Thank you, Jen and Chris! I kicked at them on Thursday but they were too solid! I really appreciate your hard work (and am sorry you had to do it.)

Just making sure I have this right:
If protesters are run down by drivers, drivers good.
If people walking and rolling worry that drivers are hazardous to our safety, we need to get over it and/or drive more.
But if an ICE officer feels even a bit threatened by a driver, they can execute them.

Good point! Okay, I think I have something to put in the survey now. :)

Yeah. I have no objection to connecting to the park, but it feels like we’re doing the stuff that’s easy instead of the stuff that matters.

Yes! I am having a hard time parsing the non-LBS plan (the original one). It shows a brown line over the rail cut — was that a cycle/MUP bridge? Because that would make a difference for sure.

Yes! The gap on Oxford is a huge barrier, and then it needs to connect up to the COLT. That would be a game-changer.

The Halifax Urban Greenway matters very much to me — I’ve been yearning for it for years — but the end I would actually use all the time is the part that would extend up the peninsula. I don’t think the Point Pleasant end will make a big difference in ridership until we sort out the rest.
