Patrick @obike.ca · 04/09/2026The PoW and Preston intersection is almost complete. Unfortunately noticing a trend of the no right on red sign being ignored with often multiple light runners in a single cycle. Maybe needs a nearside signal on that corner. @jleiper.bsky.social @arieltroster.com @shawnmenard.bsky.social 582
Patrick @obike.ca · 16/06/2026There's a certain dramatic irony that we have circled back around to patio stone 020
Patrick @obike.ca · 14/06/2026I thought removing some asphalt on my driveway to expand my patio would be a quick job... 80 years of asphalt layers! 380
Patrick @obike.ca · 09/06/2026They added some flex posts, but haven't touched the corner they made unsafe. Will they be adding more concrete protection to the south east corner to replace the one they removed? @shawnmenard.bsky.social #ottbike 192
Patrick @obike.ca · 06/06/2026Since the straight cyclist movement and right car movement are separate I would actually like to see some modifications to the design that would better fit this pattern. With them being exclusive movements you don't need the zig zag for visibility. And you could potentially get that higher radius. 260
Patrick @obike.ca · 05/06/2026#ottbike @shawnmenard.bsky.social Can you explain the choice to remove the protected part of this protected intersection? You have created a huge sideswipe risk for anyone cycling here taking a right turn from Main. 5279
Patrick @obike.ca · 05/06/2026While I'm not certain it would fit cause it looks tight, it does appear that they included truck aprons in the drop off loop so it might be just the driver ignoring it 120
Patrick @obike.ca · 01/06/2026Speaking of, did you see the incredible new timber bridge Smith Falls just finished! 140
Patrick @obike.ca · 26/05/2026The cycleway along Preston st is being paved in it's new permanent location! #ottbike 1180
Patrick @obike.ca · 16/05/2026Picture taken seconds before I crashed my drone for the first time in 5 years 🫣 050
Patrick @obike.ca · 04/03/2026@gander22h.bsky.social Conefest at Preston and Gladstone! This one is a real party 🥳 291
Patrick @obike.ca · 08/02/2026I am in total agreement with pedestrianizing the Byward, lets just be careful not to gate keep events away, this was a great event with a ton of turn out. Hope this or similar cool events can become a regular thing for Winterlude. 120
Patrick @obike.ca · 08/02/2026Funnily, if he had posted a current picture it would be an awesome shot of the car parking temporarily closed to make way for a sick snow mobile ramp and crash pad. 120
Patrick @obike.ca · 24/12/2025Just hoping that what ever ends up there ends up restoring the north side facade, pretty sure it's still there just covered up Some pics of windows covered in the stair well: 120
Patrick @obike.ca · 12/12/2025Hi @shawnmenard.bsky.social Wasn't the phasing of the project done to avoid closing the field during construction? I know you didn't support the project, but if we were gonna close the field for construction anyways we could have put the arena under the field! hope we still have some teams left... 1110
Patrick @obike.ca · 19/10/2025@octranspo.com @somersetward.bsky.social We have lifted the bench at Pimisi plaza back up onto it's plinth that has been knocked over since winter, you can cancel work order #41656448 2163
Patrick @obike.ca · 12/09/2025I've had this as a long term goal for a while, trying to make it far easier to access information on projects. In the future I will be adding consultation information, along with a calendar of upcoming city consultations. For now I am focused on bike projects, will soon add all traffic calming 240
Patrick @obike.ca · 18/08/2025No link but here's an image of the plan at POW / Preston. Minimal changes happening at Carling until the transit project goes ahead 120
Patrick @obike.ca · 14/08/2025Corner of Columbine and Frederick. Just follow the giant silver monolith 😆 110
Patrick @obike.ca · 14/08/2025New park alert! The roof top park on top of the new heating plant at Tunneys Pasture has opened 1153
Patrick @obike.ca · 02/08/2025I'd like to see a little more housing, then the rest park like this: 230
Patrick @obike.ca · 30/07/2025@octranspo.com @gordonfoodservice.bsky.social @ottawabylaw.bsky.social A Gordon Food Services truck was parked on top of an LRT air vent this morning. I spoke with the driver who refused to move and didnt seem to understand the potential dangers. I informed nearby special constables, who drove away 011
Patrick @obike.ca · 30/07/2025You can also use some websites that will transfer your old tweets to bluesky, I think the one I used cost 2$, but I'm pretty sure you can do it manually somehow as well. Bluesky gives all the old ones an archived tag 000
Patrick @obike.ca · 14/07/2025Here's the city map, def Wellington until Vimy Pl before becoming Kichi Zibi Mikan 100
Patrick @obike.ca · 28/06/2025Confirmed, blue dotted line is the July 1 detour. Also heads up that CWC bridge will be closed June 30th 8pm to end of day July 1 110
Patrick @obike.ca · 16/06/2025OC is aware of this one now at Pimisi, wondering how long it will be until it's fixed, to add insult to injury, it's likely an RTM vehicle that destroyed it 010
Patrick @obike.ca · 19/05/2025Something I noticed while visiting the Boston area last year is how prevalent granite(?) curbs were. I suspect because they are more durable than standard concrete. Would be nice to use them so they stand up more against our snow plows. (also a benefit is them just looking absolutely awesome) 231
Patrick @obike.ca · 03/05/2025Sure free service weekend is nice. But I don't really care about the 4$ when I just miss the train and end up waiting 10 mins. It's time to bring back the promised service levels 1263
Patrick @obike.ca · 13/04/2025Np, visit while you can, definitely not supposed to be open yet lol 120
Patrick @obike.ca · 13/04/2025Heads up #ottbike Kiweki Point (formerly Nepean Point) is unofficially open today. It is wonderful, a bit hot in the sun until the trees grow in. But some nice shade under the "space ship" 3152
Patrick @obike.ca · 18/02/2025Dont normally post pictures of random people, but I had to share this one. We really should be ashamed that an older person with a walker has to walk in the road of a street like Preston. @jleiper.bsky.social @arieltroster.bsky.social I think its time we fund the updated snow clearing standards 130
Patrick @obike.ca · 12/12/2024Probably a temporary facility while the construction is ongoing. The hospital work will include uni directional cycle tracks on POW in sections. Where does this new facility start? 120
Patrick @obike.ca · 16/11/2024A controversial one, Earl Grey Underpass, has received some improvements, now getting a protected intersection at Didsbury rd in addition to the one at Terry Fox, and now also getting AT facilities in the underpass itself. 101
Patrick @obike.ca · 16/11/2024A new contraflow bike lane will be built on James st from Bronson to Bank st. This project will begin construction in the spring. 110
Patrick @obike.ca · 16/11/2024After nearly a decade of logistic related delays, the design of Carling cycle track / median bus lane upgrade project will get updated to prepare for construction. This project will add cycle tracks from Sherwood to Bronson and will connect to the Preston tracks to the south. 372
