Still on a quest to bike to a grocery store in Dartmouth. Last night I tried the Mount Hope multi-use path to Russell Lake. Forced to dismount 5 times (extra fun with a fake hip and slightly to-big-for-me bike) and maneuver around pedestrians wearing headphones.

Multi-use pathways don& #39;t work. Today I learned that Prince Albert will be getting painted, not separated bike lanes. And that the section of Portland Street close to downtown (which is part of a new planning process) is too narrow for cycling infrastructure.

Our city is old. We know that. But it& #39;s time for Halifax to get more imaginative about our transportation future.

New developments planned for Dartmouth are only going to make our roads more dangerous if we don& #39;t plan to get more people out of large single occupancy vehicles.

If Portland Street isn& #39;t wide enough for car traffic, cycling, and transit lanes, why should car traffic be automatically prioritized?
