@mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social and his suburban lackeys have saddled us with generations of debt for something much worse than we have today 🤡
OSEG must be pleased they held their expensive fundraisers for Sutcliffe, they paid off. I'm sure they'll reward him in the next election cycle as well

I'm so glad that we have an OPS location in the market, so that they can just ignore the laws there as well, and park on the sidewalk.

Remember the weird Mother Canada statue on the east coast that Harper was promoting?

I wonder how many trucks have been driven over it. Deliveries, just stopping for a minute, maintenance, city, etc
We build infrastructure then destroy it by driving on it. Also, I'm very sad to see the fountains gone. They were covered up in 2016 and then ripped out with the reno I guess.

I took the train up to Montreal on Monday for the day and saw so many wonderful things, including these!
I always come back disheartened. It's like Ottawa is trapped in a different century.

I found this awhile back. Apparently the old stumps were visible for when the water was low in the winter. Similar to how the old Causeway foundations are visible today

We're very lucky to have such beautiful sunsets and organizations like @ncc-ccn.gc.ca that create amazing public spaces to watch them

Just another day for #Autowa and @octranspo.com parking on a downtown sidewalk when there's a parking space 10 meters away
@glengower.ca when will OCTranspo start respecting its customers and stop breaking the law?

Sunlight, stromatolites and glacial erratics! I love it when the river gets low and we can stand in a place that existed millions of years ago.
I also got to meet the fantastic artist who had just created this ephemeral structure 😍

I used this route, crossing St Laurent headed east just south of the 417 I to the industrial area. Cyrville wasn't a pleasure to bike on but it did have a painted bike lane and no on/off ramps to cross.
There's a pathway behind the plaza that connects to the rail trail. Not legal access I'd guess.

Taking a walk and there's the usual #autowa asshole. Parked in a no parking zone, on a deteriorating heritage bridge. I assume that's after driving down a bunch of MUPs in their truck
Our city is so far behind, it's like we're stuck in the 50s
Also why is there a bike detour here?

I usually go through the farm instead but it takes more time and I need to get off and walk through the POW/Baseline intersection and associated sidewalks/slip lanes.

I think looking at this NCC map its northern boundary is the O Train. Interestingly the news release only mentioned City Cntr to Preston so I guess OCTranspo doesn't have to give up their giant ugly pointless parking lot in the A1 block just yet 😕

Lots of spots between Pimisi and where the MUP splits a few hundred meters ahead have been damaged. I'm not quite sure how they drive around the bench and then hit the railing though.
Obviously it was the bikes fault. If we ripped out that bike lane I'm sure we'd solve it. 🙃

This bench has been broken since last year. Obviously a bike damaged it 🙃

This POS apparently thinks when you're hit by a driver it's your own fault 🤷♂️
Appears to be from the US but loves picking fights in posts about Canadian road safety.
