‘A missing piece for what we need to see downtown’

Halifax Coun. Waye Mason said he was pleasantly surprised by Premier Stephen McNeil’s comments to regional council on Tuesday outlining his “vision” for a new art gallery on the waterfront. “I was really quite taken by how the premier had some really in-depth views on transit, transportation and arts,” Mason said. “It was surprising that it (a new art gallery) was one of the points he focused on. But I’m glad to hear it because I think it’s definitely a missing piece of what we need to see downtown.”

Mason said the idea to build a new art gallery has been “floating around” since he was first elected in 2012 and he believes it’s long overdue. All three provincial party leaders addressed Halifax councillors on Tuesday to talk about how they would work with council if elected to lead the province on May 30. NDP leader Gary Burrill outlined his commitment to improve public transit. He said if elected, he’d commit to an annual $5 million investment to help the city create a commuter rail system to help ease some of its traffic congestion woes. Tory leader Jamie Baillie said he wasn’t going to make any political promises during his address to council, but said he was prepared to sit down and work out a renewed HRM charter. He also discussed challenges around growth, density and transit and talked about a “provincial capital district” designation for the city. WITH FILES FROM THE CANADIAN PRESS
