"Tilley said there’s more research required before the province decides it will move ahead with using photo radar in the province" Really? What more could possibly need researching - consider their impact along high crash roads and school zones

This BOPC survey is funny. Older people who benefited from the current systems of power trust the current system. People who have been abused by the current system don't trust it. I wonder why this is. Someone should investigate.

It's funny to me that people go to Europe on vacation and navigate those cities on foot, transit, bike, or train. Yet, some of those same people will say those modes of transportation can't be done in Halifax. I mean, the downtown core of Halifax was built by settlers from Europe!

What I really want people to notice is that deaths and injuries are up and projected to remain high. Our interventions are becoming less effective. Councillors on TSC accepted this info and did nothing with it. So more people will continue to die. This is a systemic and leadership failure.

I guess what I’m saying is that there are no road markings or design features that indicate that the cars should be side by side. Just happens organically as drivers try to find advantages, making it less safe. Easy to take it away.

I would love some jersey barriers here to narrow the on-ramp and improve safety. Cars would move more slowly, rather than the current 'sling-shot' acceleration effect, and wouldn't be able to form 2 lines during peak times, which makes ped crossings more difficult.

Overhead view of the on-ramp from Joseph Howe Drive to Windsor Street Exchange, highlighting its potential for a "road diet" with jersey barriers.

We don't even need to use that many, add a gap of 1m between them & you get a free one for every 3 you add, whilst also allowing water & people to exit where needed. We could redo Main St in a single night if combined the space of both bike lanes on a single side (preferably Dave's market side)...
