True, my apologies, I was think of the latest in Manotick where the person was killed. However, that said, the outcome of the injuries shouldn't really matter.

Contractor clearly ditched the trailer last night. Report was 12 hours ago, so seems like enough time for bylaw to address. Im guessing they saw and ignored or didnt even bother attending.

A cyclists was killed in #Stittsville last week. Seeing a trailer being ditched in the bike lane last night, I report to bylaw to have it addressed. File was closed. This morning I walk out to this. Maybe we should take enforcement more seriously on issues that endanger people. @glengower.ca

Peak City of Ottawa response!

@en.ottawa.ca Can you let OCT they still need to update the bus sign from the old routes.

Ride A Bike!!!

I solely blame you for this!

Remember cyclist and pedestrians. Road safety is a shared responsibility! 😔

Just want to be clear that as Transit Commissioner, you are okay if I do something similar for a Red Black game on the LRT? Bonus: Nobody goes hungry if the train breaks down!

The irony of this photo was the two people that rode by after taking it! People are adjusting to new transportation modes, but the City refuses to accommodate. This could be changed by Councillors, however one thing is clear they are all very afraid of doing anything that potentially increase taxes.

City of Ottawa policies are another reasons why people drive in the suburbs. Here is #Stittsville latest protected bike infra. It's the one on the the left of the cleared sidewalk. Why is it not being cleared?

"Snow clearing standards are different for the core than they are for the suburbs"

Clearly there is a demand if busses are packed. Just need the City and OCTranspo to step up and address it.

Took my spouse 2 hours to commute on OC Transpo this morning (normally 45min). Bus was half hour late and then dealt with traffic. The idea that Sutcliffe and Council are contemplating service cuts if the feds don't bail them out is fucking enraging.

Hi Glen, just following up on this. It's been two weeks and the bike lanes remain the same (actually more snow on them now). Unsure why the City is failing to act on this.

Driver behavior is very difficult to change, but a lot of this can be addressed done though municipal road design and investment in transit and active transportation.

YouTube video by Shifter This is the biggest barrier to more people riding bikes in cities

Love the quote in Shifter's new video. "I was just using my car as a winter coat" I see a lot of that in my hood. More time spent warming up the car, dealing with traffic and looking for parking instead of walking 1km to the store.
We need a fundamental shift in behaviour.

Not sure if this is obvious. But you should fully expect an American government run by corrupt criminals will attempt to interfere with the upcoming Canadian election.

Canada and Canadians need to be aware of this and defend against it.

City staff come out against anti-renoviction bylaw | CBC News After assessing whether Ottawa should implement an anti-renoviction bylaw to better protect tenants, city staff say they do not support it for a few reasons.

City staff will inherently choose the option that limits costs the city. Councilors are the ones that can balance other aspects of a decision, like fairness and humanity

Vote for people that see beyond cost and can fairly assess issues not just those that rely on City staff to direct their vote

Fairness for Ottawa Was Always Going to Fail Expect to hear that help is just around the corner, until elections provide the Mayor with the excuse to abandon this fruitless campaign.

“The City has made no attempt to put its own fiscal house in order.
It has refused to increase property taxes to fill its fiscal gaps…It also refused to cut frivolous spending, such as the half billion dollar Lansdowne stadium renovation.” @neilsara.bsky.social

This OC Transpo......

This irritates me, the catch basins on my street empty directly to the local creek, it's also just a waste of salt. What is the point of this behaviour instead of actually just using it in a more meaningful way. #Ottawa #Stittsville

Turns out you can't take an entire period of penalties and expect to win. Team Canada's problem is a lack of discipline.

@glengower.bsky.social is the bike lanes at the new Huntmar/Maple Grove intersection supposed to be cleared. Currently covered in snow and seems odd that they wouldn't be cleared given the purpose is to improve safety.

It’s not wrong.

Would you happen to have data on garbage amounts (weight or trucks) prior and after the 3 bag limit? The intent of the policy was to reduce the amount of waste that goes into landfills, compliance rates while good don't really tell us if this policy is working.

OC Transpo pro tip for improving reliability...
If you have a bus lane at your disposal, fucking use it. Bus is running late because they opted to merge with traffic as soon as possible. Despite a long and open bus lane. 🙄

To address homelessness, Sutcliffe says he'd "adopt a policy to offer housing and supportive services as a first step, work to increase transitional housing and "move away" from using shelters and motels.

Look how great our mayor came through on another promise!
