Half of Ottawa residents are within a 15 minute walk of the nearest supermarket.

As Ottawa adopts a 15 minute neighbourhood lens for future devs, council should permit smaller grocery stores where people already live, and increased density where supermarkets already exist

@_MarkSutcliffe I went through 13-years of City of Ottawa budgets to compare what the city had budgeted each year for 'Payment-in-lieu of taxation' and what was actually collected. Over that period $45-million more was collected than what was budgeted for - $40-million of that just last year.

@_MarkSutcliffe There has never been a deal for each level of government to pay one third each. You're making that up. The other levels of government have only ever promised flat amounts. They're not responsible for the city's poorly written P3 agreements and cost overruns.

[Patrick Bickerton @PatBickerton]

@_MarkSutcliffe Wait...Is it capital costs you're after or operating, or both? Btw, the transit gap in your budget was pointed out two years by a rival candidate. You can't plead ignorance after plugging your ears.

Be responsible, do the sensible thing and raise taxes. People will understand.

[Patrick Bickerton @PatBickerton]

It's so frustrating that people saw the shortfall in @_MarkSutcliffe's budget almost two years ago, and yet he's done nothing to course correct.

Raise the transit levy

@DevineSean This chart should be a referenced at every committee meeting's call to order.

[Sean Devine @DevineSean]

Every resident needs to understand this chart when it comes expectations of municipal services.

Submitted my first Freedom of Information request about Ottawa's HAF application.

It appears the city resisted adopting 4 units x lot but was ultimately forced to (thankfully). I'm not entirely confident that city has the desire to move quickly on this. https://t.co/XvuKLNJe1Z

@reimagineottawa 1/2 billion. Ftfy

[Patrick Bickerton @PatBickerton]

@ignorantsapient @_MarkSutcliffe Lots more docs in the city's reply. Will post soon

[Patrick Bickerton @PatBickerton]

Wonder which one is Ottawa's @_MarkSutcliffe

🚨 Housing alert! 🚨 After 3 months of dealing with Canadian bureaucracy Just got my hands on an ATIP dump of letters from @SeanFraserMP to municipalities across Canada, urging housing reform. A must read for all YIMBYS 🏠 #HousingReform #CDNPoli #YIMBY

[Patrick Bickerton @PatBickerton]

@ignorantsapient @_MarkSutcliffe Just got the reply! Thanks for the encouragement.

If a person is hit by a vehicle traveling 50 km/h, their chance of survival is about 20%.

Most of the streets in Ottawa have speed *limits* around 50 km/h and are actually *designed* (straighter, wider) for greater speeds

[Patrick Bickerton @PatBickerton]

@laine_johnson1 @SafeWingsOtt Glad the little guy was able to waddle off. Also glad you enjoyed the creek! 🦆

[Patrick Bickerton @PatBickerton]

@SjamieIt @UrbanThree Might be worth a shot at an access to information request.

[Patrick Bickerton @PatBickerton]

I would love so see an @UrbanThree revenue per acre map for #Ottawa. Sadly these data are not readily available at scale for a DIY'er.

Plan B is to manually do a few areas. Off to City Hall with my clipboard to collect tax data.

[Patrick Bickerton @PatBickerton]

@SjamieIt @UrbanThree I was thinking the same thing 🤓

[Patrick Bickerton @PatBickerton]

@SjamieIt @UrbanThree Ohhhhhhh. Was not expecting that!
