As far as pedways, not necessarily opposed, but I'm not convinced they would be preferable to simply keeping the streets free of excessive ice and snow in winter. (Maybe with that wacky heated sidewalk plan). I've never seen a pedway system that didn't seem to be removing at least some action from the streets. The PATH in Toronto is something of an exception, but it really only exists in the financial district, where there's a ridiculous crush of people anyway, mainly concerned with getting from A to B than with spending time on the street in any meaningful way. Not the same kind of environment as downtown Halifax. Both the PATH and the streets are deserted by 7 p.m. |
Yeah, the PATH is a bit spooky/creepy past 7pm.
