According to this week’s “Sustainable City” in the coast, HRM’s new Active Transportation Plan includes bike lanes in any new road upgrades. QUESTION: What about the large section of Robie Street they have just torn up? It is one of the main arteries into the centre of the city and one would think with all the effort that has gone into ripping up both sidewalk and shoulder that the city would have considered bike lanes??? I have lived in this city for 7 years and have to say how disgusted I am with the lack of consideration for alternative transportation. I am sick of hearing all comments about “it’s an old city”, “the streets are too narrow” etc. The city should prohibit parking along the busy streets (ex. Quinpool Rd.) and make those sections into bike friendly lanes. Make the streets less deadly to people who decide to do their part and take alternate forms of transportation; it would solve a lot of problems.

Yeah! and what about a prostitute lane on Crichton/Agricola?? I mean I am sick of hearing all comments about “it’s an old business”, “their asses are so narrow” etc. The city should prohibit whoring along the busy streets (ex. Quinpool Rd.) and make those areas into a red light district. Make the streets more profitable to people who decide to do their part and take alternate forms of employment ; it would solve a lot of problems.
You sound like a trick who likes frequenting hookers within walking distance of your home. If you’re trying to be funny, you need to go back to comedy school.
As a cyclist, it pains me to say this, but if it’s a choice between funding cycling infrastructure and funding Transit, I vote for Transit. I get around by bicycle just fine. Sure, more bike lanes would be nice. But for the careful cyclist who knows how to integrate him/herself into traffic, they’re a luxury rather than a neccessity. Cycling, unfortunately, is not the answer to this city’s traffic problems. If everyone who is capable of doing so suddenly started cycling instead of driving, the streets would be just as congested with bicycles as they are now with cars. Mass Transit is the answer.
no, no, no, I’m just making fun of YOU, and your lame attempt at humor. Until you know what it’s like to be burnt with cigs and beaten with a coathanger, you know nothing of the sex trade.
Vicky I think you need to go get a hooker!
Please don’t feed the trolls, Vicky. The more you feed them, the more aggressive they get. Ignore them and they give up after a while.
Yeah, you’re right Miranda…but when people make light of prostitution, it really fires me up. It’s no fucking joke.
Are you offering your services Travis? Maybe you’d have better luck on Citadel Hill…
Legalized prostitution could severly lower violent crimes towards prostitutes, and lessen human trafficing, which is in my opinion is worse than murder.I did think the copy/paste thing was really funny, once i started it just got funnier and funnier, but Ill agree Vicky It was in poor taste, although I do think that ADAPT is equally responsible for making a poste that was so easy to switch around, like that sign on quinpool that said Anus Burgerbut then again , you do tell me to go be a gay prositute in efforts to make fun of me, so whos cracking jokes at whores now???
