Yea another day sunk, no idea what is wrong.
In the interest to not waste time I'm going to build out the public website Autowa.app and just "pretend" the app isn't forked.
If you have any stat ideas now is the time. I'm going to do the heavy duty DB design next.

On August 29, 2024 a motorist rammed into a group of cyclists. Police arrived & despite video evidence, charged 2 people on bikes for allegedly uttering threats. The motorist was not charged & was the only one who claimed she was threatened. She did not admit to striking cyclists w her vehicle 1/3

This is sorely needed to allow for a wider variety of housing, and to help make missing middle density easier to build!
This would be a great step to making housing more affordable!

Excited to see more discussion on single-egress stair (SES) housing. I started advocating for this with City of Ottawa staff in 2023 and recently started again. SES opens the door to more infill development and diversifies the range of units being built. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... 1/
How ‘single exit stairway’ buildings could make cities better and safer
Several Canadian jurisdictions are re-examining their rules to allow ‘single egress’ buildings

The broken watermain is from 1957.
For reference, Carling is from 1913, Catherine is 1899, Slater is 1875!
We are FAR behind on replacing our aging pipes, and council just this past summer voted to defer $2 billion in recommended replacements. Expect much more of this!

as it should.
'architecture' is a nice thing some people can pay, for all to contemplate.
urbanism is for all, regardless.

Tokyo is a city that makes the argument that architecture is irrelevant.
What matters more is urbanism:
The street network
The density
The freedom of uses
The clustering around rail

After a marathon meeting on Wednesday, a joint committee of Council recommended approval of a new zoning by-law for Ottawa that implements our Official Plan. It sets us on a new path for economic and environmental sustainability. View my comments on it here:

What a great thread
The ‘neighbourhood character’ of our stroads is unique
Bacon, in Ottawa for six days, was joined by Sir Robert Matthew, a renowned Scottish architect. Together they produced a 6 page report whose recommendations were largely rejected by Ottawa’s planners, who said the consultants didn’t appreciate local history or understand "the Ottawa experience".
