One leads to a new high- way connecting with three main provincial routes. It has taken 'some of the load of the highway around Bedford Basin, the most oo gua route out of the penin- But the other two exits pose smajor problems. At Armdale on the neck of the peninsula, where Bedford Basin on the north and the Northwest Arm on the south come closest together, is a high- ; 'way . traffic circle designed to funnel a maximum of 20,000 'vehicles a day in and out of the peninsula. CONNECTED BY BRIDGE Crossing the harbor and con- necting the peninsula with Dart- mouth is the Angus L.

For example, the rotary with|}. tts originally designed. 20,000 maximum handles a daily vol- ame i age vehicles. The two janes could take only 28,800 , Bg as jammed 2% hours a How to relieve this congestion at the southern tip of the penin- 'wula, as a stepping stone. This }would connect with a circumfer- 'change in Halifax. ' A second three-lane bridge would be built across the North- jwest Arm from Oakland Road 'in Halifax, leading into a cen- 'tral part of the large suburban jarea. This bridge would be at 'the narrowest part of the arm. | The system would connect -with Bicentennial Highway, an express artery opened two years ago on the outskirts of the suburbs. This would result 'in a major road sweeping from 'central Nova Scotia and from ithe congestion - producing sub- urbs into the central business section of the city and on across the new harbor bridge into 'Dartmouth's new industrial area. ; Mr. Pratley's system would feost $40,000,000, and the bridge commission recommended to its principals -- the province, the jcities of Halifax and Dart- mouth, and the county of Hali- fax--that construction began at the earliest possible date. 'PROBLEMS ARISE | But it is not as easy as that, | particularly for Halifax. The| Northwest Arm bridge and the highway interchange on the pe- ninsula would involve a residen- tial district where some of the city's most prominent and well- to-do citizens live. | As a result of protest from this section, Halifax city staff came up with a new scheme-- move the arm bridge farther out toward the mouth of the arm away from the, narrower Oakland Road crossing--at a cost of another $12,000,000. This, to Mr. Pratley, would be unfeasible financially. He said ir a recent report it would mean establishing tolls at an "gnacceptable" level, well above the 25 cents a single crossing or 15 cents for com- muter tokens now charged on the MacDonald Bridge.
