Halifax's mayor wants to pause bike infrastructure projects even those already approved and funded by council.

So a couple of hundred cyclists - me included - showed up at City Hall this morning to politely show our disagreement. Active mobility infrastructure helps traffic congestion.

“This isn’t a step backwards”??!?! 😡 we are already so behind in active transport infrastructure I can’t imagine we will ever see forward again. I hope councillors call out this bullshit.
Mayor Andy Fillmore states that he will introduce a motion next Tuesday to halt construction of new bike lanes #BikeHfx

We must end that international embarrassment.

Yes. We need Medicare for All.

Vaccines are LIFESAVING MIRACLES.
