The BA rep I finally talked to wanted to fight me because I was trying to provide the civic across the street instead of “the exact civic.” Okay, the civic for the whole dockyards it is.

Anyway, we’ll see!

On Nov 11 I finally reported the wire that’s sagging over the new part of the Barrington greenway to 311.

They responded saying it wasn’t their deal. They copied NS power.

NSP replied today saying it’s not theirs and to try Bell Aliant.

Just spent 20+ mins between chat and phone reporting to BA

Warm today but winter is coming. Just gave my Halifax sidewalk snow clearing map a pre-season tuneup:

And then they even went back and took bike lane space away on the other side of the street as seen here

Not that I’ve seen, was just through there today.

While @bikehfxlobby.bsky.social is away I’m trying to do a little bit every day to make things nicer for her return. Finally getting this dirty skillet in the dishwasher. She’ll be so surprised!

Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time

@ph0enix.bsky.social shared this in the Reddit thread and it’s breaking people as expected

Is this “dismount and walk” sign permanent? What are we doing?

Don't ask don't get

Nothing more has happened here, delayed yet again?
Saw utility markings and things that indicate the BikeHfx Allan/Oak diverter construction is likely beginning soon

Related, this was the "no parking" side of the Seymour local street "bike"way earlier, typical Saturday. I am not sure anymore how many times I've reported this. Terrible design.

Yup. That was also a deep cut subpost of a recent thread on the Robie bike light 😀

I strongly recommend they do testing on iOS and Android devices, this form esp has got to be mostly used on mobile

Heh yup I just finally reported this today. It hilariously requires phone number in a certain format but at least on Safari since it's a phone number input you can't actually enter "-" which is required. Also it rejects photo uploads from Safari/iOS since the filename ends in "jpeg" and not "jpg."

The drivers are deciding to park wherever they feel like it, this will be a disaster
