Let’s go Spain! Vamos!

Hi Gwen, I can refer this directly to the project manager for Pretoria to ensure this is looked at. Has it been happening regularly outside of the construction period as well? Can you email me these photos at capitalward@ottawa.ca and describe the situation and I can put in a 311 report as well.

Agreed. I’ve asked about mounting these. It’s a private contractor and it’s a constant issue in multiple areas across the city.

Great to see. On the audible signals, are they automatic (ie always activated during every ped crossing)? We have these on most crossings but they require an extra touch/hold of the button. In Capital Ward we’ve eliminated the beg buttons on TMS roadways where we could get buy in (Bank, Main)

I have asked for their removal and that proper detours be set up where appropriate. Working on this.

These images of First Nations community members evacuating Collins, Ontario on motorboats are absolutely surreal www.facebook.com/reel/1548244...

Ottawa Public Health has a map of where to cool off during this extreme heat. Climate change extreme weather is the greatest threat facing the City of Ottawa and it must be made a bigger priority by all orders of government. ottawapublichealth.ca/en/public-heal…

RTO 4-5 will go down as one of the worst, most expensive, anti productivity City of Ottawa and Federal government decisions

Let’s gooooo Belgium

Saying I’m not willing to prioritize safety over a tiny bit of convenience is untrue and is flaming in my view. I work on issues in good faith but I find these days there is very little grace and it’s directed in a really negative way. I get it, things could be much better in this city.

Greenfield is a truck route. It didn’t allow two trucks to turn at the same time and affected many other road users hence the complaints. No rights on red remain. The island was not intuitive but thinner protection is needed here and should be installed by the city. Could use help not flaming.

Protected intersections that function well, and protect vulnerable users and don’t elicit a ton of daily resident complaints would be best for the cause we all try to advance. And it would be great if you emailed the city so we can work on this.

Yes this issue needs to be worked on and yes we just add a massive amount of bike lanes, and wider sidewalks and connectivity here. Some perspective would be fantastic

Also, we just added a massive amount of safe, connected bike lanes here. On greenfield, main, at Colonel By. One outstanding issues (which yes needed to be adjusted for radius and response to everyday complaints) still needs to be addressed.

Our office asked for it to be thinned out with continued protection so that we could respond to the daily complaints. Clearly there is more to do here.

The island was receiving complaints every day.

city staff would likely say they did consider it, and that they are actively monitoring this. My view is we need a pin curb added here.

I mean there are a massive amount of infrastructure projects taking place in the ward. On Main and Greenfield and Colonel By we have added so much new active transportation connectivity, and when one part of it isn’t ideal for whatever reason, we hear about that one part and try to fix it.
