Surprised pikachu face
It is almost like we said exactly this would happen...
How many more injuries and deaths on our roads do we need?
These aren't just needed in front of schools, all of our residents deserve safety, and children don't only walk in front of schools!

This is insane, just as fares increase to be functionally the second highest in Canada. City Council needs act quickly to reassure riders that SOMETHING is being done.
Local media covered our GOOD NEWS story. It's an example of how a small improvement can make a big difference. Still LOTS to fix with @octranspo.com, but yesterday life got a little bit easier for some of Ottawa's most vulnerable residents. Here's CTV's coverage. 1/ www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...
Perhaps the most eloquent way I have ever seen the moral need to allow new housing argued. It frustrates me deeply how aesthetic characteristics keep dominating discussions about getting more housing built so that a human need is fulfilled. Shelter is a human right.
Councillor Tim Tierney is wrong about ‘Chronic No-Voters’ in his Ottawa Citizen Op/Ed on Saturday.
His opinion would be easier to take seriously if the comments weren’t coming from someone with a 15-year track record of being a reliable yes-man for every budget. 1/21
Are these "continuous improvements", or sleight of hand? Obfuscation, deflection, misrepresentation, whatever you want to call it. It's the pre-election budget, and someone's pumping the tires, but the tires have holes. That "hisssss" you hear is the sound of credibility leaking.
When much the City’s self-described “savings and efficiencies” include deferrals of capital investments as well as reduced fuel costs resulting from the elimination of the Carbon Tax, it’s more accurate to call it “cost avoidance” and “blind luck”.
A bad deal and a bad process. The devil is in the details and when Ottawans read the fine print, he smiles back. Landsdowne thus far has under-delivered, not once breaking even. Therefore we must now payout $17 million a year for the chance at revenue neutrality??
Don’t you know we can only provide corporate welfare to men’s sports?? /s
You would think the mayor was being ironic here when he says that we can't acquiesce to demands of wealthy sports owners, right before he says we need to be careful we don't lose the other wealthy sports owners in the same stadium 🤣🤣
#Ottawa #Lansdowne2.0
Lansdowne 2.0 passes 15-10.
As a group dedicated to financial transparency and smart investments in community infrastructure, we had concerns around the reporting process and special financial treatment given to Lansdowne 2.0, as well as the lack of tangible transit improvements.

This photo of rookie Yesavage casually walking off the mound as future Hall of Famer and helmet-less Ohtani is still in motion striking out is everything. #WantItAll
So many pedestrian and cyclist deaths this year in Ottawa. A CHILD was just killed in Overbrook by a dump truck driver. We need a more urgent and proactive cycling plan in Ottawa to prevent more tragedies. How much blood has to be spilt this year before we get a sense of urgency to be proactive.
We heard from many groups today about the Tewin development. This is unfortunately going to be a development that further entrenches us into unsustainable sprawl.
Property taxes have not and will not be able to provide long-term support for these types of developments. We have decades of evidence.
Urban highways are a sign of bad transportation design and a lack of imagination as to what that land can be used for instead.
Gentrification is a problem mainly because we upzone communities piecemeal instead of general upzoning/abolishing most zoning. No communities can be exempt from change.
Intensification and transit-oriented development are an existential imperative for North American cites, but who's thinking about the strip malls?! As it turns out, Toronto city planners are. Read my latest post here: kitchissippiward.ca/2025/07/18/t...
I’m reminded of how the city miss-used speed camera revenue on general expenses and police instead of spending it on road safety measures as they were supposed to. It is shameful for the city to claim it is too expensive to implement safer streets when they misuse funds allocated for it. Shameful.
Ottawa residents gather to honour pedestrian killed at Elgin and Laurier
It is ironic that we looking back to ammonia haha. A district cooling system could be tricky, since water probably could’t get cold enough to be effective, and it would require retrofitting many buildings but could be worth looking into!
Air conditioning is not as bad nowadays but the refrigerants you need to do the heat exchanging are greenhouse gasses and ozone depleters. It being electric is also only good if the grid is majority clean energy. It’s necessary in many places but no AC is definitely better for the environment.
It’s especially frustrating because the needs of those who live by and near the Market do not align with the wants of suburban residents. I doubt there will be much support for less cars in the market at those suburban consultations.
Ahh I see thats actually big brain
GTA traffic tends to add an 30-60min onto your trip.
It showed up on time for me but if you are headed to Toronto good luck 🫡
A map of Ottawa showing the small amount of 75 to 150 year old water and sewer pipe remaining in the old part of the city (180km), next to a map showing the 1800km of pipe laid down over the 1950s and 60s.
Today Ottawa City Council is set to pass $4 billion in spending on our water and sewer infrastructure. This is just 2/3 of the $6 billion identified as needed over the next decade, and a drop in the bucket compared to what's to come once we get to renewing suburban sprawl. 🧵
I am getting O-train flashbacks reading this jeez. Makes you wonder how on earth we ever plan to make rail good in Canada.
4 48 Busses all within spitting distance
Today there was crazy bunching.
In Ottawa its even more problematic. DC revenue goes to a general fund for a variety of city wide uses. A majority of it is used for road “improvements” and widenings in the suburbs. Not only do infill apartments pay more, but they forced to subsidize car infrastructure for suburbanites.
Hence why I dont support scrapping development charges completely. Any land use that will lose the city money over its lifespan should have to pay the difference in DCs. It would help encourage more infill development while discouraging unsustainable sprawl.
