I run a map website of Ottawa's future cycling infrastructure:

The garage ramp makes it super awkward but we really need something in the meantime, the current set up was obviously expecting phase 2 like a decade ago already!

From the report on the impacts of the bill the city finds that the wording means bus lanes are allowed, but bikes are not allowed to use them.

Somewhat ironically this may help carling bus lanes finally be implemented 😆

I welded the collar so the bike is still usable so I am hesitant to get rid of the battery, might buy an old ammo box or something fire proof to store it in though

(Also Rad hid my review about the bike being dangerously poor design...)

I have one of these batteries for my Rad Expand. It stopped being my main bike last year though after the seat post collar developed a major crack (after the seat post had already collapsed on me the previous winter)

Rad made no attempt to make it right to me and I regret all recommendations I made

Looks like a temp cold asphalt for the winter, a shame they didn't extend that same courtesy to the cycle track and sidewalk

Hmm ya possibly, the water looks icy but I see green on the island

Huh maybe not, does this mean open all winter?

Good morning Ottawa.
Bonjour Ottawa.

I know this is a joke but man we gotta stop building schools on arterials

(and maybe even collectors, I don't think school busses arriving to schools on a local is a big deal)

I've had an Uber driver do that route, was gonna say something but I'm not confrontational

Percy really needs a modal filter around Glebe or Clemow, far too many use it as a short cut from Bronson

When I went the hotel had rental bikes locked up right outside the front door.

It was heavenly easy to get around, miss it!

Not as bad as painting brick but I was just told the beautiful dark green wood on my building will be painted dark grey this month 😢

Maybe if some bushes are planted with those orange poles to hold it up and "defend" them are planted bordering flowered areas as sort of protection to them

It's a bit late in the season but I am so tempted to just start planting along Scott st

With the recent changes to boulevard planting rules I think we should definitely pursue a adopt a boulevard policy

Hi Glen, super glad you're doing this. Could you estimate roughly how much time you spent waiting for the train / busses vs on them?

I really hope they would replace the whole path and not just leave a patch strip for the whole length, guess we will see!

Trench work for installing the cabling for the lighting project. Can't wait for it to be done, but quite disruptive in the meantime
