We saw a porcupine in a tree!
#hfxws lovely Heritage Day afternoon out there and the COLT felt as busy as a summer weekend!
Everything from the north end to the COLT was in good shape, except for the CN bridge, which has thick, uneven ice that’s dangerous for anyone walking or rolling. I added my travel bucket of salt fwiw.

Halifax at 10% (2023) according to statcan link in thread, NS overall at 9%
The metro area with the most car-free households in 🇨🇦 is Montreal (18%), followed by Toronto (16%) and Winnipeg (14%).
Quebec City has more car-free than Vancouver!
Calgary and Edmonton have the least car-free households, but still get very respectable LRT ridership by North American standards.

#hfxws a bit more accumulation than I expected for my way home from music but still a pleasant ride in a gentle snowfall. Might be a little messy in the morning.

Probably won’t ever stop thinking about how the 2-3 Halifax councils before this one had the best chance to meaningfully change transportation here and did not.

Did a little ride to get some beans from Espresso 46.
#hfxws Isleville up and down pretty good. Some slush. Filter at Young got a pass at least. And it’s warm! Was able to give my bike a rinse when I got home.

So nice to see friends today!
It’s a dark and cold time in so many ways.
Grateful for a little meetup and ride with the #BikeHfx community, who brought everything from homemade cookies and hot chocolate to hot dogs!
Thanks to all who made this happen ❤️

Couple updates to snowhfx.danp.net:
Biggest is that if you click on a line/segment and its clearing deadline has passed, there's a "Report to 311" button that helps you craft an email with info. If you use this to report things please let me know how it goes!
