NS is fantastic at extremes of twinning vs the direst of poorly maintained Highway stretches

And by “save” we mean “keep paying, except the money has to come from all of us, including folk who try not to use gasoline”

stop saying things like:

But what if people don't take transit/walk/cycle

Delay might cause drivers to become more aggressive!

We just have a driving culture that is hard to break down

More/wider roads are part of politics

etc

yes I drive but want to be coddled a lot less

maybe we need to stop coddling drivers and do something to challenge the status quo - supporting absolute entitlement

the "sky high" gas prices here are still cheaper than gas in the UK during the lowest of low COVID prices

I mean......equivalent of leaf versus human

Huge turnout for the #KidicalMassHFX Spring Social at the oval today. Lots of humans and a few raccones. It was really nice getting to see everyone. I think it's safe to say bike season has started

A large crowd of people gathered at the intersection of Harvard and Allan streets in Halifax. Many have bicycles while a few are using scooters. They are listening to Katy speak.

Two homemade signs stuck in a planter. One says "We miss Scritchy" and has a drawing of a raccoon's face. Another says "Justice 4 Scritchy!"

Several flowers and bouquets of flowers laid against a traffic cone at the intersection of Harvard and Allan streets.

Big turnout for Scritchy the Raccone's memorial service at the Harvard/Allan diverter this afternoon. @katynotie.bsky.social delivered a moving eulogy before mourners observed a moment of silence. #BikeHfx

what an incredible combination of natural coincidences!

a lot of young folks also parents with strollers use these bus stops to access services, workplaces. Definitely would not recommend they take that action! They just need safe separation and access

just dire. And something could be done to protect users on a temporary basis, but staff refuse

Finally and most importantly, describe why you (or family members) need to use the bus stop and why supporting your safe access to and from it is essential, not optional
