Fares stay low until Dec and the CAO will have to find $288k to fill the budget hole
Missed this section of the capital audit, the audit of the mayor's office expenses is short and to the point.
Okay I was kind of wrong but not completely. Also, worth noting that one of the reasons the C&D facility is allowed to go ahead is thanks to councillor Trish Purdy's bias
What's even more insane is that assuming that this is safe is @hfxgov.bsky.social's road safety strategy
Please be advised that Halifax is currently under a scandal warning, with a major scandal possible on Monday morning. (My last post said watch, but it's warning, not watch, my bad on that one)
A picture to illustrate why Halifax's safe vehicles section of the road safety framework is complete bullshit
Does anyone else ever think about the fact that Halifax's multi-modal level of service framework assesses roads as less good for drivers the safer they become?
When three pickup trucks love each other very much they produce a suburban infantry fighting vehicle (which also needs to park on the sidewalk)
Those two trucks are gone now but the grey one and a new white one is back. These $100,000 soccer-mom-mobiles/pedestrian killers really liven up the Alderny pedestrian experience.
There's a dedicated @hfxgov.bsky.social parking lot on the other side of the building but city staff and the rent-a-security guys need to park next to the door.
There's an empty parking spot less than 5 meters from this truck. #freeparkinghack
Sorry, this asshole. He told me it was fine since he was dropping his wife off.
I love how pedestrian friendly downtown Dartmouth is @samaustind5.bsky.social
RIP to a real one. Please send condolences in the form of YouTube tutorials about how to build an ebike of you already have a super cool frame.
