This heritage building was a popular fine restaurant before a fire reduced it to just a front wall. The plywood hoarding is covered by posters. Plastic wrap flaps at the roofline.
Good morning, Ottawa.
How about we use some of the Byward Market money to make this site look less abandoned? Or even restore it? I fear we headed to another Somerset House, Magee House or Our Lady’s School situation. #OttPoli
@en.ottawa.ca good solution but what if tenants have only transit options? #ottpoli #ottnews #ottcity
It's 20 degrees and my Blair departing train has its doors closed and buttons off. And now the interior lights are off.
Yes, because of a fare reader issue I'm riding for free. Yes, I want to feel confident in ERO and the vehicle. #OttPoli
Today Council approved the immediate cessation of raising national flags of countries other than Canada on the city flagpole originally intended for charities and associations. Our citizens come from all over the world, leaving conflicts to become Canadians. We welcome all. Come to City Hall with proof of Mississauga address and pick up a free, full sized Canadian flag!
Hey #OttPoli people. Our city should follow Mississauga's lead and adopt a similar flag policy. Yes, we have embassies here. Yes, the feds do already provide recognition on specific poles.

@octranspo.com any estimate on amount of hours elevators being broken down on the system here in Ottawa? #ottpoli #ottnews #ottcity #accessibility
Has anyone briefed @mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social on Metrolinx's problems?
I'm curious what the new GM thinks based on his Toronto (TTC) - Metrolinx experience. #OttPoli
Facebook post by Ottawa’s OC Transpo, announcing they are thrilled to welcome former TTC head Rick Leary as their new General Manager.
oh no hasn’t Ottawa suffered enough already
Another new LRT experience: ERO announcing we can't all board (at Rideau) and forcing doors closed. He says next train is on 2 min but the sign says 5 min. #OttPoli
A lobbyist registry entry to ask who to lobby. #OttPoli
What is the average salary of those making these recommendations? Did any of them grow up in affordable housing? #OttPoli

Has this approach seen tangible results? How does it compare to treating the causes of poverty and despair?
Is this cheaper than the city fully funding two-three safe consumption sites in the urban core? #OttPoli
New from me @envirocentre.bsky.social:
Bike share is a proven solution in cities across Canada and would help solve challenges in Ottawa too.

I am so jealous, right? @toondreessen.bsky.social #ottpoli
Why aren't there any bottle or plastic recycling options at major @octranspo.com bus hubs (not LRT stations)? #OttPoli
"They will pretend to care now because we are actually doing something together.”
Tenants of 550 Wilbrod met to make demands of their landlord to follow through on maintenance and follow the law.

Diligence and integrity, even when it's challenging. Unfortunately, politics often prioritize popularity over progress. I'm reaching out to the Gloucester-Southgate community for support on this journey, and I invite you to join me in striving for better. #ottpoli docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Le projet a déjà franchi l’étape de l’«achèvement substantiel», mais une pénurie de wagons soulève des questions quant à la capacité d’OC Transpo à passer à une période d’essais officielle de trois semaines. #ottpoli
I suspect if the city funds these sites itself we see a better city than if we improve one parking garage in the Byward Market. #OttPoli
November 2022 @mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social Sutcliffe pledges accountability after LRT Inquiry report was released. Almost 4 years later are we getting it #ottpoli #ottnews #ottcity

Perhaps LRT announcements should be given as terms of council rather than years.
It still seems possible to open LRT West before the end of the 2026-2030 term.
No bets on opening LRT East before Oct 26 2026. Time moves faster than the train. #OttPoli
Oh, to know more than something has been settled.
Who is paying who? How much? Why?
LRT contracts and settlements are City of Ottawa's Area 51. #OttPoli
Illustration sur laquelle on aperçoit l’hôtel de ville d’Ottawa à l’arrière-plan. Au premier plan figurent un trait gris vertical et un trait turquoise horizontal. L’inscription « Mise à jour du Conseil municipal » est au centre.
Aujourd’hui, le Conseil a approuvé les nouveaux plans pour le marché By – un modèle actualisé qui soutient les personnes en situation d’itinérance – ainsi que l’achat d’un ancien hôtel pour améliorer l’offre de logements de transition.
