In an article in the @centretownbuzz, my local community paper, about a gap in funding for infrastructure reveal was the epitaph of western civilization: "The 100-year storm is occurring much more frequently."

Do you support motorists speeding in school zones & safety zones?
Your govt limits where this technology can be used.
Your govt insists on advance notice signage.
In Ottawa, all revenues go back in to road safety programs.
The Police have limited resources to enforce speed limits

Seriously, why is every second OC Transpo bus a sonic assault to ride? Loose panels, loose seats, loose windows, loose support bars, loos loose loose rattling banging sonic torture.

A reminder that in 2018, the Ontario government spent over $230m to scrap hundreds of millions of watts of reliable, green, made-in-Ontario energy projects that would be providing clean, fossil-free power to the electrical grid right now.

This is no small uptick on project costs and should force a re-vote on L.2 by this Council. This project is too costly for taxpayers (now north of 1/2 billion$) & benefits a private for-profit sports company (OSEG). #ottcity

"How can backyard cottage-builders and do-gooder neighbors make a dent in a housing problem so vast?" this feature asks. Strong Towns and friends such as @newurbanism, Inc Development Alliance, and more are supplying answers. And people are taking action. buff.ly/3ViSWQI

By building great places to cycle, the Dutch have built great places to live.
Reimagining their streets as living rooms rather than corridors, by reducing the dominance of cars in cities.
Accessible, social, prosperous places that benefit every resident—not just those on bikes.

Do you understand development charges? Do you know they are regulated by your government? Do you know that they are to recover the costs of providing new infrastructure to support new housing? Do you think DCs should be subsidized? If so by whom? #onpoli

The greatest humans project a presence. I was in Ottawa airport the other day and saw a very dignified elderly woman striding past. It was just a moment, but she seized my attention. As it turns out, yes, 90 yr old Jane Goodall was in town. cbc.ca/news/politics/jane-go…

Diane Deans has dedicated her energies to the Ottawa community for decades. She was political but not partisan and would work with anyone if it made Ottawa better. She could also take bold action. Sorry I never got to vote for her as Mayor. Thanks Diane. cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/lo…

Year after year and block after block, the famously mean streets of New York City—which make up a quarter of its land mass—are gradually being tamed.
Cycling has gone from a marginal to mainstream mode of travel, and countless pavements have been transformed into vibrant plazas.
