A bad deal and a bad process. The devil is in the details and when Ottawans read the fine print, he smiles back. Landsdowne thus far has under-delivered, not once breaking even. Therefore we must now payout $17 million a year for the chance at revenue neutrality??

You would think the mayor was being ironic here when he says that we can't acquiesce to demands of wealthy sports owners, right before he says we need to be careful we don't lose the other wealthy sports owners in the same stadium 🤣🤣

#Ottawa #Lansdowne2.0

Lansdowne 2.0 passes 15-10.

As a group dedicated to financial transparency and smart investments in community infrastructure, we had concerns around the reporting process and special financial treatment given to Lansdowne 2.0, as well as the lack of tangible transit improvements.

This photo of rookie Yesavage casually walking off the mound as future Hall of Famer and helmet-less Ohtani is still in motion striking out is everything. #WantItAll

So many pedestrian and cyclist deaths this year in Ottawa. A CHILD was just killed in Overbrook by a dump truck driver. We need a more urgent and proactive cycling plan in Ottawa to prevent more tragedies. How much blood has to be spilt this year before we get a sense of urgency to be proactive.

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.

Intensification and transit-oriented development are an existential imperative for North American cites, but who's thinking about the strip malls?! As it turns out, Toronto city planners are. Read my latest post here: kitchissippiward.ca/2025/07/18/t...

I’m reminded of how the city miss-used speed camera revenue on general expenses and police instead of spending it on road safety measures as they were supposed to. It is shameful for the city to claim it is too expensive to implement safer streets when they misuse funds allocated for it. Shameful.

Today Ottawa City Council is set to pass $4 billion in spending on our water and sewer infrastructure. This is just 2/3 of the $6 billion identified as needed over the next decade, and a drop in the bucket compared to what's to come once we get to renewing suburban sprawl. 🧵

This photo goes so damn hard it's not even funny.

The community support has been amazing, even among businesses.

If you live in Ottawa and ride the 6 or 7, please visit strongtownsottawa.ca/bank for more info on how to support. But the big two are emailing the PM, and counselor Menard.

We’ve officially taken over the marquee at the Mayfair to promote bus Lanes on Bank Street!

Amazing how much community support we’ve had for better transit @strongtownsottawa.bsky.social

This letter expertly outlines a lot of the dissatisfaction and frustration with the new TMP. Centretown Community Association doing great work as usual!

Visiting Montreal for a conference and ended up walking around Griffintown to check it out. The scale of the urban redevelopment there is honestly astonishing! The amount of new apartments, street redesigns, and greenspace is shocking. It is giving gentrified but I am not sure how populated it was.

Parking minimums drive up the cost of housing and incentivize car ownership.

Abolishing parking minimums is good planning policy, and I am seriously concerned about attempts to dilute or eliminate this proposed policy in our new zoning bylaw.

The NYT just dropped a bombshell: a foreign spa company with one location and no cash landed a 95-year sweetheart deal—based on misleading claims and a secretive, preferential process.

This gov't was elected to protect Ontario. Do the right thing. Cancel the deal.
