@cmckenney@SWCHC @KellyEganColumn No disagreement, but certainly densification is needed for the economy and sustainability. Only in Ottawa would you find detached homes with backyards less than a km from parliament and the CBD. One more home in the core means one fewer 30 km away in the exurbs.
@OttawaBylaw Taken today: even if this was a somewhat legitimate reason to park in the bike lane (construction ahead), other drivers see this and the practice becomes normalized (as demonstrated by the car illegally parked behind the police).
@OttawaBylaw Thank you. Now please enforce it. There is a lot of money that could be made from fines. Also, please practice what you preach. Last week, I asked an officer parked in a bike lane to ticket another car also parked in a bike lane.
@jen_keesmaat Unfortunately, urban sprawl is all the more tempting for individuals and government alike. Of course, once people move outward it's a downward spiral; now a car is needed to get just about anywhere useful (not just work).
@cmckenney That's what happens when a city is allowed to sprawl and the political centroid resides outside the core. I'm all for transit, but why are we catering to people who opt to live in transit-unfriendly suburbs?
Hey @Sysco and @twosixate, your delivery guy was a real treat (/s) when I politely asked him to him to not park in the bike lane on Preston. @BikeOttawa
CONGRATULATIONS to @CarletonBPRC students Luminita Dumitrascu, Tareq Abuimara, Michael Gutland, Larissa Ide and Adrian Soble who have WON 1st PLACE in the International Building Performance Simulation Competition in Rome! An amazing achievement! @CarletonU_Eng #BS2019Rome@IBPSA
@WestJet WS1219. Allegedly it was LGA's fault, but that's pretty hard to buy considering the plane got in very late and plenty of other flights around were leaving on-time. Maybe we are just numbers to you, but a near sleepless night won't be forgotten when I book my next flight.
Hey @WestJet are you on a downward race with @AirCanada for terrible service? I was stranded in YYZ for 8 hours last night because of a missed connection due to very delayed flight. No agents in sight to help and refusal from phone agent to help.
