there’s a lot that can be improved within herring cove, but it’s really only a ‘bridge half built’ without the rotary

this seems real, any AI bike pictures I’ve seen are usually missing the chain, pedals, cranks, or something else

and is it not actually $66M, the rest of which is funded by other levels of government for these projects specifically? which we do not get to re-allocate?

this is a street that has potholes large enough to crash your bike, on top of that

never mind that much of the bicycle network now already de-prioritized cyclists vs. cars. hence why we have a local street bikeway instead of lanes on Agricola, no bridge flyover, and meandering local street bikeways instead of a protected lane on half of Almon

I am able to make it from my place in the south end to the warehouse market in about 12 minutes. That’s about the same as google says it takes in a car normally. I would guess it’s about half the time it would take to drive that distance in afternoon rush hour.

when my parents in law were visiting they offered to drive us home from the waterfront on a summer evening - a 20 minute walk.
it was actually a back-and-forth to convince them that we weren’t just being polite and declining a favour, but that we actually preferred to walk.

We're not out of the woods. This will go on for the next three years.
But #BikeHFX is going to be ready to be there every time.

he doesn’t see the same way drivers don’t see cyclists - you can’t see what you’re not looking for!

rail ROW out of Woodside is tough, way more grade crossings vs. peninsula. have been wondering what ever happened to that rail shuttle, though

I mean, I use them as much as cars do, but it would be nice to have something like a traffic circle/button thing that at least forces cross traffic to slow down

I actually am stunned at the state of some of the streets in the North End. Though it’s probably more effective traffic calming than anything else the city has put in place.

I feel like FOHC is pretty well established as reactionary cranks at this point, and appropriately dismissed as such.

I think the frequency and variety of cycling community events makes bigger actions like this really easy to pull off, too.

I do too. There’s so much of Trish’s district that is genuinely wonderful to bike through, and a lot that *could* be. She does such a disservice to her constituents.
