Halifax Cycling Coalition Calls for Impact-Based Prioritization of Cycling Infrastructure Projects

David Trueman of the Halifax Cycling Coalition presents to the Transportation Standing Committee, arguing that with cycling infrastructure under political pressure and road injuries at an all-time high, every dollar must deliver maximum impact. He proposes a five-factor scoring framework weighing safety improvements, population served, equity, network connectivity, and destinations, and calls on the committee to direct staff to develop a formal prioritization methodology so the highest-value projects are built first.
