Cycled for the first time on the bike tracks in front of the Dow’s Lake 2500 spot parking monstrum in #ottcity. I wonder how the end result of this bit will look like. #ottwalk #ottbike

I wrote about sidewalks for my inner-urban #Ottawa suburban neighbourhood. So many people are strongly against them - wow.

The Ottawa River is flooded over the pathway in a few spots between Remic Rapids and Champlain. Its the floodiest at Carleton.
Also, the fresh batch of gooslings have arrived!

The new #ottbike / #ottwalk signalized crossing at Gladstone Station / Trillium MUP is now operational.

Don't count on #autowa drivers noticing this for a few weeks.

Doesn't look like the City is posting this graphic here, so I'll share. The River MUP between the War Museum and Lemieux Island, plus Commanda Bridge will be blocked off for Canada Day.

I’m sure others have asked them but I just sent an email to @en.ottawa.ca asking why the Open Portal data for collisions hasn’t been updated since 2022. A lot of CARnage has happened since then. How can we give suggestions/feedback on plans without data? How can we verify #Vision20PercentLess?

Ottawa! Vigil this Friday at 6 PM at City Hall for the (as-yet unnamed) pedestrian killed yesterday at Laurier & Elgin. Let's get loud about safety. Please spread this message far and wide for safer streets. #ottwalk #ottroll #ottbike

This Friday, July 11 at 6 p.m. the #Ottbike and #Ottwalk community will place ghost shoes in Marion Dewar Plaza City Hall to mark another senseless death from road violence, stupid red tape, and dangerous infrastructure.
All are welcome.

All the buzz around proposed sidewalks in Manor Park raises an important question:

Are sidewalks ecological?

Yesterday a pedestrian was killed in front of my workplace. It was very upsetting to witness everything around it. I dream of a day where we will not put people’s lives in danger by design. We know everything we need and have the means to make so that such things do not happen every day /1

Saw a patient in the ER that was struck by a car while riding their bicycle. They noted that they were not intending to make a police report because the driver had stopped and been nice. Mutual kindness is heartwarming, but there are reasons why making an official report is important.

Thanks @arieltroster.com for calling for no right turns on red in Ottawa's downtown. Something Toronto needs to pursue as well. #ottbike #ottwalk #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #VisionZero

Councillor Ariel Troster is calling for a Vision Zero policy that would ban right turns on red lights in downtown Ottawa after she witnessed a collision where a cyclist was struck by a driver near City Hall

“I think we’re all just shocked, frankly, because it’s a lot of road violence all at once”
Red-light right turns: Ottawa councillor wants to ban them downtown
Downtown drivers may get less leeway at red lights. A councillor is applying pressure after witnessing an accident steps from City Hall.
