They rebuilt this corner shortly before 2014, and it took about a decade for the trees and greenery to take hold. Now we’re back at 2014. 🙃

Streets are for people.

With the Ottawa Police’s abysmal approach to traffic enforcement and the justice system’s extremely lax sentencing for dangerous driving, it’s no wonder stop signs have become nearly meaningless. We need better street design, like raised crossings at intersections, to change driver behaviour.

You’re not seeing the bigger picture. If we just design everything around making it as easy as possible for cars to get from A to B as fast as possible and with absolutely no regard for other people, we can save a few seconds driving while making it worse for everyone else. Isn’t that beautiful?

Let’s make sure that this destruction of a park and public art leads to Mark Sutcliffe being a one-term mayor.

No car, no problem.

Construction starts on Lansdowne 2.0 this week. Everything in this photo is going to be taken from us.

Walked by this evening. It is indeed still there.

There’s light rain in #Ottawa today. That means that, at many crosswalks, water is pooling where the sidewalk dips down to meet the road. It’s worse when snowbanks form in winter. Raised crossings should be standard on all side streets where a stop-sign exists. This is one of many reasons why.

Pin curbs are finally being installed on Lees Avenue. This will go a long way to improve safety and reduce speeding. @bikeottawa.bsky.social
