Most wards already have a large number of home based businesses that I’m sure would jump at the chance to setup in their own neighbourhood storefront if invest Ottawa/City had a program to make it easier to help owners convert garages/acquire corner lots for this purpose.

We biked to Line 2, then took Line 4 to the EY centre for the rock and gem show. Kids had a blast and shorter headways really are a lifesaver. I don’t think we had to wait more than 10 minutes between trains.
I didn’t know Ottawa had so many rock enthusiasts.

When transit doesn’t quite get you to where you’re going, you roll and ride.
This becomes much less necessary when Ottawa has bike share for last mile destinations.

There’s a non-zero likelihood that many of the people complaining about speeding tickets being a cash grab have fallen for this Service Ontario scam, which is indeed… a cash grab.

Here’s the craziest thing about the speed camera rollout in Ontario:
They made munis install giant signs telling you there’s a speed camera in use up ahead. And you *still* blast past it and whine about it and claim it’s a cash grab? You’re lucky we don’t crush your car on the spot. Take the L.

Did you know Ottawa’s Health Sciences Gas Plant emit 1.13 tons of PM2.5 and the equivalent of 97 thousand tons of CO2 emissions in 2024? You can see the emission plumes travelling eastward on @climatetrace.org latest database release. climatetrace.org/air-pollutio...

I’m hoping these new painted lines on Anna are just to visually narrow the st and warm residents up to eventual grade separated facilities. They would connect to this planned bike lane at Tunis that currently dumps users into traffic.
