The Disappearance of the Public Bench Benches are microcosms of an expansive debate about who belongs in urban public spaces. When they are removed or made uninviting, we lose more than just a place to rest.

“Benches aren’t just disappearing from large railroad stations, but also from subways, parks, plazas, sidewalks, and esplanades…in the past decade, across the U.S., hundreds of places to sit in public have quietly disappeared.”

The Disappearance of the Public Bench.

support for a tunnel solution because of its more direct, seamless, and intuitive user
experience."

City councillor pushes for downtown public washroom plan | CBC News Somerset Coun. Ariel Troster says public urination and defecation is becoming an increasingly serious issue downtown

Building proper public infrastructure that can withstand the challenges of downtown Ottawa is expensive — but the alternative is unacceptable. Public washrooms are a human right and a basic need.

Ottawa reporting more speeding in school zones since cameras were banned There has been a “significant uptick” in speeding incidents since speed cameras were banned, a city councillor says.

This was entirely predictable. And now we are mourning the loss of an Ottawa crossing guard who was just trying to keep kids safe. Shame on the Ford government for putting populist politics over people’s lives. ottawacitizen.com/news/ottawa-...

Don't do it. We can't have a liveable vertical city with bad social infrastructure.
