*What’s wrong: Dangerous stairs, Agricola and Sebastian Streets.

Who’s responsible? City recreation department.

Remarks: A reader says the stairway has been deteriorating for some time, to the point that broken nails and wood are sticking out from its steps, and it’s become extremely dangerous. Asked about the stairs, officials at first didn’t know if they were a city or school board problem, but upon investigation the city sheepishly claimed ownership, and said they’d remove the wood and concrete and replace them with grass. Which is probably a good idea since the stairs don’t lead to anywhere.

Survey Asks

Do you agree with Halifax's school board cutting 152 teachers?

  • Yes, the board needs to meet its shrinking budget.
  • Only if managers and bureaucracy get a similar cut.
  • I don't care, I support the private education system.
  • No, giving young citizens the best education is too important to cut.
