Well, what works for those who oppose change can also work in favor of it, so I created my first online petition in favor of the project. I urge any of you who want this to go forward to visit and sign here:

Please pass this along by any means you can: Facebook, Twitter, etc. |
What troubles me is the frequency of Councilors going against staff recommendations. I can see why there appears to be so much friction between the HRM Councillors and the HRM staff.
There appears to be too much resistance to change in the HRM - especially peninsular Halifax. I thought that the HRM long-term plan was to densify the urban core. However, many decisions seem to be contrary to that plan.
