Boarded houses on Robie Street, what's going on?

I was driving down Robie for the first time in a few weeks and noticed a bunch of houses and the Indian grocery store were all boarded off between North and Almon Street. Anyone know why?

Bus lanes are going in, I believe.

The houses in question are now under the jurisdiction of the provincial transportation agency. It's unclear whether they will be retained for road widening purposes.

It's for the Robie-Youth Street transit priority project. The city is implementing real urban rapid transit and dealing with the bottleneck on Robie Street is essential for this project.

There were alternative solutions considered, such as converting major streets into one-way routes. However, these options were overlooked. It's often easier to demolish existing structures and bring in developers.

The bus rapid transit network relies heavily on Robie Street. Converting it to a one-way street would hinder access to nearby hospitals and universities. Additionally, Windsor Street terminates at Quinpool, making it incapable of serving as a counter-flow route.

The Indian grocery store actually moved to a new location, not far from their original spot. You can check their Facebook page for more info.

I took a photo of the boarded houses today and it's really devastating what they're doing.

We need bus rapid transit, that's the solution.
