Seeing people sitting on the grass at the commons today made it feel like winter is gone! Touching grass is nice, but I feel that the commons has a major lack of public seating. Lots of people sitting on the ballfield benches.

Would love to see a section of tables/chairs or picnic tables.

Since then, on the peninsula, I believe 1 actual condo was built. NRTH on Bilby street. And there's only 1 under construction in HRM right now, Navy Lane on Gottingen/Maitland. As someone condo shopping on the peninsula I take every chance I can to correct people on this

Sam just said almost exactly this! I had to rewind and see if he said exactly what you posted lmao

Seems like all drivers need to do to get things their way in this city is to blatantly ignore the unenforced rules and physically destroy stuff like this. So frustrating

For real. Imagine if the parking lot currently in the middle was a pedestrian plaza. Would be an amazing retail experience

I'm always so happy to see new unions forming in my city, this was such great news (less than a month ago). To me it feels like a blatant retaliation, and an attempt to send a message. They will never get a dollar from me

Routine Halifax reminder that The Forum re-build could make the podium into the recreational space and then put a residential tower on top to help cover costs of the project while also creating homes for people.

But we're over here worried about bricks and parking.

I've been waiting for the additional flexposts. A couple cheap pieces of plastic go a long way for the safety of cyclists in this case! Not perfect but much much better

Iconic cartoon showing a single driver in a wide car taking up most of the street space. With many people crammed into the bus, bike and pedestrian space left over. Someone later added a voice box with the driver saying “Damn those bike paths and bus lanes taking all the space!”

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

Hot take, people who hate cities shouldn’t be in charge of cities

Using bike lanes as red herring for power grab, government endangers lives of people cycling - Halifax Examiner While we can still lean on some checks and balances to remain hopeful, the speed at which the provincial government, with the help of enablers like Mayor Fillmore, is advancing their authoritarian amb...

"Unless one is ideologically driven or has an extremely short attention span, it is fairly easy to understand that the bike lane “controversy” is a red herring for a bigger power play and power grab"
