It's me

In Ottawa 🍁, sometimes with a camera, often on a bike 🚲 always trying to live without a fucking car
A liberal MP is stepping down as a result of a car crash that has resulted in serious enough health issues to not be able to continue as an MP, or specifically the travel requirements… huh, probably nothing that can be done to change the requirement to live in #ontario and even be a MP…
Unrelated but… i don’t actually hate this on Woodroffe. Obviously not ideal, #ottawa doesn’t ever do that, but. It was really early. Not a lot of busses and I like to pull over when they come by anyway but the space away from people going 80kms/hr while looking at a phone is nice
The dirt strip sidewalk which would win gold medals for inaccessibility is then met with this. 30 ft of a pretend sidewalk that evaporates into thin air. On Hunt Club Rd, one of the main stroads in the south of the city of #ottawa can’t even get sidewalks on both sides of the road.
I had to take a video cuz, even me, as cyclical a fuck as you’ll get was a bit shocked. The other side of the bridge had a dirt path for 3-400 ft and 50 ft of it was littered with broken windshield glass I assume was just shoveled and thrown from a car crash. A+ city yo #ottawa
I went down into Nepean this morning and tried out Hunt Club this time. Did you know that the east side of the rail bridge on a major road way over an active rail line installed an extension for people over the bridge but didn’t make a sidewalk to connect it… Even I’m a bit stunned tbh #ottawa
I’ll wait to express an opinion at the new QED and prince of Wales / Preston at intersection redesign… But I’ll wager $12.57 that the parking lot will open before these bags come off the light posts. This city’s penchant for garbage bags on traffic signals is fucking hilarious #ottawa
What do culture and infrastructure have in common? Aside from the discussion around funding allocation for roads, visibility creates culture. There is nowhere this city prohibits people from driving. Nowhere, literally. 1/
Can anyone in #ottawa explain to me why the new section of Scott St east of Tunneys was built with that fucking horrid oscillating 3” curb between the sidewalk and where people are supposed to bike? This is the new work on Richmond which is just level between the sections
Hey @en.ottawa.ca apparently I signed up for Mark Sutcliffe's email when I submitted a city-storm related 311 request last week? Why is city digital infrastructure and comms being used to sign residents up to the Mayor's email, especially in an election year? Why is this even an option?
