I think one of the big concerns in that location is that the area is quite exposed to a wide area of the river. If the wind picks up, especially northwest, then there's a big risk of waves exceeding the buffer.

The historic high at Britannia is 60.68m ASL (2019). The current reading is 60.19. So, yeah, it's dicey.
But much of the River facing property is in the 100year flood plane, so it's also not unexpected.
Yes. Well above the 'normal' flooding range. But less than the record floods of 2017 and 2019.
Now let's do roads.
Sisyphus, but in a more performative setting.
AM radio?
Seems like about $3.60 /month per Canadian? So less than a prime membership.
The NCC posted a few notices of impacted facilities and infrastructure.
Dude is enjoying his last couple months as leader. I think there's a lot of conservative MPs not looking forward to the BBQ circuit if he's still leading the party.
Yeah, I live in a grid area. It's great for getting around.
Ottawa River (just east of the River House) April 16th vs April 20th.
Not #ottbike'n on the pathway anytime soon.
Like what even is this?
It's not safer when you make everyone drive three times as far to go anywhere. They're just going to drive faster to make up for the distance.
Liberals who think an early election looks like a good idea based on polling data should look back at the polls in January 2025.
The Ottawa River Regulation Planning Board is forecasting a couple more days of increases (Gatineau Station).
I typically don't take a phone when I'm running, but always when I'm riding.
They just need to figure out how to get the AIfans to keep buying tickets and $20 beer.
There's also a professional sports team owner out there who's absolutely salivating over the future prospect of eliminating player salaries from the ledger sheet.
There be coyotes?
You don't keep your Tupperware in there??
No drive thru? Can't compete with Tummies and McDs.
He picked one. And he'll say anything to make sure cyclists don't get it.
He can't land the Gravy Plane at Bishop unless it's a medivac flight.
My VivoActiv 4 has that 'feature'. I think Garmin added it during a firmware update. And enabled it. And didn't make this clear to users.
Mine message my spouse half way through a ride. I only found out after she was texting me to see if I was okay.
Yep, some Toronto area swamp developer is getting a discount jet.
I did one recently where we went old school. Large format boards, sharpy markers, and post-it notes. It went really well and we got some interesting feedback, some of which we didn't see coming. So that was great.
That's because it lives at altitude.
Today's bike ride had snow flurries and a waterfall.
I'm also not sure the House of Commons is a glowing example of what a public consult should look like.
We often do a less formal in-person consult for projects. No presentations, just display boards and the consultation team available to answer questions one on one.
Then a more formal online meeting with a presentation and q&a.
That combo seems to work well.
I'm more interested in a heads up about the blind corners on the downhills, railway crossings, or wood plank bridges than an off leash dog that someone reported on a MUP a year ago.
