Be a friend we're all in this together!
One way or another we will beat this, as long as we can stay respectful and united together.

If we give in to the chaos of this circus, it will be extraordinarily hard to stop the change.

Support each other and endure.

It's happening 😂
So much excitement.
Holy mother of god - a paving company is setting up mere feet away from the Bank Street Traffic Pylons.

In remembrance. For peace is transient and conflict is inevitable, we must always remember the cost and the humans behind it.

But we CAN'T bury the equipment because that would cost money 😂
I already knew to hate when utilities are installed in the middle of the sidewalk, but I didn’t realize the consequences for winter accessibility—i.e., since plows can’t make it through, they plow these spots poorly. All to maximize space for #Autowa. #OttWalk #OttRoll

🍿 I wonder what it's magically going to turn into next 🍿
The sidewalks under the Bank Street 417 underpass seem to be a magnet for random pedestrian obstacles. First it was the two seemingly permanent traffic cones on the western side (also pictured here) and now it’s a portable toilet on the eastern side.

I’m happy to say that we worked with the city and OC transpo to install two new bus stops on Main St at Centennial. They are temporary now and permanent next spring. This cuts walking distance significantly and better connects up with the General Hospital. #Ottawa #Ottcity

Weather update. It's looking less than 1 cm now. Snow will spawn out of the ether to our near West and then make its way to us about 2 hours later. First impact on our borders at 4, downtown closer to 4:30-5.

This is great. We need this for #Autowa.

I mean only 200 that's good for Toronto. 137 to 160ish is its daily average.

I wonder what #Ottawa scored yesterday.

"98 kicked everyone off at south keys and told us to take the next one"

I'm sure we're going to get a lot of this today as the weather has changed.

OC "get out and walk" strikes again.

15 hours. Record speed 😂
RESOLVED, Line 4: Regular train service has resumed. All platforms on Line 4 are now open. 105 bus service remains available.
Thank you for your patience.

A winterized unicycle... That's pretty bold. I wonder how that holds up on ice and bad terrain?
Good morning to the person who passed me on a winterized unicycle (?!) as I was walking to the LRT this morning.

Coming up this week: November 13th (Thus) is Starbucks' red cup day. Show up early, buy a fancy coffee and get a seasonal themed daily driver cup for the next 365 days.

Weather update. Today's snow, which is light should start around 3:00 p.m. it'll be about 3 cm over the evening.

A neat look at how television news is about to implode with the aging out of the boomers.

Online news is still popular, but I wonder if, this tracks how people get to the online news primarily driven by social media.

Still. I'm glad less people are getting their news from Twitter 😂
A reminder that in the most recent federal election most people still got the vast plurality of their news from mainstream media.

So, as much as fact checking is critical, just because something is a thing online doesn’t mean it has to be chased.

Serious issues matter.

While the mayor is cheering half of L1 was evacuating in a blizzard. We are a winter city, but we can't seem to get the trains to run. #Ottawa

Transit easily moves the max capacity of those stands in the length of a soccer game. It needs the same "passion" as making money for OSEG.

The day after a snowstorm always feels like Christmas. You wake up, it's quiet, you turn on your phone and check the feeds. Rather than well wishes. It's everyone that decided to drive in a snowstorm.

In true OC fashion, they tell you to take the 105 instead of Line 4.

Then you see this:
"105 Airport ~ Aéroport: The trip is cancelled from ST-LAURENT Station 22:16 to UPLANDS Station 22:50."
