A great (but rare) example of a construction detour directly alongside the worksite, making it logical for all ages to follow. 🚧

The MUP was torn up and with heavy dump truck traffic in the area, the pylons and construction tape help define a safer area for 🧑‍🦽🚶‍♀️🚲.

When Doug Ford talks about signs being effective in controlling drivers' behaviour, I'm entering this into evidence:

Signs pointing out signs aren't even effective. 🚗

Love this project on Onigam St preserving the remains of this old stone structure, boat launch, green space, patio and a great view of the river and Centretown!

And it's a City project? 😲😍

The fine for parking on the sidewalk is $55 and in a bike lane $120.

The fine for parking in an accessible parking space with no permit is $500.

As they all impact #accessibility, why are they not all $500 fines? 🧐

Super smokey in #Hintonburg this morning from the area structure fire (not sure where it is). Wearing a mask this morning! 🚒🔥

Instead of focusing on carefully placing sidewalk and bike lanes closed signs that unfortunately don't improve safety and accessibility for 🚶‍♀️🚲🧑‍🦽 I'd love the City require contractors and provide guidelines to follow OTM BooK 7 provincial regulations to set up safe and accessible construction detours.

This comes a day after @en.ottawa.ca sent out email and video public safety ads to remind residents that "safety is a shared responsibility" around construction zones.

📣 As of 5:30am Trillium pathway detour is closed between Carling and PoW with no "detour of the detour".

I managed to push aside the construction cones and proceed through the work zone.

If it reopens, please share!🧑‍🦽🚲🚶‍♀️

Now for my rant...sorry! ⬇️

For the record, more trees have come down for a hospital parking garage and hospital that was approved for, and should have been built at Tunney's Pasture. 🌳😔

So great to see paid parking coming to #Hintonburg!

Great for businesses to allow for turnover and great that the City can now start recouping costs from such valuable space.

What would be even better? Wider sidewalks and mobility lanes! Next step 😉

#Montreal again taking #bikeshare to the next level by adding cargo trailers! 🥳🚲

One of the many differences between Americans and Canadians - Canadian government will use the word "Toonie" in weather warnings. 😄🌩️

The best way to get to Bluesfest is by bike, of course!

And with @bikeottawa.bsky.social #BluesfestBikeParking it's easy and worry free!

Annnnd...the Ottawa River MUP is not blocked off this year! 🥳🚲

Also, I love having the Chief William Commanda Bridge, easily connecting us with the park so we don't have to sit in this! 🥳

Up in Gatineau Park today, and was reminded how lucky we are to have the wonderful (and SUPER BUSY) shuttle bus.

AND that people of all ages were on the car-free parkway, from infants to seniors, and everyone in between. So many kids!

It's on! 😊🎷🎺

Anyone going to Jazz Fest at City Hall, know that the bike racks have been removed with about 5 left on the opposite side of the doors.

So, if anyone is wondering where a great peaceful place to take a stroll - the field between Bayview and Pimisi stations is filled with wildflowers! Take a walk through there at sunset. Just incredible! 😊🌳🪻

The replacement for the mirror that went missing a few years back - Trillium and City Centre.

What do you think #ottbike?

There's a new parking lot at the Dow's Lake Pavilion! 🥳🚗🚗🚗

Sorry trees. 🤷

Our recently installed heat pump keeps us cool and comfortable with amazing efficiency, all financed through a grant and no interest loan through the federal government. 😎 👍

What if we did this for the Trillium pathway crossing on Gladstone?

With the flex posts, the goal would be to prevent drivers passing on your left when making a left-hand turn off Gladstone.
