To quote the fantastic Bruce Dickinson song “Cadillac Gas Mask”, I’d like to send love to all those people who “get of your cars and take a walk on the street”.
There’s nothing I love more in Halifax then taking a walk around town and have the smile on my face grow as I see more and more people using their feet, laughing, and enjoying each others’ company. It beats having “your pedal to the metal and you’re getting nowhere” way of getting around sometimes. —Scott M.

One thing I really miss about Halifax. They could really use fewer cars and more pedestrians here in Edmonton, though being a ped can be a bit tricky in most parts here sometimes! They don’t call it Deadmonton for nothing.
