Don’t park in the bike lane, don’t slow-roll your car at me when I’m crossing the street

Ask me about HK3RS
Careful what you ask for

I hear they’re fixing to open up the doors on this place

Be careful what you wish for, the alternative may be to open the doors of this place

Is it here?

You must’ve been dropped as an infant if you believe this type of thinking will ever percolate to #Autowa … where creating a transit lane causes a loss of throughput, because (apparently) cars = people

Found in one of the new hospital’s Transportation Impact Assessment documents

So … if #OttCity decides to put in a transit priority lane the outcome is considered to be “worse”?

How so?

Obv, the authors are equating “vehicles” with “people”

In fact, the overall throughput (people) would improve

Even the addition of curbing won’t keep #Autowa from driving wherever TF they want

Hong Kong the same

What surprised me about the city was how much green space there is … much of it laced with hiking trails

And often … seemingly in the middle of nowhere … a clean public toilet

A lesson for the Alto consortium?

Head’s up #OttBike

Some construction work taking place in Gatineau Park near Bourgeois Lk

Heavy trucks are using FLP to get up and down

Not sure what’s up or how long it will continue

Trucks were giving good space, but use extra care if you’re riding downhill on FLP

Spotted at Elgin/Pretoria at QED. Is this new?

Didn’t seem to make any difference to the four drivers I saw wheel right through the red light making their right turns (on red) from QED on to Pretoria

They barely slowed down

This camera could smash records!

Crossing the street in Ottawa

Always a thrill!

Nope … not buying … will make my own

Dear @en.ottawa.ca

Could you please take down the “No Left Turn” signs at the corner of Elgin and Cooper?

Drivers routinely ignore it and there’s never any enforcement

Which effectively renders the sign to “useless clutter” status

I’ll get ‘im next time 😂
