City council has approved a plan to widen Chebucto Road by adding a third reversing lane. They city’s traffic manager has said that the lane is necessasary to help commuter traffic flow through the rotary. The only thing we’ve ever seen “flow” through rotary is pain and suffering.
But, don’t let us sway you. Have an opinion on the plan? Does Halifax need more lanes to accomodate commuters, or does the idea of a third lane give you road rage? You take the wheel.
