I love this and so wish HRM had anything passing for a similar vision for Halifax.

Last year, five pedestrians were struck and killed in HRM within the first six months, & over 20 fatalities were reported by August (total for year tbc)
Follow-up joint advocacy with HRM requesting a detailed action plan was unsuccessful. This is the response from the Province (thread)

That’s giving Scarfolk Council vibes. @scarfolk.bsky.social

… ‘had’ just come on. Whoops!

Day before yesterday was almost struck by a vehicle while crossing Lacewood at Willet. The crossing light has just come on, I stepped out and a pickup truck nearly ran over my feet turning right on red.

Right on red is dangerous.

Can you visualize sailors finding their sea-legs on snowshoes in the middle of New Brunswick’s wilderness?”

knowing the “why” behind things is pretty key for stuff

Hello, Saturday!

Oh my gosh, this!

I assert that every museum should have at least one inexplicably sketchy room. It may have just normal museum things in it or have something off like a reconstructed 1880s town¹, but it should just be...strange feeling.

… and we’re through. A local hero pulled it up and secured it with bare hands! ⚡️

The bus on route 2 from Fairview into town, currently stationary on Main Street due to down power line. That’s in both directions. No resolution in sight. #Halisky.

... but of course that would be the "English Yew Tree Project", an entirely different subject. :-)

This reminds me of something I read about yew trees in churchyards, often pre-dating the built church itself. Apparently Druids saw them as linked to life and death.
Look it up, fascinating stuff!

“… their song while quite fleeting is a lovely droopy descent down a simple scale of notes. It's very similar to the chaffinch song, only purer, and without the musical somersault that the chaffinsh seems to finish on”

Current mood….

I know, but over here it’s hardly worth bothering to use it.

Over the other side where post is alive and well. 🎄

We need to stop talking about bike lanes.

This isn’t about bike lanes. It’s explicitly the requirement to own a car to live in this fucking country.

This has to shift to a story frame of affordability and not infrastructure or space. Cuz that story is lost to conservative virtue signalling

That’s made my day/week/month, actually.

Perhaps D12 is not my ‘jam’.

Not a reflection on the councillor, she did her best with the room.

Try the Natural History Museum, they have a bird collection in storage, and there is a curator there who is interested in such things. Could be a good collaboration opportunity for them.

Not going to be a popular initiative. There are proportionately more smokers here than many places. I call it the lowest common denominator.

"Time for tap" across the board with Halifax Transit I say. Even buying e-tickets and then tapping those feels like a lot.

New book sheds light on WWII harbour tragedy kept under official cloak of secrecy A new book is shedding light on the mystery of a Second World War marine tragedy that was kept under a cloak of secrecy despite decimating the ranks of Halifax’s harbour pilots.

"The report ignored testimony that the Esmond was moving instead of being stopped for the pilot transfer at the time of the collision." #HalifaxExplosion #HaliSky

I found a Northern Flicker feather on the ground, on the 2nd anniversary of my move to NS from the UK. Beautiful black, and the brightest yellow. I've taken it as a sign. I don't know of what yet.

As I said before... good ol Bert.
