Halifax council puts off its decision on bike network alternatives

Councillors deferred action so two transportation committees can hear a report on alternatives first. Coun. Sean Cleary says an informed decision needs feedback from the people who will use the network.

Expected cost

85 $ million

The network is now expected to cost $85 million, up from $25 million when the project began.

"Those committees open the door to redesign, which opened the door to increase costs, which open the doors to delay."

— Mayor Andy Fillmore

What's next

Work isn't expected until 2028, so the committee review is not expected to delay the project.
