You can pretty much dump any sign you want into a bike lane provided it’s to let drivers know some information. This is Alta Vista North of Smyth. Both sides of the street. #ottBike #autowa #VisionSomethingSomething

Dear @en.ottawa.ca, the next time a large event like Nuit Blanche takes place in Byward Market, the streets need to be closed to drivers. It's absolutely ludicrous to invite thousands of people into one neighbourhood, and still allow cars.

“Why won’t the fireplace come one?” “Oh, the thermopile was only putting out 262 mV and I had to clean the pilot hood and scrub the residue off the thermopile. I got it up to 394 mV so the remote is working again. Also, I cleaned all the glass with fireplace glass cleaner, did the oven window too.”

People see bike racing highlights on TV or the Web and think, “That looks like a dangerous sport”. Except, the dangerous part is the riding around with drivers aiming to kill you.

According to a search there are, ~1,600 police officers ~1,500 total fire personnel ~450 paramedics About 3,550 in total* Sutcliffe wants to add 350 (~10%), but keep tax increases to 2.5%. *Don't forget about more vehicles/equipment. Where are you going to cut services for this Mark? #ottpoli

His 2.5% tax increases are not covering police budget increases at about 4.4% a year on average. 2026 was 6.7%? So what is the police budget going to be in 2027 with Sutcliffe in charge, and, where is he nickel and diming the other things we need in the name of “#SafetyTheatre”?

Shocked. Shocked, I say. How could this have happened? The water main there under O'Connor Street is only 123 years old (1903). Practically brand new! /s I'm sure the city was hoping to kick that can down the road for at least another decade. It's not even on the planned 5 year construction map.
