Halifax Bedford Ferry A Reality



The ferry that has been promised for so long will finally become a reality. $8 Million has been set aside for the project which could be up and running in less than 2 years and service Halifax and Bedford.

The Halifax Bridge Commission is also looking at the possibility of a long term project. They want a third crossing between Halifax and Dartmouth which may end up being an underwater tunnel.

Looks like transportation is becoming a priority in Halifax. Now we need to find ways to fix Metro Transit, add bicycle lanes and add more car lanes in the downtown area.
