“We believe Centretown residents deserve a neighbourhood where children can get to school safely without crossing multiple dangerous, high-speed arterial roads; where everyone can access the amenities their taxes and development fees help fund..”

The #DevonshireBikeBus also had an #EarthDay ride today in addition to our regularly scheduled Friday ride. And I was thrilled to be interviewed about it by a young multiskilled journalist from the Devonshire Times (Grade 4-6 newspaper). #OttBike #BikeBus

Ottawa families launched three bike buses today to get kids to school safely on two wheels.

A motion comes to Public Works and Infrastructure Committee this Thursday asking that $10M be taken from a fund for vulnerable road users to plug a hole in the traffic signals budget. Learn more and take action! #ottbike #ottcity #RSAP bikeottawa.ca/2025/03/24/s...

Who else has a kid that would love to spend some time building bike/bus lanes with Lego? This sounds like it's going to be a ton of fun! ncc-ccn.gc.ca/events/healt...

The only thing better than a protected bike lane, is a protected bike lane with streetart and murals on the barriers.

4 -5 hours straight, have to tear them away from this. Kids don’t always want to be on screens, they just need spaces/places to live, grow and play independently.

Paris now has 200 gorgeous ‘children’s streets’ and school streets. They are pedestrianized and landscaped streets around schools - to mitigate crashes, prioritize walking to school, reduce noise and air pollution. This is what leading on climate action looks like. momentummag.com/paris-expand...

School Streets - car free spaces in front of schools at the beginning and the end of the school day to ensure safe spaces for kids. Too often traffic danger means principals spend their mornings and afternoons managing traffic. Ecole Trill des Bois showed School streets are an effective fix.
