The Halifax Port Authority has been infilling part of the Bedford Basin since 2012. The purple area has already been filled in, while the yellow represents area that has yet to be filled.(Halifax Port Authority)
A sliver of rocky land that has been described as an eyesore may be turned into a park.
New land that has been created by infilling part of the Bedford Basin near the Fairview Cove Container Terminal likely will be designated for community use when the project is complete.
Commuters and other travellers on the MacKay Bridge or the Bedford Highway may have noticed dumptrucks depositing material into the water over the past several years, and a growing infilled area stretching from the container terminal toward Africville Park.
