Shannon Park Ferry Terminal?

Unread post by DoverSail » Tue Dec 08, 2020 9:21 pm

I just saw that this new investment by HRM into transit was announced. One part of the investment plan is a “Shannon Park Ferry Terminal” with a timeline “aligned with development”

Link to the project description is here: https://www.halifax.ca/transportation/t ... ng-transit

What if any is the impact of this on our flying activities at Shannon Park? Has anyone heard more information on this?

Whatever the plans for a ferry terminal at Shannon Park, it will not likely come about until the future of the whole area is decided on a larger scale. The infrastructure would require a large car park and upgraded access roads.
Following the well deserved abandonment of the Stadium proposal, I don't think any immediate plans are in the works, so I think we are safe for quite some time.
We are for sure going to lose Shannon some day, but for now I believe we are OK.
