The illegal parking lot on Bank@Florence is still thriving with no enforcement

There's no driveway so #Autowa is deliberately driving over the curb and sidewalk 🤷

Public transit is a shambles, infrastructure investments are focused on building wider roads that put the lives of pedestrians and cyclists at risk, and existing infrastructure is being poorly maintained, but at least we have the lowest property taxes among Ontario’s 10 largest cities

Attendance announced at 8,605. Largest (non-playoff) attendance at TD Place for @pwhlcharge.bsky.social so far! Just one reason I voted against #Lansdowne2.0

The beautiful (federally funded) War Museum, 1 of only 3 buildings in Ottawa to receive a GG Award in architecture, with broken, sidewalks and acres of road/pavement, crying out for municipal trees.

(Not a single muni building has ever won a GG award vs Edmonton which won 9, ½ in last decade)

Wow the cracked sidewalks with asphalt patches must be a big draw

You, and your "balanced" approach, are a failure

As I'm posting this sitting on Gilbert St I've had to wave down 3 drivers going the wrong way down the one way street 🙃

All reversed direction but two gave me the "how should I know" car brained shoulder shrug.

This city is crazy

Bank and Florence in Ottawa. A vacant lot that's become an illegal parking lot

A perfect #autowa /Ottawa moment

As I'm walking down Bank just now @ Florence, it's still a parking lot despite 311 reports

Then there's the well dressed dude pissing in the corner because the city doesn't care about public amenities like toilets

Big thanks @arieltroster.com for your advocacy

Pathways closed because of flooding

I was surprised to see cute little beaver out and wandering so publicly. Perhaps it's enjoying the warm morning and all the flooded areas

Come park at city hall while you get blasted off 12$ pints at Sir John A's, then enjoy a nice relaxing drive home!

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.

Good morning Ottawa! Welcome to our walkable neighborhood. Don’t trip on the shattered curbs, busted sidewalk, or stumble into the pole we didn’t bother to remove.

Thank goodness for lowest taxes in the province!

The kid and I have walked on this street probably hundreds of times. Societally we accept that safety is a probability no different than rolling dice that on any given day, too bad soaring you roll wrong one day. Oh you don’t like it? Too bad, we don’t care buttercup #ottawa

It's too bad we didn't close down the train for upgrades for like 5 years where we maybe could have done this.

This whole train/hospital connection oppportunity really snuck right up on us.

So I guess the vacant lot at the corner of Bank and Florence is just going to be parking lot now. #Autowa

Oh the irony of 1 man using a City pickup on Trillium, to paint over the graffiti tag under the KZM near Commanda Bridge, mere meters from a literal trash heap left by people who lived rough all winter.

Real tough on crime while doing nothing to help people.

Gawd forbid that you’d park this truck off the sidewalk (especially at school pickup time) … your tires might get dirty

The city has lots of tools to protect people outside of cars

Councillors like you refuse to use them and accept road deaths as the cost of a faster commute

Future of 24 Sussex Drive: While the government dithers, here are some ideas to fix it The official residence of the prime minister is a ruin with no concrete plans to fix it. We asked some architects to share their ideas.

24 Sussex: saving, conserving, renovating and deep energy retrofit would create a lasting, sustainable home for the Prime Minister and their family, showcasing Canada’s commitment to excellence, its past, and its future.

My early 90s home in Toronto on Carleton St. A 1930s 3flr walk-up with courtyard area between the 2 twin buildings. My "junior 1 brm" (L shaped studio) was $600/mth, with cockroaches and a closet kitchen. I felt incredibly lucky to have it

While the old facade is there the new tower is likely nicer

A driver ran a red light and hit this cyclist. That wasn’t enough for police to show up | CBC News A cyclist who was struck by a vehicle while riding in a bike lane on Slater Street late last month says he’s frustrated with how Ottawa police responded when he called their non-emergency line to repo...

Uhm …

239 cyclists struck in 2024.
215 cyclists struck in 2022.
232 cyclists struck in 2021.
150 cyclists struck in 2020.

(Assuming many more are not reported).

How is it that after 3 years @mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social has only managed to make our transit system even worse then it was before

You can't manage a paper bag, can you?

Who's being held accountable for the dismal planning and oversight of our transit failures?
