"The greening of the Grand Parade is an idea both promoted and protested\u2014promoted by environmentalists who want to see it turned into a car-free space, such as a skating rink, and protested by some Halifax Regional Municipality councillors who don\u2019t want to lose their parking spots.But a \u201Cgreen corridor,\u201D the result of a study commissioned by the city and the province\u2019s department of transportation and pubic works and released in May, has the potential to satisfy both groups\u2014and the business community, heritage groups and the province too.The Grand Parade/Province House Area Joint Public Lands Plan position paper, the study preliminarily released by CBCL Consultants, has managed to mash different perspectives into a single, complex recommendation: the creation of a uniquely lush streetscape that would extend from Citadel Hill down past the Metro Centre and the World Trade and Convention Centre on Carmichael Street. At the Grand Parade, it would encompass a car-free \u201Clinear park,\u201D then continue on the other side of Barrington, taking in the former Birks site\u2014currently also a parking lot\u2014and the run-down Dennis Building."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
