Homework: How to fix Halifax's BRT /w HFX By Bike

from The Grand Parade · host Matt Stickland

Since journalism is homework the job, after last episode where I explained in great details the issues with the HRM's planning, I felt obligated to explain how I'd fix it. For this bonus episode I invited Kevin Wilson aka HFX By Bike and the two of us work through fixing the BRT. Over on his YouTube Channel, Kevin does this sort of thing on a regular basis in his let's fix video. Recently he took a look at the Halifax Commons. Check it out: https://youtu.be/iwIj95vOHpY?si=_mZ6A-pb-O1zzqkV In this episode, we talk a lot about pedestrian safety, and the more you look into it, you'll realize that crosswalk safety is mostly a convenient lie. Check it out for yourself though, here's what I'm basing my opinion on: https://ggwash.org/view/40788/traffic-engineers-still-rely-on-a-flawed-1970s-study-to-reject-crosswalks https://pubs.lib.uiowa.edu/driving/article/id/28343/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1369847821002503 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/332300079_Eye_Contact_Between_Pedestrians_and_Drivers https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0361198118790645
