Runners in the half and full marathons found a water station like no other on Kenny Street, near Needham Recreation Centre.

HALIFAX — City traffic planners will host a public meeting on Wednesday to explain their take on roundabouts, specifically the one proposed for the intersection of Duffus, Novalea and Devonshire. The meeting will be held at St. Stephen’s School, 3669 Highland Avenue from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

City council has already approved the roundabout in principle. A recent city staff report in favour of roundabouts provided the diagram above, as well as proposed makeovers for the intersections of Cunard-Agricola-North Park (see below), Robie-Quinpool-Bell and North Park-Trollope-Cogswell-Ahern-Rainnie Drive.

Over 70 people were forced to stand at the Needham meeting because of a lack of chairs. (Image added day after original posting below.)

Three public meetings this week could have a big impact on Needham Centre and its swimming pool.

The sessions, run by the municipality, are to discuss a 150-page document that looks at the future of the city’s fields, pools and rinks. Some of the recommendations will be of interest to swimmers who enjoy Needham and Centennial pools.

An example:

Public meetings are scheduled for the Needham Centre/Pool (Nov. 23), St. Andrew’s Centre (Nov. 25) and Halifax Forum’s Multi Purpose Centre (Nov. 26). The meetings start at 7 p.m..
