Ummm... Hey @octranspo.com, doesn't cancelling three trips in a row on the 7 towards Carleton (the 5:38 PM, 5:53 PM, and 6:08 PM) seem like a huge problem? That leaves an hour gap between trips on a frequent route. Not pictured is another cancellation on the 3:56 PM trip.

December 1st is World AIDS Day, a day to honour those affected by HIV, remember the lives lost, share stories, promote understanding and education about the virus, recommit to the fight to end HIV/AIDS, and combat existing harmful stigma around HIV/AIDS.

Construction starts on Lansdowne 2.0 this week. Everything in this photo is going to be taken from us.

UCP AGM 2025, baby

We could cross out "snow removal" and the headline would be just as true ...

No longer waiting for a bus, now waiting for a train. Proud to announce the sequel to DUDE, WHERE'S MY BUS?... A TRAIN TO NOWHERE! Releasing January 2026! m.youtube.com/watch?v=RGKe...

The City has significantly improved its sidewalk snow clearing in recent years, but cost pressures mean they won't codify the change. Residents in walkable neighbourhoods should be able to hold them (and us) to account for something better than 2003 standards. ottawacitizen.com/news/local-n...

A “winter city” that has no pride, no care, no innovation cuz the balanced approach of austerity forever is the brain rot disease of #ottawa And IMO, this much salt actually makes it more dangerous and easier to slip/slide and skid when biking

I've never been to an Order of Ottawa ceremony. I'd hoped to attend this year, but I can't support the idea of being there when former Mayor Jim Watson is presented an award that he should not be given. It feels like I'd be complicit in something horribly obscene. 1/

#BywardMarket but with parliament outline. Easy win. Pedestrianize the market.

It is SO irritating to walk or bike past a chained-off stairway or bridge with a "not winter maintained" sign on it that went up on schedule on November 1st, with temperatures around 5C and absolutely not a flake of snow on the ground

Bahaha. They can't even run buses on time and conmunicate accurate arrival times and there's been an app for that for years 🙃 I'm pretty sure no one is asking for this 🤷 capitalcurrent.ca/theres-an-ap...

If you see someone asleep on the TTC and what makes you uncomfortable is seeing them trying to sleep rather than the current conditions that are causing more people to become homeless - you are simply not good at being a person and you need to work on that.

@helps.octranspo.com We really need to have a chat about your lying arrival times. People are waiting 20+ minutes for a bus that's going to be there any minute now. Just wait a minute longer... And another... Another two... Oh this minute for sure! *Ha gotcha!* It's now two more minutes away!

What passes for leadership in this city is truly appalling. Someone who sits on FINCO, chairs a committee that is associated with infrastructure, and is not a noob at the council table only should maybe figure out how to contribute to city building, rather than shit bombing other people's work.

Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

"The details of the bid ... can’t be made public under the conditions of a non-disclosure agreement the city signed in April. The city will communicate ... to the public only after the process is completed" Taggart contacted Sutcliffe's office directly with offer ottawacitizen.com/news/bid-eas...

Honestly I don't even know why I have an UNCOUNTABLE number of lights on my bike: front, sides, spokes, rear, helmet, a whole string of blinky lights on the frame; when drivers still just do their thing right through a red light without noticing it or me! This close to serious injury tonight. 🙃

OC Transpos projected budget is like $930M this year. It'd also cost about $1M to bring back 5m Line 1 headways during off-peak. $2M to notably make the service better. This is the City of nickle-and-diming things we need, while handing developers $500M because said businessmen suck at business.

Vingt rues de Paris avant / après en une minute

I’m pessimistic as fuck on a good day but this city singing kumbaya and holding hands and mainlining the “let bygones be bygones” from the Watson era theme song was, is and will be a mistake. Watson broke any independence in senior staff at the city and I don’t understand how they’re trustworthy

This bus was parked on the wrong side of the road, on the sidewalk, blocking the sidewalk and bike lane. I asked one of the half dozen cops standing 20 feet away to write them a ticket and he said "I prefer not writing tickets". And then just did nothing.

Enhancements like: - slowing down the train - removing 3.5% of bus service - removing routes - slowing down bus frequency - gaslighting us daily with BS

Just a reminder how little the city cares about transit The provincial inquiry found "OC Transpo director Troy Charter stating that he would recommend the trial running team use its "discretion" to pass the LRT on a day it probably should have failed" led to Line 1 issues. He's now acting GM 🤡

Tools in the toolbox for retrofitting streets in Ontario for active transportation after Bill 60. Let's get moving.

I make this augment a lot. You can travel to another city quicker then it is to get across 38km's within the city. A daily round trip, is the equivalency of driving to montreal.

Man who inherited his dad's company, mom's house, has thoughts..... (Same belligerence as when he wanted to fight people in the gallery at City Hall)

A bad day for Canada, and therefore the world. Ontario (population 16 million, 40% of the country) has passed new legislation prohibiting bike lanes that take a lane from cars. An escalation from Bill 212, which required municipalities to get approval.

Statistics provided to CTV News Ottawa show the city is owed approximately $92 million in outstanding fines for parking and traffic camera offences.

For me, the things that prevent me from going to Lansdowne is every time I see that wooden veil I think about the firm that went bankrupt as a result; that leads me to thinking of the other businesses that went bankrupt because they never got paid; why would I endorse going there 1/

Not a single one of the big pro-Trump "Canadian MAGA" accounts is actually Canadian.

A major healthcare policy paper commissioned by @govnl.bsky.social government from Deloitte at a cost of $1.6 million, cites research papers that don’t exist, making it the second major government policy paper called into question in as many months. #nlpoli #AI theindependent.ca/news/lji/maj...

Something seen at the Ottawa Charge game last night.

WATCH: If you really STILL don’t understand how car-dependent suburbia is HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED by downtown & all the urban parts of your city, please watch this EXCELLENT video by #NotJustBikes helped by #UrbanThree & @StrongTowns.org.

The City of Ottawa deploys pedestrian-calming infrastructure. Salt speed bumps by Sutcliffe.

We need an #ottbike bike Santa Claus parade entry full of decked out bikes

Seeing a tent doesn’t put anyone in danger. Being uncomfortable is not the same as being unsafe.

Bill 60 rally alert! Housing advocates will protest Bill 60 tomorrow at 11am. How about joining them and protesting against the anti bike lane provision or any other part of the bill as well? Bring your protest signs. 🪧

This story has everything: Ostriches, a guy named Papa Bubbles, a convoy. Neat

This guy can get fucked

Is anyone/organization looking for a donation for a holiday auction/charity? I have a piece of art/limited run print that I’ve never gotten around to framing (and minimally worth a few hundred dollars) that I’d be happy to donate to support a cause.

Why does this stink more than garbage? #Ottawa #OttPoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Reminder that #OttCity ph1 LRT only got 3 washrooms at 13 ph1 stations; 2 (each end) forced on city by prov and 1 at Bayview due to advocacy; 1 was added at Line 2; AFAIK there are none added to rest of ph2; most are closed more often than open. This is a gender and equity issue. 1/

There's a name for it. Marksplaining.

Mayor Sutcliffe, the City Manager and Councillors routinely stated that Ottawa only had one choice: Lansdowne 2.0 or economic ruin. They also falsely suggested that the only option that would meet the Charge's needs was to build an even larger arena for $100 million more. 2/

"Smith and her government are weaponizing a little-used piece of the Charter and a pile of debunked science and outright lies about trans people to make the case that their laws are actually about protecting kids," writes @melwoods.me

Since when has the city's information account just become Sutcliffe's mouthpiece? How is this allowed by council @arieltroster.com @shawnmenard.bsky.social @jleiper.bsky.social @rawlson.bsky.social @lainejohnson.bsky.social
