Nope. Pretty much shut down. But, for the person with some grey cells still working, they are probably saying :"ummm...ehhh..no, I think it best to just stay away no matter what" but hey, that's me :-)

Considering the number of "parks" they should be much more specific. (that's only metro core.

They keep saying "for example" Just a list of the 900+ that are closed.

Halifax: where good ideas go to die.

The solid yellow are Fed/Prov parks closed (Herring Cove data not there). The yellow boxes are HRM parks. This is just metro. Once outside, it get's harder to visualize so few features over such a large area. This was over dinner, fast, and my cartography prof will give me an F for this :-)

Why can't HRM release a list?

thanks!

I was playing with the forest and parks data, making a map to see what's where. Holy crap there's a lot of parks and trails. But looking at it, giving a list would be good (and easy). If I knew which ones, a map could be done in minutes. HRM does have people who do that.

More light reading for tonight.
Is it irony that it's timed after bike "chat" at council?

So, Point Pleasant Park? Paths along water open and paths inside closed? A list/map of parks/trails would do nicely. :-)

Took 50 years. Began with Waterfront Development Corporation (2 summers work) (now BuildNS) Waterfronts on both sides were crappy when I was a kid. But hey, there were wooden ferries :-) Step by step pieces were fixed or built. And people could imagine a different place. I compare to SGR and shrug.

Anyone else counting the number of working days until retirement?

The gene pool is thin amongst these people.

Complete with the flushing toilet :-)

I'm just gonna say it. Halifax is a dysfunctional family.

Nothing can go wrong.

Anyone else, or is it just me?https://www.thedictionaryofobscuresorrows.com/word/kuebiko

Huh? Geographers and Ai?

Totally agree.... the hype and dreams of the techbros.

Oh Halifax #halisky how many times do I have to see two buses for the same route one behind the other, then wait twice as long for next one. Will super powered Andy be able to fix that? Or maybe Timmy can jump in and make transit run on time.

Oh Halifax ....#halisky we just don't want to enter a new century

6% is a landslide for Tim and Andy (AnTi bike guys). So, everyone with skin in the game (EHS, HFD, HRP, Port) were ok...and those writing in are 94% in favour. Like...can you make any more of a non-common sense decision? Trumpian I say, Trumpian.

CBC TV building on Bell Road. Gotta be Princess Margaret. So, 1958. Don't know the others but one is the Mayor (chain) but others? MP or Lt.Gov? (sure as heck isn't Premier Stanfield)

Superman. It was real good. No comments please.

A road race need not change its name, but you have to smile at the MacPass run...when we no longer have the MacPass.

(Maybe Tim's Tolls? Or Tim's Trots? Or Houston's Hussle? )

I humbly put to you,
Stating the obvious.

Geezus.. It's a virus of "common sense."
I guess we now know what they talk about over coffee at a First Ministers meeting.

Greatness, we are told, "common sense."

Reality is it's the expedient grasping of power, abusing democracy to perpetuate policies and attitudes that look longingly to the past century, rather than dreaming of the one ahead.

"Their" common sense condemns us to never achieve that picture.

What makes a great city? When looking at pictures of the most beautiful places, people say "we will be like that."

But, instead...
