FiledJune 10th, 2015The approved Project Budgets for 2012/13 and 2013/14 (Supplemental Reports page K25 and K23 respectively) include funding for one-half the cost of designing, constructing and operating Variable Message Signs in co-operation with Halifax Harbour Bridges. At the request of the Transportation Standing Committee Halifax Harbour Bridges (HHB) and HRM staff gave a presentation at the committee’s April 26, 2012 meeting on the possibility of partnering on a Variable Message Sign (VMS) project. This partnership opportunity had been identified previously by the Transportation Standing Committee (March 1, 2012, item 8.1). At its meeting of January 23, 2015 Regional Council defeated a motion to reallocate funding previously identified for this project.
