Jane's Walk Halifax is coming up next weekend (May 3-4). If you haven't heard of Jane's Walk before, it's a series of free walking tours led by volunteers. It happens the first weekend in May in over 100 cities around the world in honour of Jane Jacobs. I'm co-chairing the Halifax event this year and there's a full roster. You could go on walks from 9:00-6:00 on Saturday and Sunday. The complete listing is available on the Jane's Walk facebook
site
Of particular interest to forumers might be my walk through development sites/opportunities in Downtown Dartmouth, TJ Maguire's stroll down Barrington, Tristan Cleveland's discussion of public space on the Commons and Quinpool Road and Sean Gillis and the Its More Than Buses walking discussion of effective transit. The Purcell's Cove Backlands and the future of Wyse Road will also be the subject of walks led by the two community groups (bit more political). One I'm really looking forward to is the Behind the Walls tour of CFB Stadacona. It include the rarely open naval burial ground.
Hopefully I'll see some of you out next weekend (pray for sun!)
