Ahhh, they did seem a little different. I had never seen them before. Super beautiful! There was also some to the North but weren't as strong.

The @en.ottawa.ca needs to follow through with implementing new winter maintenance standards to overhaul the old ones that go back 20+yrs.

Six years of work went into addressing “pressing issues like climate change, accessibility and gender equity that were not considered in the 2003 standards.”❄️❄️
Deachman: Ottawa's snow removal standards are bad, with no plans on getting better

Good point. I forgot about my time living in Barrhaven 😂😭

In Ottawa, we are largely at step #3 and step #4.

We have gotten to step #5 in some cases, but I wonder why we don't celebrate and embrace those successes for some reason. Thinking of design guidelines for protected intersections.

What are your opinions #ottbike?

How they accommodate bikes will be interesting to see. I think VIA is supposed to open up the bike racks once the train sets have completely switched over.

Good point. I just love the possibility of moving between our two neighbouring cities faster than moving within our city.

Floored that there is a "sidewalk debate". Yes, we need safe streets where people are. 👍

And thank you for the work you are doing in Manor Park!☺️

Totally.

Oh man. Probably so true for many kids.

Didn't notice any new bike parking at Dow's Lake station today. Maybe the new facility was the Mooney's Bay station?

It is! But I don't recall any bike parking station. I'll have another look.

I know there is a brand new one that just opened at Mooney's Bay Station last week and it's wonderful!

Thanks for sharing. Also good to let folks know that your shop has these available. 😊
