“We’re insulted that they listed all the stakeholder groups that they consulted with on the University (Avenue) design, and there wasn’t a single group . . . actually representing people who cycle who would use the facility." www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/...

Massively inequitable barrier. Kids on wealthier quiet suburban streets get to enjoy using them any time for play. There is hockey and basketball equipment on the street, signs and patrolling passive-aggressive parents.

Cleary pulled the bike lane motion off consent, White pulled transit funding off consent.

What is up democracy superfans, it's Tuesday so that means it's council day and there is no parking at Grand Parade because there are a bunch of people here doing a protest against the motion to waste money on useless "bike" "safety" "infrastructure" and I'll be posting through it.

Halifax regional council meets starting at 10am. Here's some of what's on the agenda for today. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/government/c...

"The municipality’s congestion problem will, in part, be addressed when people get out of their car and on the bus" - Andy Fillmore And just last week he confirmed his support for an AAA minimum bike grid. Lets see how he does today www.ctvnews.ca/atlantic/nov...

Dear Halifax (the Nova Scotia one)... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Complex industrial firefighting at Hfx Grain Elevator. The fire is located about 135 feet above ground within the facility’s dust management system, presenting significant access and tactical considerations. Crew are operating deliberately and aggressively, supported by aerial and drone operations.

And Canada's reason for still not initiating sanctions against Israel is...? We ship goods to and from Israel from Ports here in Halifax

Patrick Doyle, the Bedford pedestrian/runner recently struck while on a sidewalk, is raising awareness on concussion as one impact of crashes. You can be sure this is needed on all levels, as we continue to prioritize traffic flow over safety in decision-making

this cannot have been a mistake. Given the report expressly outlines options not suited for seniors, children and people with disabilities, "all ages and abilities", that decision provides a horrible insight into HRM's culture & priorities

"If you have been following HRM’s recent Active School Travel Baseline Study, you might take this opportunity to remind your councillor that “Lack of good cycling routes or bike infrastructure” was identified as one of the top 6 barriers to children using active modes to get to/from school"

Please contact your councillor about this. Council is talking about this on Tuesday. After being released on a Friday, it's been added to council CONSENT Agenda. What this means is that it could be automatically approved without debate.

A report going to @hfxgov.bsky.social Council tomorrow is deeply concerning. Read our latest article outlining why: Six Critical Questions Council must ask before downgrading Halifax's AAA Bicycle Network visionzerohfx.ghost.io/six-critical...

I attended two of the budget consultation sessions hosted by Mayor Andy Fillmore on Saturday. The sessions were in Musquodoboit Harbour and Middle Musquodoboit (I didn't attend the third session in Sheet Harbour that day). I interviewed Fillmore and residents. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/government/c...

The last #KidicalMassHFX of 2026 was in the inner suburbs of Dartmouth. Thanks to the organizers for another fabulous year! Our fine city’s Kidical Mass is and remains my favourite Halifax thing. /1

New Traffic Safety Act same old dangers

100% agree. @samaustind5.bsky.social. Also, this plan trades a cycling network that would attract new cyclists for one that people will be afraid to use.

Here is a summary table from our letter documenting the degradations of the alternative bike facilities being proposed.

This is a very comprehensive response from @cyclehalifax.ca Bear in mind this report was discovered just this Friday, so this was an avoidable scramble. Shareable with your councillor. cyclehalifax.ca/advocacy/let...

never mind safety, a major project that downgrades the SPEED of vehicles would be unthinkable and would cause widespread revolt

Record-breaking year for food bank use in Nova Scotia as affordability crisis grows www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/...

Given this is a transportation issue, we question why this key report was not presented to the Transportation Standing Committee first, where public participation is permitted - their meeting last week was cancelled due to a light agenda. Downgrading AAA facilities must have public scrutiny & input

This is egregious! I’m in a car, instead of on my bike, for most trips in Halifax-Dartmouth because I feel unsafe in anything but a protected bike lane. That and no secure places to lock my bike. Also, if not AAA, than who is left out?

What if instead of spending $726,000 for a bike route people would use we spend $451,000 on a bike route no one will use. We can waste $451,000 but make it seem like we're saving $275,000 because council wouldn't recognize good fiscal decision making if it ran them over in an unprotected bike lane.
