Regional Council passed the motion Tuesday night to turn Argyle Street into a pedestrian only street year round. Some councillors cited confusion and safety concerns when allowing vehicles, but some local businesses had some reservations. globalnews.ca/video/120832...

Never understood why drivers are not also charged with failing to drive or operate a vehicle in a careful and prudent manner (MVA s 100, 6 points) when they strike pedestrians on sidewalks or crosswalks novascotia.ca/sns/rmv/lice...

We hope this person recovers from their serious injuries. As we explained last week at the Transportation Standing Committee meeting, parking lot crashes involving pedestrians should be included within municipal reports and open data. They can be prevented by taking action.
