@HoussamElokda no it doesn’t eliminate the stop, that’s the point, there is no need for a stop there! just a well designed, somewhat wider sidewalk with seats, bike lane protection and NO stop is what’s needed there

[TEAL @hfxTEAL]

great aspects! 1)widen sidewalk 2)provide seating 3)make it colourful; 4)experiment with urban design

bad aspects! 1)eliminate bus stop here, next stops only half block away
2)don’t use long articulated buses, especially 6pm Sunday 3)design for bike safety (overlooked here)

That's for one car with no financing. The average NS household has 1.6 cars and the average car purchase is financed over more than 6 years.

Reducing car dependency is economic development.

@neil_lovitt @DartmouthKate TEAL Architects+Planners’ extensive research on this topic shows the annual family cost of living outside HRM CentrePlan area and running two cars is an *extra* $10K - $15K per year, even allowing for lower accommodation costs. And that *excludes* the cost of people’s time.

I really wonder if the Cogswell project needs to have a broader district plan that includes areas not in the current study boundaries. https://t.co/NFb0Dhd8Sf

Canadians increasingly live in mid-rise, multi-family buildings but less than 2% architects’ awards in Canada go to that housing type! Let’s place design focus on multi-family housing! @RAIC_IRAC @AIBCconnected @AAA @oaarchitects @OAQenbref @AANBArchitects @NSAA1361 @jen_keesmaat

Most famous cities and towns are known by their public spaces rather than buildings; HRM has a once in a lifetime opportunity to make new wonderful distinctive urban places at Cogswell! How’re we doing with plans for that? @MikeSavageHFX @WayeMason @jacobisonit @Perkinsisit

[TEAL @hfxTEAL]

please pass on congratulations to all involved for a great job on Argyle Street ... we know businesses suffered during construction but it’s become a real PEOPLE PLACE now! @MikeSavageHFX @WayeMason @DowntownHalifax @ekisticsplan

Urbanists everywhere should support, learn/borrow from, & be inspired by each other, because we're all essentially team-mates. #TeamUrbanism

Our firm sadly had to decide to stop pursuing HRM projects years ago because of procurement. https://t.co/bC7bmzGArg
