Good coverage by @capitalcurrent.bsky.social of @en.ottawa.ca's problematic report on Right Turns On Red.
“I don’t think that there’s ever an argument to prefer momentary convenience for drivers over the safety of everyone else,” van Geest said. #RTOR #OttCity

On a dark blue background, there is light blue caution sign with an exclamation point in the middle on the top right side. One the bottom, in a text box reads: "Stay one step ahead: Scam prevention tips" in white text.
Stay alert for phone scams #OttCity.
If you ever receive a call asking for personal information or payment from the City of Ottawa, it's a scam.
We will never ask for money or your SIN over the phone.
Only give personal information through official sites and phone numbers.
So let me get this straight, this city's light rail that was supposed to fix all our transit woes has been running at reduced capacity ever since they found an issue in January..
.. and they think aiming for full service by May is acceptable.
And then they wonder why ridership is down. 🙄 #ottcity
An #OttCity populist playbook: “no one is going to take their kid to hockey practice on a bike in Jan from Carp to Navan” as justification for a “balanced approach” which means not building a network of protected bike lanes. These dog-whistle politics entrench divisive attitudes 1/

The problem with the Mayor's low property tax regime is what is not being spent on. The City's Asset Management Plans covering infrastructure, buildings & facilities identified a funding shortfall of $10 billion to maintain, repair & renew these. What is the plan to pay for this? Crickets. #ottcity
A four-story stone building on a street corner, a blurred image of an elaborate menu and City Archives notations for both. TEXT: Did you know the first dinner cooked entirely by electricity happened right here in Ottawa?
A blurred image of an elaborate menu. Readable text: The Windsor, Ottawa. August 29th 1892. Electric Dinner.
According to the Ottawa Journal in August 30, 1892, the Windsor House Hotel, right here in #OttCity, was the scene of the first meal ever cooked entirely by electric heat.
As we reflect on #Ottawa200, we use this space to explore the people and stories that have helped shape our city over time.
The next BIKE MINDS in Ottawa is only about two weeks away. We'll have four great story tellers again with very different stories:
James Lin,
Xiaobin Wang,
Mathieu Bouchard and
Samuel Benoit.

Le recours à des autobus privés pour mieux desservir certaines zones rurales d’Ottawa, dont Cumberland, ne verra pas le jour de sitôt. Le conseil municipal a rejeté mercredi la motion de David Brown, qui proposait de demander d’examiner cette option. #ottcity www.ledroit.com/actualites/a...
A graphic with Ottawa City Hall is in the background. A vertical grey stripe and a horizontal turquoise stripe are in the foreground with " City Council update" in the centre.

Thanks to Bay Ward Councillor Theresa Kavanagh for hosting this event to honour Ottawa's Winter Trail volunteers, and for sponsoring one of them (Britannia Winter Trail) - the one I xc ski on. #ottcity
Les «dépôts sauvages» se multiplient à Ottawa. En 2025, la Ville a enregistré 2089 signalements de déchets abandonnés illégalement, soit une hausse de 263 % en un an, selon le rapport annuel des Services des règlements municipaux. #ottcity www.ledroit.com/actualites/a...
The same folks that say they hear us but lack a backbone to make our city a community for everyone. Does a Community Association really represent everyone in the area? #disabilities #ottcity #ottnews
