Robie Street
Robie Street is a north-south artery that runs for 7 km in the Halifax Peninsula area of the Halifax Regional Municipality, from Memorial Drive in the North End Halifax, to Gorsebrook Avenue in the South End.

The street and provincial road has in most places four lanes, with a centre median from Gorsebrook Avenue to Cunard Street. From Cunard to Almon Streets, it has two lanes. From Livingstone Street to Memorial Drive, it has two lanes. From Almon Street to the MacKay Bridge ramps, it has four lanes and is undivided.

Massachusetts Avenue (until May 21, 2007, it was, and commonly still is, referred to as Robie Street Extension) connects Robie Street from Livingstone Street to the MacKay Bridge. On the Halifax Peninsula street grid system, civic numbers range from 820 to 3899.

The street was named after Simon Bradstreet Robie (1770–1858), a prominent Nova Scotia judge and politician. There are also streets named after Judge Robie in Truro and Amherst, Nova Scotia.

Prior to circa 1910, Robie Street ended at North Street, with the continuation of the road to the north being part of Kempt Road, and continuing further north from Young Street as Lonegard Road. At first, Robie was mainly a residential and commercial street, but in 1882, the Nova Scotia Cotton Manufacturing Company was constructed at the intersection with Almon Street, which was followed by a series of other factories and created an industrial distinct at the north end of Robie.
