Today, we examine how cities consistently overestimate the rate at which seniors downsize their homes while simultaneously incentivizing them not to downsize, and how this creates a shortage of family-sized homes for young families.

Yes. Here in my city, the mascot is Felix the Fox with his sometimes sidekick, Sam the Squirrel.

What if we called them "Life-saving lanes"
Only when canal has water.
No, I don't think the NCC permits the speeds we'd want.
Sweet deal!
Both of my buses had broken fare readers today. So that's an $8 savings for me.
Ottawa city councillor found guilty of impaired driving ottawacitizen.com/news/luloff-...
The City of Ottawa says neither city staff nor the Ottawa Police Service have the resources to manage a proposal to close roads to vehicles in front of schools during pick-up and drop-off times, known as “school streets,” but a properly insured third party could potentially operate such a program.
I know the progress won't be linear. A month at 21 trains doesn't feel like movement forward.
Happy Birthday!
Has OCT told us how many more trains they would need to keep today's minimal service if Stage 2 East opens before spalling issues are resolved?
Ironically, the worst part of the road is in @timtierney.ca ward we’re repeated failed repairs continue to impact safety and quality. I routinely drive 1500 km a month up to Northern Quebec and back and the worst stretch of the road is Bathgate. 2/
I assume but I never see them added. Duolingo typically is chatty about bonus points.
This is a good analogy. Very useful in carefully controlled settings for specific usages, but unfortunately being widely inserted into everything and used without training or PPE and poisoning a lot of things and people and we’re going to pay a tonne of money to remove it safely in the future
This was one of the first works of fiction that I read which took place in Ottawa. The first time I realized that stories didn't need to take place somewhere far away to be exotic. ottawahistoryhub.com/moonheart
We have about $10 M in forecastable sports facility infrastructure deficit. 6 new cricket fields is a tiny drop in the need.
I wish we had data showing if these patches last. Filling potholes is good. Needing to fill the same potholes repeatedly is super expensive. #OttPoli

It was either Portugal or Australia. Maybe both. They travel and use public transit but rarely use it here.
6 hours after arguing with a friend I am still wondering how they can think a canal boat service would help downtown Ottawa congestion.
Me too. I like easy mode. Well, it is easier for me for now.
Well, if you prefer hard mode on, go for it.
Australia's first contiguous electric vehicle fast charger network was conceived and planned by an unemployed plant scientist in 2014. Australia's fastest electric superbike was designed and built by the same unemployed plant scientist around about the same time. It me.
Ask what the North American Transit industry KPI is for uptime on customer facing IT systems. The city needs to contribute to and use benchmarking.
Possible groups:
American Bus Benchmarking Group (ABBG)
Benchmarking Group of North American Light Rail Systems (GOAL)
Data suggests family dramas bear a less than 10 percent resemblance to actual human families, which is unsurprising and also a relief, considering all the murders.
Hey, transit committee members, can you ask why @octranspo.com IT updates / service interruptions can be scheduled for 10 pm but they cannot be scheduled for 3 am? Or better yet, why our IT structure doesn't have a live failover setup so it has no downtime during updates? #Its2026 #OttPoli

From the interim head of @octranspo.com:
“It doesn’t work for me from a day-to-day commute perspective, but I use it as often as I can,” he said.
Me too, Troy Charter, me too. #OttPoli
