Slip lane -> sit lane (or sip lane, if it’s a @coffeeoutside.hfx.bike morning!). Celebrate the wins!

Screenshot from Google Maps of Brunswick & Sackville in downtown Halifax when it was a slip lane for right turning cars and had zero redeeming features.

A pocket park at Brunswick & Sackville in downtown Halifax. Some of the area still needs to be planted, but otherwise there are areas where people are sitting and chatting with each other, lots of bikes parked, and space for people to stroll through.

Thank you to everyone who gathered at the diverter this morning to help pick up litter and make a positive difference in our neighbourhood. Scritchy would be proud! #BikeHfx #PylonWars

Someone on Facebook complained that the effort we spent holding a funeral for a raccoon-shaped traffic cone would have been put to better use picking up litter. We can do that too – meet at the diverter this Saturday. #BikeHfx

A bright red poster titled "Care for your community. Neighbourhood litter clean-up". It has a hand-drawn illustration of Skritchy, a raccoon, next to some pieces of litter including a Tim Horton's coffee cup and some cigarette butts. At the bottom, it says: "Meet at the diverter. Intersection of Harvard and Allan streets. Saturday, 25 April 2026. 11:00 am to 12:00 pm. Bags and gloves will be provided."
