Manage episode 487606704 series 3670514
In this week’s episode of The Grand Parade, Coast reporters Matt Stickland and Martin Bauman discuss Halifax’s Integrated Mobility Plan, and Matt convinces Martin that it’s already dead. Why? Because of the way the HRM sets its budget.

And it’s making Nova Scotia poorer.) Three cheers for the sunk-cost fallacy!*Yes, the money is also earmarked for bridges and ferry services. But mostly roads.
