Is that intentional? I assumed it was broken and just crossed with the pedestrian signal

Oh dang, I think I saw the aftermath last night from a distance. Near the intersection with Liverpool, it looked like there was a semi involved.

The tunnel is stupid, but if Halifax was in Ontario Doug Ford probably would've dumped an LRT line on us by now

At least Doug Ford funds transit projects. How do we get Tim Houston to copy that mania too?

Why is University tied up in this at all, beyond the intersection South Park?

Have any of the councillors raised removing the street parking instead, or narrowing lanes as @kwilsonhfx.bsky.social suggested? It'd be a shame to lose the trees if not absolutely necessary

The rural towns realize only too late that they aren't subsidizing HRM

If we move the port and re-use the rail cut, it should be for a rail transit system, not a ring road. Just copy-paste O-Train Line 2 into there.

The Connaught to Oxford section of the Liverpool bikeway is a lil bit steep

Fuck it, they should install it tomorrow

I recently moved back from Ottawa and Montreal was the second choice. If I’d waited a few more months…

That people assume it’s impossible to go grocery shopping without a car (not helped by every grocery store having a massive parking lot to walk across) But like, I just walk there with a backpack and some tote bags. Genuinely the first question I get when telling people I don’t own a car, every time

Faster/more reliable Montreal service seems like a pipe dream, but what's stopping VIA from running a shorter, more frequent, and thus more reliable Maritime-only service? Say Moncton or St. John to Halifax and back (It's money, I know, it's always money)

If we're still fighting about bike lanes in the 29th century we might be cooked

Yes of course, a thing that hasn't happened yet is the cause of all this traffic 🤔

Ah yes, I can’t wait to have the full richness of our views represented by…

*checks notes*

…a single man elected on the weakest mandate in 30 years

There’s no reason they can’t both be 🤷‍♂️, with Robie in the middle as the main car and transit corridor
