If Premier Houston & Mayor Fillmore want to make an immediate impact on congestion in #HaliSky, they could stop mandating people back to offices & allow for more flexible working hours so drivers aren't piling into cars at the same time every day. It's not rocket science www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Halifax mayor defends motion to temporarily pause new bike lane infrastructure | CBC News
Andy Fillmore said the move is in response to frustration among residents and business owners over 'worsening traffic congestion' and the escalating project costs associated with the bicycle network.
