People still want to walk around in the suburbs, exhibit #39562.

People are blazing a trail across the unplowed MUP, and you can see the “sidewalk” I snowblowed because our street doesn’t have one, it will be specially cleared least until the big plows come.

Trying an experiment in suburban Ottawa on my street, clearing a path with the plow as a sidewalk (which we don’t have).

Bonus, the sidewalk connects two multi use paths, making it easier to walk through the community, at least until the city plows come through to do the road.

Tools in the toolbox for retrofitting streets in Ontario for active transportation after Bill 60. Let's get moving.

I need to pick up a few groceries. #DriveLess

It looks something like this. I don’t think small everyday errands should merit this amount of energy use. #DriveLess

Sure, I’d love to come by for a coffee

Let’s go to hockey practise.

“I just have to pick up a couple things at the store…”

If people living in the suburbs aren’t willing to accept the housing density and mixed use that they need to be productive, the city should stop giving those communities any more funding than they bring in from taxes.

Until then, infrastructure and services should only be funded to that lower level

Last night, I watched the person ahead of me taking the 'scenic route' around a speed bump at Walmart. You know, so they didn't have to slow down while going up onto the sidewalk.

Whoops, looks like someone blocked off the outer lanes of Orleans Blvd 174 overpass very cheaply like we’ve been suggesting. As you can see, traffic was total pandemonium!

I saw this one a couple months ago and it was also on clearance and was very cheap and seemed like they were pretty damaged just from being displayed for a while. Glad they exist at all though.
