Episode 27: The Hydrostone
Nestled in the North End of Halifax, the Hydrostone neighbourhood is the city's vibrant area.
Built after the Halifax Explosion in 1917, houses were built to accommodate homeless families who were displaced by the devastation of the explosion. The neighbourhood adopted a Garden City design layout by Thomas Adams. Rowhouses were arranged along tree-lined streets with backlanes and grassy strips. After the explosion, materials of the houses fell onto the stoves; igniting a fire which ravaged the area. To prevent this, builders used non-combustible concrete blocks to construct the houses.
Hydrostone is currently Halifax's premiere shopping destination with a myriad of stores and restaurants. It's been recently chosen as the second best place to shop in Canada by the Canadian Institute of Planners.

Young Street, Halifax on July 18, 2014
More Halifax Havoc on July 18th 2014 just down the street from the road-rage incident I ran into at Windsor & Bayers!
Warning: Swearing (I was still livid from the Windsor & Bayers incident I just had about 90 seconds earlier. All of the swearing refers to the road-raged minivan driver I yelled back at on Bayers and Windsor 90 seconds earlier).
Here we go again!
Just after I dealt with a road-raged minivan driver that nearly tied up the intersection of Windsor & Bayers, I had to swerve around a pickup truck that couldn't make it all the way across a very wide two-way stop intersection at Young & Isleville.
Incidents like this happen fairly often in this part of Halifax (North End/Hydrostone area), which is not surprising, given the Military Police car that was smashed up back on June 30th, 2014 at the intersection of Robie & Young as it was going along the exact same route I was driving just now: along Windsor Street, Young Street and Gottingen Street between the Windsor Park/Willow Park and Stadacona campuses of CFB Halifax.
The Young and Isleville intersection (where the T-bone near-miss happened) is in bad need of sidewalk bump-outs to extend the sightlines for Isleville drivers waiting at their stop signs and to shorten pedestrian crosswalk distance across Young Street/Kaye Street.
Yes, sidewalk bump-outs would remove the space I used to swerve around that truck, but they would have also allowed that truck to come out past the line of parked cars and see down the road for gaps to cross through, which would have mitigated the need for me to swerve in the first place.
Even when walking along the route in this video (often for internal CFB Halifax business), about half of the time that I do it, I have to take evasive action due to drivers cutting each other off to the point off running right up onto the crosswalks or sidewalks, or just blasting on through crosswalks and red lights.
Also, the driving in Halifax is bad enough that during rush hour congestion, I have had to literally drive up onto sidewalks and grass boulevards, once clear of pedestrians, in order to let emergency vehicles pass me, even though I was already pulled over all the way over to the right edge of the road, because other drivers around me would not move. In that regard, Halifax Regional Municipality should build more angled, surmountable curbs, just like what is designed on some busy intersections in Ontario.
People wonder why I say Welcome to Halifax: Turn around while you still can! Look no further than this video, the other one I just posted about Bayers and Windsor, and others out there about Halifax (I know many other drivers here are getting dash cams).
While bad driving and walking happens everywhere, Halifax has some serious problems. Halifax has some of the most erratic road design standards I have ever seen in North America. Even the old parts of Quebec City and Montreal are more orderly than the messed up intersections and inconsistently designed road segments that have here in Halifax.
Also, while some say this is because Halifax is over 300 years old, it's not the case, because I have seen entire city blocks of the Halifax Peninsula get replaced in the last 10 years with no efforts being made to establish consistent road and sidewalk design standards on the adjoining road segments (i.e. the block of Young Street between Robie and Agricola Streets), leading me to suspect that Halifax Regional Municipality, until very recently, cared more about its REAL ESTATE MARKET the safety and integrity of its transportation infrastructure (including its Halifax Transit system). To top it off, the drivers and pedestrians here are just as inconsistent as the road system they coincidentally happen to have here (some drive like they're always in a drag race, while others can't go faster than a turtle, even on a wide, open road with low traffic).
The main reason why Halifax is not as well known as Russia, per se, for crashes and bad driving, is that when crashes do happen, vehicles are already slowed down due to the often-cramped conditions on the Halifax Peninsula, Fairview and inner Dartmouth sections of Halifax Regional Municipality.
