I have to make a correction to this post. The raccone is named Scritchy, not Parker, according to the little note on its back! #PylonWars #BikeHFX

Yet another image of the Allen-Oak diverter with the bollards removed, despite the exceptionally cute raccoon explaining that this really is a bikes only piece of infrastructure. Can't stop those drivers going wherever they like, no matter what the signs or the law say. It's an early morning image with the asphalt glowing in the street light, houses and trees in the background.

Not so effective at stopping the pylon/bollard removal squad but at least Parker is still in place this morning #BikeHFX

The new enforcement officer at the Harvard–Allan diagonal diverter seems to be effective 🦝 #BikeHfx

A comment on a post about booze in convenience stores on the subreddit r/NovaScotia reads: “Recent convert to cycling and now I'm complaining the lanes are incomplete! Lol three weeks ago I was cursing them!”

Converting one Nova Scotian at a time #BikeHFX #TeamMoreBikeLanes

Parker made it through the day - a #BikeHFX miracle!

Deploy the raccoon!

A new front in #PylonWars has opened up & it is darn cute.

A good likeness to our bike mayor too @seebo429.bsky.social

Still possible if we don't cater to large truck turn radius??

A gravel trail booked by orange plastic temporary fencing with signage indicating the trail is closed beyond. A highway overpass and construction equipment is visible in the background

So apparently the Shubie trail is closed at the first overpass now.

Hey #BikeHFX
Does anyone have a Biktrix bike?
They have a two for one sale on now.
I don't need a high end bike, but I want something that will be reliable and get me up the big hill I live on.

Early this week, someone removed the traffic cones at the Harvard/Allan diverter to let cars through. Thanks to Halifax's dedicated #BikeHfx community, they have been replaced with an absurd number of varied traffic control devices.

There's room for more.

Our mayor would never...

But if he did, #BikeHfx would absolutely have him reinstalling the median flexposts at the Donham Diverter, or installing all the summer municipal bike racks.

I hope to see many at the rally today at noon. We need to keep telling Houston and reminding the public we have leadership in solidarity.

It hasn’t got a lot of press but cycling and active living are deeply impacted. #bikehfx

Pylon chess isn’t a bad idea for our Pylon Palooza/Donham Diverter event #Bikehfx.

Take care on the ramp off Joe Howe this morning. It's still partially covered with snow/ice, as is Elliot St.

Five different pylon and cones, acting as street diverters.

Nice collection
