-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- I'm in the field next week, so there might not be any sust-mar. Depends on whether I can find an internet hookup in the subarctic. Sorry. ~Paul -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Folks, I think we would be remiss if we did not mention on sust-mar the passing of Kate Carmichael. Since I never met Kate, and since I am by no means an expert in matters of urban planning, I will keep this brief. Perhaps someone who knows more will send something more eloquent and informative. Over the past few years, I have heard many positive things about the good work Kate was doing towards the revitalisation of Halifax's downtown. Urban sprawl is a problem is many cities. Halifax is no exception. We are assaulted by huge "big box" retail outlets, in areas accessible only by private car. These threaten wildlife habitat, hurt public transit, and cripple local retailers. Haligonians should be grateful to Kate Carmichael for the work she did in combating that trend -- in working to revitalise our downtown core. We will benefit from her labour and vision for many years to come. ~paul :)
