When Doug Ford talks about signs being effective in controlling drivers' behaviour, I'm entering this into evidence: Signs pointing out signs aren't even effective. 🚗 #onpoli #autowa

Love this project on Onigam St preserving the remains of this old stone structure, boat launch, green space, patio and a great view of the river and Centretown! And it's a City project? 😲😍

In case you missed it today, great coverage about the recent bikelash in Canada from conservative politicians and what cities like Paris are doing right to reduce car congestion and improve mobility. #Ottbike

Pretty much directly out of the Fascism For Dummies playbook. "Make sure you tell everyone they are overreacting". Canadians aren't dummies. 😉🇨🇦

I absolutely love how this photo highlights the fact that #bicycles are #mobility devices used by those who may have visible or invisible #disabilities.😊🚲🧑‍🦽

The fine for parking on the sidewalk is $55 and in a bike lane $120. The fine for parking in an accessible parking space with no permit is $500. As they all impact #accessibility, why are they not all $500 fines? 🧐 #Ottawa #Ottbike #Ottwalk

Super smokey in #Hintonburg this morning from the area structure fire (not sure where it is). Wearing a mask this morning! 🚒🔥 #Ottawa

Carruthers contraflow mobility lane coming soon! 🚲🧑‍🦽😊 #ottbike

Speed cameras are an amazing tool for cities to curb illegal and dangerous speeding. Ford is not wrong saying that they can be a tax grab. He should implement legislation to ensure cities direct the funds to redesign those streets where speeding is a problem to make them safer for🧑‍🦽🚶‍♀️🚲🚗 #Ottawa

As soon as you hear "beauty and character of the neighbourhood" to oppose steps to make a neighbourhood more #accessible .... NIMBY Alert! I think a great compromise in this situation would be to turn these streets into pedestrian priority space! 🧑‍🦽🚶‍♀️🚲 No sidewalks required! 😉 #ottawa

The pathway is fully open this morning! Just be careful when crossing PoW and Preston with the metal plates and hot patch asphalt. 🧑‍🦽🚶‍♀️🚲 #ottbike #ottwalk #ottroll #ottbiketraffic

For all the urbanists out there, on this Saturday morning, have a listen to @99pi.org anniversary special. Roman's perspective on how to make cities better using little money: bus rapid transit. Paint some lines, reallocate resources. Easy and you move way more people around your city.

The Trillium temporary pathway is blocked off again this morning at 5:30am with no detour set up on Preston. 🧑‍🦽🚲🚶‍♀️ #ottbike #ottbiketraffic #ottwalk #ottroll #DetoursForPeople

Confirmed open. Night time closures of the intersection

📣 As of 5:30am Trillium pathway detour is closed between Carling and PoW with no "detour of the detour". I managed to push aside the construction cones and proceed through the work zone. If it reopens, please share!🧑‍🦽🚲🚶‍♀️ Now for my rant...sorry! ⬇️ #ottwalk #ottroll #ottbike #ottbiketraffic

This $28.5M project to create more car traffic in the future, will create more car traffic in the interim. 😂😭

For the record, more trees have come down for a hospital parking garage and hospital that was approved for, and should have been built at Tunney's Pasture. 🌳😔 #trees #Ottawa #ClimateEmergency #UrbanCanopy

So great to see paid parking coming to #Hintonburg! Great for businesses to allow for turnover and great that the City can now start recouping costs from such valuable space. What would be even better? Wider sidewalks and mobility lanes! Next step 😉

The new Ottawa bike routing app might be of interest to you and your constituents @jleiper.bsky.social @tkavanaghbayward.bsky.social @lainejohnson.bsky.social @lauradudas.bsky.social @seandevine9.bsky.social @stephanieplante.bsky.social @arieltroster.com

Today’s the day! The new mobile-friendly Ottawa bike maps are ready. Plot the safest bike routes on your phone. We’re a proud sponsor of the Cycling Guide app w/ @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social. Your donations helped us get to the finish line. Thank you! Download it for free now bikeottawa.ca/blog/

Adopting #VisionZero with a real plan to eliminate road deaths like what Oslo, Norway was able to accomplish is the direction @en.ottawa.ca should take. Whether you drive, walk, or use a bike to get around, eliminating right on red will make it easier and safer for everyone! 👍 #Safestreets #Ottawa

#Montreal again taking #bikeshare to the next level by adding cargo trailers! 🥳🚲

One of the many differences between Americans and Canadians - Canadian government will use the word "Toonie" in weather warnings. 😄🌩️

The best way to get to Bluesfest is by bike, of course! And with @bikeottawa.bsky.social #BluesfestBikeParking it's easy and worry free! Annnnd...the Ottawa River MUP is not blocked off this year! 🥳🚲 #ottbike

Up in Gatineau Park today, and was reminded how lucky we are to have the wonderful (and SUPER BUSY) shuttle bus. AND that people of all ages were on the car-free parkway, from infants to seniors, and everyone in between. So many kids!

This is a pretty extensive list of Canadian cycling cities! I find it curious that #Ottawa never makes these lists despite 100's of kms of recreational pathways and a growing network of utilitarian facilities. Why do you think this is #ottbike?

"Across BC, ‘cyclists dismount’ signs have metastasized as cautious engineers rush to absolve themselves of liability for the substandard cycling facilities they design. While these signs may please lawyers, they ignore a fundamental reality: everyone ignores them." bettercolumbia.ca/2025/06/27/d...

Anyone going to Jazz Fest at City Hall, know that the bike racks have been removed with about 5 left on the opposite side of the doors. #jazzfest #bikeparking #ottbike #Ottawa

Learning now that there was a Swimmable Cities Summit held in Rotterdam this year, discussing how swimmable urban waterways define the livablity of a city.

So, if anyone is wondering where a great peaceful place to take a stroll - the field between Bayview and Pimisi stations is filled with wildflowers! Take a walk through there at sunset. Just incredible! 😊🌳🪻

The replacement for the mirror that went missing a few years back - Trillium and City Centre. What do you think #ottbike?

There's a new parking lot at the Dow's Lake Pavilion! 🥳🚗🚗🚗 Sorry trees. 🤷 #Autowa

Why #schoolstreets have to be the norm. Adults just can't be trusted operating motor vehicles without restrictions where children might be on the street. #Ottawa #SafeStreets

Realignment of cycletrack around hospital parking garage. #ottbike.

Our recently installed heat pump keeps us cool and comfortable with amazing efficiency, all financed through a grant and no interest loan through the federal government. 😎 👍 #Heatpump #Heatwave

What if we did this for the Trillium pathway crossing on Gladstone? With the flex posts, the goal would be to prevent drivers passing on your left when making a left-hand turn off Gladstone. #ottbike

Build a resilient transportation system that gives people good options like 🚌🚶‍♀️🚲🚉 if your city wants to avoid this ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Seeing the Purolator cargo delivery bike in our neighbourhood this week was *chef's kiss*! 🚲😊👍

If so many suburban residents in #Ottawa say they'd prefer not to drive downtown, then why don't we build wide, uncluttered sidewalks, comfortable mobility lanes and efficient public transit so that they, and downtown residents can easily move around and get to area businesses? 🚲🧑‍🦼🚶‍♀️🛴🚌

Back in 2021, the @cityottawa.bsky.social heard from their consultant who said successful bike share systems are trending downwards and should shelve the idea. 🤔

It's been amazing watching chickadees being raised in our backyard bird condo. Here's #2 taking flight for the first time! 🐦‍⬛ #birds

When you have a degree in urban planning but don't really believe what you were taught. 🤷 Way to go #Haligonians in pushing for a more livable city and hopefully, a safe Morris Street will follow! 🚲🧑‍🦼🚶‍♀️😊 #CarsRuinCities #SafeStreets #Halifax

OMG. The @en.ottawa.ca is doing something AWESOME. 🚶‍♀️🧑‍🦼🚲😲

How many ways can I capture this amazing sunrise on the ride to work? 😲🚲🌇

What I wore while riding my bike today. 🚲😎 #BikesAsTransportation

Montreal setting the example 😍 Car-free streets = livability 🚲🧑‍🦼🚶‍♀️

Happy World Bicycle Day! 🚲😊 #WorldBicycleDay #Bicycle #CargoBikes #ThisMachineFightsClimateChange

What I wore on my bike today.🚲 #BikesAsTransportation

Debating if I'd pay $8 to park my bike at a secure and monitored parking facility in the #BywardMarket? Same price as a round trip on OCTranpo. Answer? I SURE WOULD! 😊🚲

Seeing a Blue Line taxi driver driving dangerously this morning while passing in front of a local school made me realize that #SchoolStreets should be adopted across #Ottawa. 🚶‍♀️🚲🧑‍🦼👍🚸
