This is true: and we should be grateful the @ncc-ccn.gc.ca does so much to make #OttCity such a liveable place. (Gift article) 1/ www.theglobeandmail.com/g….

A new Barrhaven? Study proposes massive shift to boundary limiting sprawl | CBC News

In the face of ballooning population forecasts, the City of Ottawa commissioned a study that recommended opening up an area of rural land almost the size of Barrhaven to suburban development.

Cincinnati has developed a Climate Migration Readiness Plan to absorb as many as 525,000 newcomers by 2050. It calls for building much denser housing, expanding public transit and decreasing the city’s reliance on fossil fuels.

In this great post, @brigittepellerin.bsky.social shines a light on decision making in #OttCity; far too often, we’re too timid to make a decision, waffle and then throw up our hands to a cheap and easy route. 1/ substack.com/@brigittepel...

Wellington is emblematic of the way this mayor makes decisions. Non-strategically.

It's been 25 years since One-Big-Ottawa was imposed on us. The world has finally taken note: this thing doesn't really work for urban or rural residents. I wrote about why and what's next. glebereport.ca/articles/ott... #ottawa #ottcity #deamalgamateottawa

In #Ottcity we will spend $ to do a shave and pave, leaving 50y old curbs and sidewalks in place. Then moths or years later we’ll come back and replace 1-2 corners at sidewalks to make them accessible and leave rest alone. Then we’ll repaint lines and a month later rip it all up again.

#Centretown already feels like a net into which #Ottcity is shooting cars like pucks Where’s our goalie?

Strong Towns Ottawa @strongtownsottawa.ca

Hey councillor Tierney, please focus on actual improvements to transportation in our city rather than suggesting we should be endangering pedestrians so you don't have to wait a couple more seconds at a red. Those right turn on red bans are there for a reason. www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

I’ll say it again: every park in #OttCity shoukd have a small building for public services like a washroom, maintenance/caretaker staff; should be able to host community events like this. It doesn’t have to turn a profit (it’s a public service) and our parks would be better maintained if 7/

Meanwhile #OttCity is fine with #Vision20Percent hoping for the best #ThoughtsAndSharrows

Safe Kjipuktuk @safehrm.bsky.social

We dropped Vision Zero as a goal in 2024 within a strategy which clearly identified who is being harmed and why. Adopting Vision Zero is a foundational requirement for harm reduction, sustainability, alternatives to driving and tackling congestion caused by car dependency

Nods in #OttCity 16-9 vote splits. Reminder that inside greenbelt is 13% of land, +50% of tax revenue and 50% of population yet routinely outvoted and underfunded; last new community centre was more than 20y ago despite overwhelming urban growth, DC funding charges etc
