It’s truly wild how many people interpret new housing that doesn’t fit their particular need as new housing that doesn’t fit anyone’s need. Diversity of housing types is good!

maybe this is because Ontario Catholic education failed me but I don’t recall seeing a zoning map in the bible

It's brutal seeing our country go down this ugly path. We can only make our politics and our nation worse with this kind of nastiness. I hope that the electeds and senior staff of good conscience push back on this abhorrent behaviour.

J’ai eu l’occasion d’essayer le O-train d’Ottawa la semaine dernière. Plus confo que les bus du Transitway qu’il remplace, mais lent! 35km/h, et de très longs arrêts en station.

Just wrapped up reading David Gordon’s Town and Crown. Learned so much about Ottawa-Gatineau’s planning history. Cannot recommend enough.

Donald Shoup was here

Every time I get down on North America I go look at the crazy amount of new transit, housing, infrastructure, and . . . stuff Metro Vancouver is building and I get really optimistic

Running the Gatineau Tramway at street level is by far the best solution. It is cheaper, more accessible, and future proofs the system to allow for extending further into Ottawa, which the City should be pushing for.

Just swam at the NCC River House for the first time. Already one of my favourite public spaces in Ottawa. So impressive.

if OC Transpo is in fact reducing Line 1 midday headways to 10 minutes then I’m really curious what the plan is for when Stage 2 opens. 20 minute headways on the Moodie and Algonquin branches?

one of the most under appreciated aspects of bike share is that it introduces non-cyclists and casual cyclists to the bike network. Wish Ottawa-Gatineau saw the potential here.

all good ideas but will never be implemented until a new Ottawa River crossing is built. Kent is one of the main ways for vehicles to get from 417 across Portage Bridge. Ottawa-Gatineau needs a solution to get truck traffic out of its urban core.

The O-Train Line 2 and 4 opening in the near future is exciting but I am left wondering about the first impression visitors to the city will have with 2 transfers, including one with up to 10 minutes of waiting time, to get downtown

SkyTrain Millennium Line east of Commercial-Broadway Station on a very bizarre weather evening in Vancouver

ridiculous metric. All this shows is that Ottawa has a land use and transportation system that does not incentivize transit or walking for late night trips

can’t beat starting Friday with a bike ride

may have made a brief appearance in Uytae Lee’s great new video on public hearings: youtu.be/XnFVvyu2zGY?si…

Lots of evidence to suggest that investing in young riders pays off in the long run
