Legion Road and Lawrence Pond Road Upgrades
The Town of Conception Bay South had identified the need to improve its road network through two road upgrades, Legion Road and Lawrence Pond Road.
Karwood Market Area Traffic Study
The Karwood Market and Octagon Pond development areas in the Town of Paradise, NL. have been the subject of several development proposals in recent years. With all the expected construction, Harbourside Transportation Consultants (HTC) was tasked with preparing a Traffic Study to help direct Town staff on the road network improvements that would be required. The traffic study was to cover both development areas over a 5-year and 10-year planning horizon.
Shannon Park Development Traffic Study
Back in 2016, Harbourside Transportation Consultants (HTC) was retained by the Canada Lands Company (CLC) to prepare a traffic study for the redevelopment of Shannon Park in Dartmouth, NS. The CLC proposed development included approximately 3,000 residential dwelling units and 145,000 sq. Ft. of neighbourhood type commercial space.
Town of Bay Roberts Transportation Master Plan
Most of the streets and roadways within the Town of Bay Roberts are rural in nature, with narrow asphalt widths, gravel shoulders and ditches to accommodate drainage. Many of these streets are not well suited to accommodate the urban growth patterns that have been experienced within the Town. To address this, the Town engaged HTC to prepare a comprehensive Transportation Master Plan (TMP).
Mount Pearl Integrated Transportation Study Phase 1B
One year following the information gathered in Phase 1A, the City of Mount Pearl engaged Harbourside Transportation Consultants (HTC) once again. This time, it was to complete the second phase of the Integrated Transportation Study.
Truro Heights Pedestrian Bridge
In 2011, as part of Colchester County’s active transportation initiative, funding was earmarked for the development of an overpass project and multi-use trail. By 2015, a pedestrian bridge was planned for construction beside the overpass at Exit 13. This would join two major service areas that otherwise require pedestrians to cross the busy highway on foot.
Mount Pearl Integrated Transportation Study Phase 1A
The City of Mount Pearl and surrounding areas have seen significant growth in development, population and infrastructure in recent years. Considering this, the City of Mount Pearl engaged Harbourside Transportation Consultants (HTC) to complete an integrated Transportation Study.
Torbay Pedestrian Safety Study
With the rapid growth it experienced over the past few years, the Town of Torbay was looking towards the future. It needed to ensure the Town had suitable transportation infrastructure that could accommodate a growing population. This included sidewalks, trail systems, and integrated pedestrian crossings throughout the town. In 2015, Harbourside Transportation Consultants (HTC) was retained by the Town of Torbay to carry out a pedestrian safety review.
Vimy Memorial Bridge Erection
The Vimy Memorial Bridge (formerly the Strandherd Armstrong Bridge) is a multiple, space-truss arch bridge that spans across the Rideau River with a concrete deck supported by steel framing that is, in turn, suspended by cables. Harbourside Engineering Consultants (HEC) provided the erection engineering for the project and had developed a unique method to erect the complex structure.
Canal Bridge Replacement
The Canal Bridge over Rights River in Antigonish is an important connector for the community. As part of the main street that bisects the town, it acts as an integral transportation artery. Unfortunately, by 2008, the aging structure needed to be replaced. Harbourside completed the design of the new bridge in 2009. Construction was then done during the 2010 and 2011 construction seasons.
Highfield Park Pedestrian Bridge
In 2009, the Halifax Regional Municipality recognized the need for a pedestrian crossing across Highway 111 from Highfield Park to the Burnside Industrial Park. This area is known for its heavy traffic. A break in the active transportation network at such a crucial point posed a significant safety risk.
