      <![CDATA[Why would any protected wilderness area have to be bounded by the path of the 113? There are examples of wildlife right-of-ways being incorporated into new highway construction or added to existing roads, above- or below-grade, designed to encourage wildlife to cross the highway safely, and barriers to deter them from crossing the road at-grade where it isn't safe.

<br>
My point exactly - if we want to encourage more people to cycle, we need to do everything we reasonably can to make it a viable means of transportation. Not everyone is a Lance Armstrong wannabe who loves doing risky and difficult 100 km rides everyday.

It matters not the fact that those types of developments are what a certain segment of the market wants, and is willing to pay for; large lots are considered "bad" and so is something that depends upon private transportation.

      <![CDATA[Cranky: I think the fact that we have large lots actually protects the "woodland used up per house" as most houses clear only a small portion for the house itself and some grass etc. Most of us still have large stands of the original Nova Scotia forest.<br>
<br>
Compare this with, say, Bedford South where the developers completely clear the whole area so that they can fill it with small cookie-cutter houses packed close together. See how many trees you can find in those developments...

      <![CDATA[STL-- Kingswood is stupid development, a textbook example of how not to build. It was constructed as half- to one-acre lots, no sidewalks, no schools, no fire stations, no possibilities for busing, etc. It's no surprise that as soon as people moved in, they were pissed off that their kids had to travel four or five kilometres to get to school, with no sidewalks, so they had to walk or bike on the roads.

      <![CDATA[Thanks, Tim, for reporting on this and I hope you'll continue to keep us updated.<br>
<br>
Why can't they widen and improve upon Hammonds Plains Rd? I know it would never be a 120 km/h highway, but it could be a 4-lane 70-80 km/h road (without limited access). I understand homes would be expropriated and there would be major traffic issues during construction, but is any solution perfect?

      <![CDATA[Tim - this highway won't help the people of Kingswood. In fact, all it does is take traffic off of the Hammonds Plains Road and 103/102 system closer to the city - it mostly improves traffic safety and flow to and from the South Shore.<br>
<br>
If you have ever driven on the Hammonds Plains Road, you would realize it is a death trap waiting to happen - no shoulders and lots of blind spots.

      <![CDATA[I particularly like this blurb from the Kingswood website:<br>
<br>
"These pages proudly serve the 1200 homes of Kingswood nestled among trees and wildlife in beautiful Hammonds Plains, Nova Scotia."<br>
<br>
And:<br>
<br>
"For those who do not know Kingswood, it is more than just a subdivision. Kingswood is set amongst thousands of acres of land which is home to ducks, deer, fox, birds and other types of wildlife.
