They point to a link between investments and this reduction, however there is no evidence that the investments they outline are responsible for any serious injury and fatal incident reductions, for example crashes at basic crosswalks have more than doubled

Our 2025 road safety annual report makes depressing reading.
The municipality have failed to meet their incredibly unambitious injury & fatal crash reduction target, with HRP identifying a 16% (+799) crash increase in their area.
Pedestrian & cyclist incidents increasing year-on-year

back in 2016, the police clarified where legal crosswalks exist using a simple visual. Not been done since, consequently every driver, staff and sometimes police deny this. Thanks @neluuna.bsky.social for making this magic happen

At least twelve road fatalities so far this year in HRM, five pedestrian. One last week.
The media consistently get this wrong, perhaps due to misinformation from HRM press releases - we have no goal to achieve zero road deaths by 2038, or any absolute fatal and serious injury crash reductions.

Staff response to my request for upgraded crossing infrastructure at this crosswalk on Dunbrack at Clayton Park Drive is the current overhead flashing beacons are a "more robust crossing treatment" to the rapid flashing beacons, shown to the left.
What is your experience?

I'm reminded of @kwilsonhfx.bsky.social's Let's Fix the Dunbrack Painted Bike Lanes. Or - let's not.

Wafer thin painted bike lanes being repainted same missing opportunity to reduce traffic lane widths, at least tactically protect bike lanes and reduce speeds from 60 km/h

I am from a crowded country and find people expect far more personal space here when walking
So why is this ignored by drivers close-passing me on crosswalks, and by ignorant actions like this? 311 will not fix this.

neither can anyone waiting for a bus who needs a seat and shelter go to the bus stops either side of this one, because they have no seats or shelter either.
So you have a whole community with no options for transit users who need seating and shelter.
