Having failed to deliver LRT, manage it effectively or deliver on promises made, uploading will relieve the city from accountability; it won’t do anything for bus commuters, nor other public means of getting around (bike share, sidewalks, etc). And remember: there’s on 1 taxpayer. And it’s us.

The best way to fix public transit in Ottawa is to complete the upload of our LRT to the province. This is what the upload means to you.

A poignant reminder that Ottawa’s council and senior staff accept traffic deaths as inevitable. Its policy: ❌ Scarce funding for traffic calming ❌ No commitment to Vision Zero ❌ No political will to prevent another tragedy This election year remember those who offer nothing but condolences.

Some seriously big energy at #KidicalMass from the #BikeHfx crew today! Today was a strong reminder that society undermines the strength of our kids. These kids WANT TO MOVE! But we limit them so aggressively through poor policy & design decisions. Grateful for the organizers & marshalls!

Our letter to @ottawapolice.bsky.social regarding their refusal to provide crash victims w insurance info. Withholding insurance info from injured parties is contrary to the HTA & has harmful affects on peoples' recoveries, especially pedestrians & cyclists. www.thebikinglawyer.ca/post/ottawa-...

A net-good #Ottawa sidewalk story 🧵1/2 Good news: In time for the school year, new sidewalks! Used by 100’s of Broadview and Nepean HS students daily. Kudos to planners for 2m sidewalks, 3m car lanes, reducing crosswalk distance and slowing down drivers.

Looking South on Denbury Ave is a new sidewalk and road, measuring 2m and 6m respectively. This sidewalk serves a neighbourhood campus of 1800 students.
