the Gottingen Street northbound transit priority bus lane and streetscaping enhancements will begin tomorrow.

Construction will take place on Gottingen Street between Cogswell and North streets. The project is expected to take eight weeks to complete.

Crews will be on site Monday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Two-lane traffic and pedestrian access will be maintained at all times. Local businesses will remain open and accessible to pedestrians.

Starting tomorrow, there will be no parking day or night on the west side (northbound) of Gottingen Street between Cogswell and North streets. Permanent no-parking signs will be installed.

Upon installation, the Gottingen Street transit priority lane will run northbound from the intersection of Cogswell Street to the intersection of North Street weekdays from 7-9 a.m. and 3-6 p.m. The lane will allow transit vehicles to get Halifax residents to their destinations on Gottingen Street and beyond.

The priority bus lane and streetscaping enhancements were approved by Regional Council on August 14, 2018 and are funded in part by the Public Transit Infrastructure Fund (PTIF) and the Government of Nova Scotia.
