Everywhere you turn in Halifax this summer it seems you run into a construction site, and along with it, sidewalks that turn into dead ends.
For pedestrians, those dead ends are leading to safety concerns.
Carl Myers lives near a construction site and says navigating the maze of orange cones and detour signs on Bayers Road is a challenge for anyone, let alone users with mobility challenges.
"You’re very often faced with sidewalks that end, and in unsafe areas where you have to cross," he says. "You’re sometimes faced with a sign in the middle of the sidewalk."
