Excellent reporting by ⁦‪Arthur White-Crummy‬⁩ … I am deeply disturbed that #ottcity has not released the wording for the Lansdowne 2.0 RFP. They seemed to have learned nothing from the LRT2 predicament debacle. Where is the transparency?

This is important.

While billionaires profit from arms deals, Canadians face cuts to essential services. Canada is arming global conflicts and escalating military budgets. Standing for peace is standing for justice, equity, and the future of our communities. #DrawTheLine #InvestInCareNotWarfare #FreePalestine

When you think “don’t pave paradise” applies to sidewalks, but doesn’t apply to this; you might have a terminal case of car-brain

Excellent!

If #OttCity invest in year round cycling infra (and related) instead of the hundreds of millions we spend on roads we’d save money. Worried about your taxes? Start thinking about where it all goes and how we could do better, deliver better, live better.

What climate emergency?!?

Reposting as the heat warning continues and air quality declines today....

Instead of “building Canada” and “unleashing our economy” at the expense of Indigenous rights and the environment, how about listening to Indigenous communities, supporting environmental groups, and creating alternatives? greenlivingottawa.com/2025/07/08/s...

This.

This is what a year of #OttTraffic deaths looks like. This is the kindness and friendship and love we lose every year. To quote @catmckenney.bsky.social last night, which 30 people do you think #Ottawa can spare? Your friend? Your coworker? Your partner? Your kid? Your neighbour? What about you?

Saloni’s mom Rekha is in India, and relied on her daughter for financial support. When she heard of her daughter’s tragic death, she had to be hospitalized. Saloni’s friends are raising money to support Rekha, please give if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/saloni-ait...

An emotional evening in front of city hall as we remembered Saloni - a young woman killed too soon just trying to cross the street. Her friends brought a pair of her white shoes 😢. Safe streets now.

PARIS: In the last 20 years, 44ha of Paris car parking has been transformed, making room for wider sidewalks, bikes & buses (15ha), bike racks, EV spots, accessible space, & 2.2K new patios/terraces for outdoor dining. 90% of Paris trips are via walking, biking & transit. V/@villedeparis.bsky.social

The quickest cooling centre policy #Ottawa can do in this week's extreme heat emergency is make transit free outside peak periods. The buses roll full or empty. Nearly every vehicle has AC.

(3/3) At Council, I will once again urge my colleagues on this issue to make hard choices and demonstrate leadership commensurate with the scope and urgency of the climate crisis.

(2/3) Incinerators create perverse incentives to waste more, pollute more and ultimately increase GhG emissions. Landfilling, strict packaging rules, and diversion measures such as expanded repair, recycling and composting (made much easier and ubiquitous than those are today) are viable options.

(1/3) Tomorrow's meeting looks likely to take a step - not an irrevocable one - toward building an incinerator in Ottawa. I'd encourage everyone to read the full documentation on the City site here: pub-ottawa.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx....

Our next ride will be in Alta Vista on June 28th! Join us for a joy-filled bike ride from park to park to park. These are destinations kids want to get to, but are not always easy or comfortable to bike to. Our ride imagines and enacts a world where it is. 💚 1/2

The Chinatown Night Market was packed yesterday. There's a huge unmet demand for people first streets in Ottawa.

Gutting the Endangered Species Act, destroying environmental protections, trampling on Indigenous sovereignty: take some time today to learn more about the harms of Ontario's Bill 5 and how to comment by today's deadline.

Today!

Ottawa people — your invitation to fix this city. Early bird tickets until 9 May.

It is inspiring to spend time in that kind of future. Most importantly kids who participate get to see that there can be time and space where they are more important than a car driver (a rare experience for many youth today). Our cities will need to be ready for them. 2/2

I'm still buzzing after our great #KidicalMassOttawa event yesterday. Kidical Mass feels like transporting into the future. A future that is greener, slower, happier, more caring. It is a future that those who gather share and are actively creating together and in other parts of their life. 1/2
