I've always been a supporter of the Bedford Ferry idea. Mill Cove has a lot of infill that hasn't been tagged for use (AFAIK) yet, so there is available real estate. The water is an unused resource for commuting in that area, that would place no additional strain on our road systems (and our rail systems, apparently).

I think it's a great idea that should be further examined, and most definitely be made to connect with other transit systems (like the existing Halifax-Dartmouth ferry system already does).

Council has always found reasons to 'not' do it in the past, but hopefully there will be some free-thinkers who will work towards doing something vs 'not doing' something...

We need to look toward expanding capacity for the future... now. Halifax is growing and will eventually be handcuffed by the lack of transit options if the city doesn't act soon.
