Also, I think we are lucky so few people drive in the dedicated bus lanes now with no enforcement... image what will happen when people stat seeing other people routinely driving in it.. then our bus lanes will be no more.
Can they also put buses in those lanes? I don’t think I have what it takes to coordinate a carpool.

"During the last 12 years of construction on the bike lane network, Halifax spent $900 million on road maintenance."
We are optimizing spending on a small fraction of our budget while ignoring the largest part? That's doing the most work for the least gain.

Is our one climate policy, the industrial carbon price, going to be up to the challenge of doing all the heavy lifting to get Canada's emissions under control? It is also going to be a pretty big target for the O&G sector, will it be strong enough to be effective?

Reading life after cars, they describe how responsibility of the death of a pedestrian was shifted from systems to the individual. Makes me wonder, if my safety as a pedestrian is my responsibility, does that then give me the right to install bollards on my street to keep me and my family safe?

I just did a carbon footprint calculator. I bike everywhere and fly little so my transportation emissions were low. We use electricity to heat our home but I am stuck with dirty electricity from n.s. power. At the end it asked me how I felt, but none of the options it gave were angry.

#BikeHFX I was biking the south park bike lane yesterday, it was fully blocked by a delivery truck. I have a picture of the truck with license clearly sitting in the lane. Thinking about reporting it to the delivery company. Is this something useful to do, should I report somewhere else?

Just biked through Allen St. up to Oxford. Saw some diagonal diverter shaped markings on the pavement. I think I heard that this will be tactical. Hope that doesn't mean it will be removed for snow clearing around... now-ish like we have been doing with flex posts and on-street bike parking?
