Legally crossing Joe Howe @ Springvale with OH
Heard the screech of tyres
Saw a driver blowing through the red light & coming at us before realising their error
Feared for my life
Cursed the elected officials who refuse to make road safety a priority.
This is #ZeroVisionHFX Every. Single. Day.

Another day, another email to @hfxgov.bsky.social councillors. TL:DR - I'm happy to pay more in tax for a city that works for everyone. Prioritise safe streets, public transit, accessibility & environment. Ditch that #CarBrain. #ZeroVisionHFX Link to email here docs.google.com/document/d/1...

"Walk Lights Are Flashing"
The city of Kjipuktuk (Halifax) has started to install more rectangular rapid flashing beacons on crosswalks due to concerns with drivers failing to yield to people crossing. Some also have audio s...

This article should be sent to every councillor. Have it in the public record that they are STILL condemning residents to death and destruction. Not hyperbole - more traffic deaths & more damage from #CarBrain decisions will follow as surely as night follows day. #ZeroVisionHFX #WorldClassShitty 1/
Transit advocates decry Halifax mayor's autocentric plan to address traffic congestion by providing more space for cars
"If transit is to work it must be freed from having to compete with cars for existing road space. That means bus lanes or other forms of separated rights of way"

I know of two young people who have already voted with their feet & got out of here. Can't say I blame them. My #ZeroVisionHFX tag started out as a cry of frustration but seems to be becoming a prophecy!

I had to drive a car in downtown Halifax today, and it was the worst experience I've had in the 2 years since moving here.

My first time using the Donham Diverter was so smooth - worth the icy wind to experience that. But ofc it is school holidays so I found traffic very light on my route overall. Even so, there were still the a-hole drivers trying to pass me to turn or to stop me from turning 🤦 #CarBrain #ZeroVisionHFX

And if the vision and intent of the Integrated Mobilty plan had actually been realised, it could have been so different. Declaring a climate emergency & doing absolutely nothing to decrease car use is just one of the many failures of political leadership in this city/province #ZeroVisionHFX

Along the same lines, remember when the 'nuisances and smoking' bylaw was passed in 2018? I often think of that as I pass through clouds of smoke on the sidewalk and watch people tossing their butts whenever and wherever #ZeroVisionHFX cdn.halifax.ca/sites/defaul...

Reported 5 of these to 311 this morning, every single one I used - a 100% failure rate. Report them every single year. Why on earth isn't this a rotune part of snow clearing? Oh yes, it's #ZeroVisionHFX!

I sometimes feel guilty for being so negative about the lack of attention to safe spaces for walking & wheeling in #Halisky. Then I realise it is 48 hours after a snow event ended & the Windsor Street bike lane is still not plowed properly so my frustration in #ZeroVisionHFX is justified

I'm lit up like the Blackpool Illuminations when I ride my bike, but still this drivers pulled out into my path and forced me to brake. Poor pedestrians also ignored as the driver obstructed the crosswalk too before pulling out #ZeroVisionHFX #RoadViolence #CarBrain

It was only a matter of time before a driver hit a kid in #ZeroVisionHFX . Youth of unspecified age struck while in an activated crosswalk. The driver stopped to see that they were OK before leaving the scene. I hope they are found or make contact. Unacceptable! halifax.citynews.ca/2025/04/03/h...
