Bike lanes should be paid for by the folks who use them albeit very few. All of our resources between the 3 levels of government should be focused on greatly improving our Transit system here in HRM.
I’m hoping for a dedicated Transit lane across the Mag Hill so more folks can get out of their cars

I am a strong advocate for expanding and connecting A/T trails within my district, separating pedestrians and vehicles.

Last night I had the pleasure of attending the Sackville Rivers Association annual dinner and auction with some colleagues, representing 3 levels of government.The SRA are stewards of our beloved rivers who do amazing work with limited resources. Not all heroes wear capes, some wear rubber boots.

More disinformation. Is that what I believe? Where did you hear that? Have you been following my platform and seeing what I am trying to achieve in Lower Sackville- Beaver Bank with regard to Active Transportation?

Really? Patting myself on the back. Trying to have a little fun with residents. Beaver Bank was misspelled, not the graffiti.Hundreds wanted it changed for years and have tried.Not one complaint has been received from the community regarding this intersection or its perceived dangers like you claim.

And Beaver Bank spelled correctly, long standing issue lol
