Welcome!

An abomination and blight on our downtown! (@gregericson.bsky.social)

Long-time coming. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

We need to be clear, that's 30 people risking the dangerous crossing NOW; many more would use a safer crossing. (You don't decide to build a bridge across a river based on the number of people swimming across at that location😜) (Declaration of interest... that is me in the video.)

If I hadn't taken the picture myself, I would have sworn it was a fossil! In reality, it is an impression of a bird's attempt to catch a rodent in fresh powder snow ...guessing maybe an owl or small hawk.

This gov't has committed to fostering active transportation, which needs proper infrastructure. In my riding, citizens have long pushed for a walking bridge over Route 8 to connect to uptown Fredericton. 1/2

Amazing how simple it is! Worth sharing.
