Your City Hall was some wild, buddy!
Some good morning, buddy — this is Halifax, and we have stories.
Well now, my son, if you blinked this past week down at City Hall, you likely missed a thing or two, eh? It was some wild, like trying to catch a greased-up eel, honestly. We had a real mix of things going on, from the usual talk about potholes big enough to swallow a Smart Car, to some serious discussions about how we're gonna keep our waterfront looking sharp for all those cruise ships coming in.
It felt like council was juggling a whole bunch of donairs at once, trying to keep everything from falling apart. Lots of back and forth, some good passionate speeches, and a few head-scratchers that made you wonder what they were having for lunch down there.
Here’s the quick rundown of the big stories:
* The ongoing debate about the Spring Garden Road bus corridor — still some strong feelings about that one, my son. * New proposals for affordable housing development out past Bayer's Lake, which is always a hot topic. * And a big push for more green spaces downtown, which everyone seems to agree on, thank goodness.
It's never a dull moment when you're keeping an eye on the old Grand Parade, is it? Makes you proud to be a Haligonian, even when they're making you scratch your head.
Some good morning, buddy, and that’s the wire from Halifax.
