We have the technology #PylonWars (will anyone under 50 get that reference?)
We can rebuild him.

The scene I came across this morning with the bollards/pylons/cones moved aside (again) on the Allen-Oak diverter in Kjipuktuk (Halifax). Scritchy the raccone (a cone dressed up as a raccoon) is headless on the side. The moving of the bollards & ignoring the signs is actually an offence. There are some bad people out there.
Here's the view of the full diverter with the bollards/pylons once again moved to the side to facilitate law-breaking drivers to pass through #PylonWars
Scritchy, the raccone, has been vandalised. I shouldn't be so surprised. The #PylonWars are shining a stark headlight on the people we share the roads with, who have no compunction in breaking the law to save a few minutes. This is #ZeroVisionHFX #CarBrain that #BikeHFX & people walking experience
Here's a close-up of the back of the #PylonWars raccone. picture stolen from Halifax Cycle Chat on Facebook.
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
A second boulder has appeared at Harvard and Allan.
#PylonWars
The back side of a pylon made to look like a raccoon wearing a safety vest. It has a tail made out of several sections that fold around each other and alternate between black and silver
The #PylonWars raccoon has a bendy tail!

A raccoon pylon - or a Racylon - has appeared at the intersection of Harvard and Allan!
(As well as a small boulder)
#PylonWars
The cutest escalation ever! #PylonWars
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
#BikeHFX
A pylon has been lost.
#PylonWars
Five pylons with a new big one at Harvard and Allan.

THE CONES ARE BEING DEPLETED
Oh no! Down to 5!!! I saw so many orphaned pylons and at least 6 of the barrel types in the ditches between Milford and Truro today along the 102. I wonder if the pylon warriors take donations? I could’ve stopped and picked them up lol #pylonwars
Facebook post to Chebucto neighborhood: "Funny Saturday night a wall of traffic comes , Sunday morning only three left…by Sunday afternoon it’s one drum two tall ones and two cones"
The war is migrated to Reddit!
#PylonWars
People having a good time rearranging and counting the pylons.
#PylonWars
There are SIXTEEN pylons at Harvard and Allan.
#PylonWars
I went through twice this morning to redeploy some cones.
The barrels currently at the diverter are in ROUGH shape. I think (at least some) drivers are just driving right thru and pushing the cones that way, based on the scatter & drag pattern I saw today. #PylonWars
If you’ve read my story with @grandparade.bsky.social , may I remind you that there are exactly THIRTY TWO signs telling drivers NOT to do that.
And if you haven’t read my story, you gotta.
#PylonWars
