A cyclists was killed in #Stittsville last week. Seeing a trailer being ditched in the bike lane last night, I report to bylaw to have it addressed. File was closed. This morning I walk out to this. Maybe we should take enforcement more seriously on issues that endanger people. @glengower.ca

Remember cyclist and pedestrians. Road safety is a shared responsibility! 😔

City of Ottawa policies are another reasons why people drive in the suburbs. Here is #Stittsville latest protected bike infra. It's the one on the the left of the cleared sidewalk. Why is it not being cleared?

This irritates me, the catch basins on my street empty directly to the local creek, it's also just a waste of salt. What is the point of this behaviour instead of actually just using it in a more meaningful way. #Ottawa #Stittsville

This particular stretch of sidewalk give the big middle finger to snow and ice...... for about 10 years.
I really don't know what's the deal with the City of Ottawa and their addiction to salt. The local creek is about 50 meters away so guess where all the runoff will go.

FYI chained stairs can be overcome by finger strength or a small pair of pliers such as those on multi-tools. Foregoing that bolt cutters also work! #TacticalUrbanism

With Ontario effectively killing safe cycling infrastructure, expect a lot of this!

I'm surprised that the city considers this acceptable and apparently has for over 16 years.

Design matters.

The all black paddle is done. Will let the oil paint fully dry over the winter and then urethane in the spring so it is ready for the water!

Ever wonder how drivers learn bad driving and road etiquette skills? Ottawa Driving School may have the answers!!! We have a 2fer.... 1) Fire hydrant block, 2) No parking violation and just generally the dick move by blocking mailbox access although technically that isn't illegal

Wasps are out and angry. They stung Marley yesterday, she didn't mind the carry home from the walk and slept most of it off.

Combining my love of painting and woodworking to turn an old rusty saw into a custom sign for some good friends. Metal is a neat medium to paint on.
