I'm interested in finding ways to ensure that Ottawa will have functioning water mains by the time I get old. It would be nice to have drinking water when I retire.
The 2026 Draft Budget is out.
The mayor was nice enough to instruct staff to include a donation link to help crowdfund additional revenue to make up for all the efficiencies 🙃
Who's gonna pitch in with me to make sure we have funding to repair water main breaks?

We're part of a group of organizations taking part in a rally this Friday, 8:30 am, against Lansdowne 2.0.
If you're against the cuts to affordable housing, the lack of public transit improvements, the huge amount of debt that will be taken on and reduce spending for other priorities, join us!

Today at the #lansdowne 2.0 discussion, Darrell Cox, the Glebe BIA representative, spoke about how they think dedicated bus lanes would be amazing for the project, and how it'd improve getting people to Lansdowne events. Glad to hear such support from the Glebe BIA on how bus lanes improve the area!

We heard from many groups today about the Tewin development. This is unfortunately going to be a development that further entrenches us into unsustainable sprawl.
Property taxes have not and will not be able to provide long-term support for these types of developments. We have decades of evidence.

Does someone know the story behind this utter failure of a protected bike lane on Coleman St in Carleton Place?
How was this approved?

I head again today from Ottawa By-law, they're no longer accepting reports for illegal driveway expansions or hardscaping or front yard parking. Apparently there are only 4 officers for these zoning issues and there are far too many reports than they can keep up with. They need more resources.

Is it a crime to bike on the MUP when the parkway is open to people/closed to cars?
Probably.
Probably.
