I think she believes she’s helping us pack for the big move.

Since everyone’s arguing about speed cameras, let’s keep a couple facts in mind: 1) Research show that camera enforcement is much more popular than the media implies – in suburbs as well as cities. Lesson: Don’t conflate a few angry car owners with “public opinion.” (cont'd)

Automated Traffic Enforcement Is More Popular Than You Think

Cameras that ticket drivers who run red lights and speed are effective and widely popular with city residents. So why are they banned in so many places?

Part 3 info update on old St Pat’s high site

Part 2 info update on old St. Pat’s high site

I’ve been getting some questions from residents about walking around the development at the old St. Pat’s high site. Here’s a little info update on sidewalks, pathway, and marked crosswalk.

Night Owl 5km. First of many running and cycling events this year.

The now-annual Christmas pyjama photo. Merry Christmas to all!!

The holidays are a time to celebrate, reflect, & plan. I'm glad parts of 2025 are over. 2026 has some concerns but there’s a lot to look forward to. I hope you get to spend time with family & friends, and you find time to pause, reflect, & enjoy the season. I hope 2026 is fantastic for you!

New sidewalk open and looking good next to the new Shannex building at Quinpool & Robie.

Car-dependent suburban sprawl is the most publicly expensive, publicly subsidized, and publicly consequential form of human habitation in human history. #SuburbanSprawl #CarDependency

WATCH: If you STILL don’t understand how car-dependent suburbia is HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED by downtown & all the urban parts of your city, watch this EXCELLENT video by @notjustbikes with @UrbanThree & @StrongTowns. And then please SHARE it as much as possible. youtu.be/7Nw6qyyrTeI

Hiking the Alexander Murray trail in King’s Point, NL, for a little Thanksgiving weekend family outing

Forced break from work in the home office

Evening walk in Point Pleasant Park with Michelle

Getting ready for today’s Council meeting!

After a hike and swim, how about a little afternoon relaxation?!

It was a real pleasure to join #kidicalmasshfx for a fantastic bike ride through Halifax’s West End today. So many happy kids experiencing the joy and freedom that comes with pedalling your two wheels. #BikeHfx

Here’s the “elephant in the room” with the outstanding (and FAST) growth in urban biking here in Paris — the tension between 2 NATURAL ALLIES, people on bikes and people walking, needs work, lest it become a political wedge issue. City Hall reminds everyone that pedestrians have priority EVERYWHERE.

“The TRUTH about TRAFFIC!” On June 5th, in Kingston, Ontario, we’re hosting a FREE “turning point” evening with the community that will smash myths & tell the hard, blunt truth about better mobility for everyone. Come live or watch on-line! My keynote + local panel. www.eventbrite.ca/e/the-truth-...

Here's a link to my piece in the Globe and Mail, on the fierce urgency of bus priority. "In a city, if everyone is compromising, everyone is winning."

I can post a de-paywalled link to it: archive.ph/YdMPl

Halifax should be on this list. We need to accelerate our progress, not slow it down or stop it altogether!
