Don’t park in the bike lane, don’t slow-roll your car at me when I’m crossing the street Ask me about HK3RS

I was walking by Somerset House today and thought to myself: “y’know, at their current rate of progress, they should be done in about 285 more years” Honestly, there’s been more movement of *GLACIERS* in the past twenty years than there has been on that “project”

As proud as I am of our country, I think the city could better use of whatever money is being spent on this by fixing the #LaurierBikeLane on either side of Bank St

Over the past 18 months, we've witnessed an extraordinary increase in Canadian pride. Given the punitive new tariffs recently imposed on many businesses in Ottawa and throughout Canada, I think it's more important than ever that we show our city and our country are strong and united.

Vehicles should come with two horn buttons One for if you really need to get the attention of a driver who’s about to drift into you, and another for “get the fuck off your phone, the fuckin’ light’s been green for two seconds now”

To the driver whose feelings I may have hurt by flipping the bird when they came roaring out the parking lot and only managing to avoid clocking me by jamming on the brakes at the last possible second: you driving in the gutter on Laurier so you could splash me isn’t the flex you think it is …

The QED/Preston/PoW intersection should have a “scramble” (pedestrians and cyclists only) cycle The no right on red is routinely ignored and the left turn light from Preston to QED aims drivers directly at pedestrians and cyclists trying to cross That intersection is going to be a massive 💩 show

This … some of the most danger intersections in #Autowa are the ones where the pedestrian “walk” signal comes *after* the advance left turn arrow There are some intersections where this is not the case (Laurier westbound at O’Connor) but those are exceptions when they’re should be the rule

It's fucking insane that our intersection signal system tells cars they can turn at the same time it tells pedestrians to cross that exact conflict zone. American traffic engineering is not a true profession.
