The Chinatown Night Market was packed yesterday.

There's a huge unmet demand for people first streets in Ottawa.

A Black man just beat the record for the longest filibuster, defeating the record previously held by a man who filibustered the literal Civil Rights Act.

As the time ticked over, Cory Booker announced he did it not out of hatred for who he opposed, but out of love for those who supported him.

Really appreciated getting to visit Ottawa as a guest of @envirocentre.bsky.social. There's so much energy in Ottawa to make transit work better and to have transit be a bigger share of trips. 1/

6.5 acres in the core of Ottawa holds immense potential for transformative change.

Will these renderings soon materialize into reality?

What are the most effective ways to transform this parcel into a visionary community staple?

We managed to get some data from the survey of the Bank Street Transportation Study. It's very clear that most responders want less space for parking, and more space for better transit!

I have this theory that “Naturally Occurring” Affordable Housing happens when you build new housing and richer people move up, leaving behind timeworn relics for people of more modest means.

It’s time for Canada to import Japanese zoning, Korean and Spanish transit construction practices, Dutch road design, and Swiss building codes.

Let’s see some additional transit capacity in Ottawa:

Stage 3 O-Train extensions to Barhaven and Kanata?

Carling BRT/LRT?

Ottawa-Gatineau Transit Loop?

Bank St O-Train?

Rapid transit through Vanier?

Regional rail to Carp, Dunrobin, Carleton Place, Kemptville, Rockland, and Hawkesbury?
Some sort of infrastructure announcement at Corso Italia at 1pm today… might go check that out

Still alot of slow orders on the OTrain Line 1 right now.

Does anyone know the date and plan for remediation?

This house warming gift from a couple of months ago may have hit the nail on the head a little too much #otrain

Loving the new digital displays on the new O-Train Line 2, but I wonder if we can improve it further with some tweaks and connecting bus info #ottawa #otrain
