Bike lanes spark strong responses from residents across Halifax municipality
Bike lanes are sparking strong reactions from people in Halifax and those who live outside the peninsula. Halifax launched the planned 53-kilometre cycling network in 2017. It was set to be completed in 2022, but it is running behind schedule. It is nearly 60 per cent finished and its estimated cost is $90 million or possibly more. Don Hatcher, who lives in Bedford, feels there needs to be more reviews on cost, congestion and the need before more bike lanes are built. 'They're necessary, however, it doesn't hurt to review what goes on with bike lanes and the money that is spent on them,' Hatcher says. 'The reason why I say that is if you look downtown, for instance on Rainnie Drive, if you ever had to evacuate the city for a short term or an event downtown or what we do, it wouldn't hurt to look at the traffic congestion. 'It's just like any other type of review or best practice. I think it should be looked at before we keep charging ahead.' Liz De Angelis, also from Bedford, feels the region needs fewer bikes. 'I don't see that many people riding them. These thousand a day, I don't know where they're at. Not anywhere I see,' says De Angelis, who believes they pose a safety concern. 'They make me nervous because people are wiggling back and forth, you don't know whether to slow down, speed up or whatever.' Some Maritimers like Derrick Adams say everyone needs to have their own mode of transportation, but it needs to be in a smart way. 'A lot of people ride bikes but there are more people driving and why didn't they put them on the side streets instead of the main streets where there isn't as much traffic?' says Adams. 'There is enough traffic on the main roads already without putting more on the main roads.' Zach Firlotte from Halifax understand people's complaints but he isn't bothered by bike lanes. 'I know people complain about it a little bit, but I don't mind it as long as you are giving people the opportunity to go out and be active, that's great,' says Firlotte. Bikers like Gabrila De Olivera say bike lanes are all about safety for cyclists. 'I have been in places that don't have bike lanes and it's a little bit scary to go on the road, honestly, and I would rather go in a bike lane because it feels way safer,' says Olivera.

Three major TV series filmed in Nova Scotia set to premiere this summer
Giller Prize finalist Esi Edugyan, nominated for her book "Washington Black" stops on the red carpet at the Scotiabank Giller Bank Prize gala in Toronto on Monday, November 19, 2018. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Chris Young Nova Scotia's film industry is taking centre stage, with three major television series filmed in the province set to hit screens over the next two months. First up is 'We Were Liars,' the highly anticipated adaptation of the best-selling novel with the same title. It was filmed in Nova Scotia last summer and premieres June 18 on Prime Video. The eight-part series—based on the suspense-filled book that captivated readers worldwide—was shot in picturesque locations around the Maritimes. Following close behind is Stephen King's 'The Institute,' another high-profile production filmed in and around Halifax. The psychological thriller follows children with special powers who are imprisoned in a sinister facility. The first two episodes debut July 13 on Prime Video, with new episodes airing weekly. Also making its debut is 'Washington Black,' a nine-part historical drama partially filmed in Nova Scotia. Based on Esi Edugyan's award-winning novel, the series tells the story of an 11-year-old boy who escapes a Barbados plantation and embarks on a global adventure. Starring Emmy winner Sterling K. Brown, it premieres July 23 on Disney+. Premier Tim Houston, a vocal advocate for Nova Scotia's film and television sector, expressed his excitement about the local industries momentum in a recent social media post, saying the province is making the right investments to help it thrive. That includes partnering with Screen Nova Scotia to build a new soundstage, restore the Film & Television Production Incentive Fund, and create the Distant Location Incentive. 'These steps are part of our plan to grow the economy, support creative industries, and showcase Nova Scotia to the world,' Houston said. 'And most importantly, they're creating good-paying jobs right here at home.'
