How do we use space in the downtown core of #Halifax?
Nearly half is private space, most of which is buildings. But when we look at the public space, we get a sense of how we can envision the future of the city.

Over the last year, we’ve heard a lot about #bikehfx lanes in Halifax, with some claiming that bikes are taking over the city, for better or for worse. But just how much space do these bike lanes really take up?
Bike lanes are less than 0.5% of the total space downtown (0.8% of public space). But most are just paint, frequently doubling as parking for cars. Protected bike lanes (like the new one on South Park St.) are just 0.05% of the land downtown (0.1% of the public space).
