Bill 24 that was just passed in the NS legislature gives strong executive powers to the minister of public works on all matters of transportation, including within Halifax. We have written to the Minister to express our concerns, and requested that the Province make the Joint Regional Transportation Agency and Active Transportation Strategy reports public.

Safety improvements along Liverpool Street for people walking, rolling, and cycling are urgently needed, especially at intersection crossings. Given the ongoing and expected population growth in the broader neighbourhood, the need for a safe infrastructure for all vulnerable road users will be needed along Liverpool as well as in the surrounding streets. A protected bike lane along the entirety of Almon Street is urgently needed to meet the safety needs of people cycling.

It is sad that staff have spent so many years developing a design that does not meet the original objectives given by Council nor the principles of the Integrated Mobility Plan. In particular, the lack of dedicated bus lanes in the northbound direction represent an utter failure. The diminishing share of costs borne by federal and provincial governments and port authority make us question why HRM priorities are not first in line.

Multi-use pathways (MUPs) require people walking, rolling and cycling to share the same space. MUPs are used as a substitute for separate and protected bike lanes even though they are unsuitable in most of our urban corridors and high-volume contexts: they prioritise vehicle use, delay modal shift in the municipality, and fuel pedestrian-cyclist conflicts. It is the HCC position that bicycle infrastructure in urban settings be separated from people walking and rolling, and protected from vehicle traffic.

Results of the latest HRM survey of residents have been released. At least one councillor observed that the survey is racially biased in that 90% of respondents are white. It is also biased by age with those under 24 underrepresented (2% respondents vs 11% of the population) and seniors over-represented (32% of respondents vs 21% of the population). We don’t know if the sampling was seriously biased in other dimensions as that data is not provided. In the Advocacy section, more problems with the survey are exposed.
