Clear paths = safe paths!

Branches and shrubs that extend onto sidewalks or streets can block visibility and create hazards for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. Please keep vegetation trimmed back from roadways and sidewalks. #OttCity

🥵 It is hot these next few days.
😎 Stay cool and hydrated.
🕶️ Find shade and limit your heat exposure.

Be safe on the pathways 🚶🚴‍♀️

In the interest of public safety and mobility, no portion of a vehicle may be parked on or over a sidewalk.

Stop over sidewalk = $120. #OttCity

[Pathway Patrol @Pathway_Patrol]

It’s cycling season. Are you wearing your helmet properly? They are designed to cover your forehead, the back and side of your head. It should fit comfortably on your head snuggly and not shift.

@ottawacity @OttawaHealth @environmentca @weathernetwork @Onstormtracker @SROttawa We help to educate and try to make the pathways as safe as possible for all users. It’s not an easy endeavour. We promote cycling safety, etiquette on the pathways and we work with our partners to improve conditions on the pathways. Our partners include @SROttawa and @NCC_CCN.

Hello followers 🚴‍♀️🚶‍♂️🛝. It’s another day of #heatadvisory. If you’re going out on the pathway, make sure to stay hydrated, keep in the shade where possible and limit how long you will be out in the heat. 1/

[Ottawa Public Health @OttawaHealth]

FYI: a heat warning has been issued by Environment Canada for the City of Ottawa starting Tuesday and lasting into Wednesday and possibly into Thursday.

Without AC, it can quickly become too hot indoors. Find ways to cool down via our website: https://t.co/G9vgPaBdhm
