In 2009, a small change to the way Ottawa collects Development Charges resulted in a very significant subsidy on sprawl. This change was made by city staff, against the direction of council, buried in a 450 page background study, and nobody on council seems to have noticed.🧵
@RiverWardRiley@TransLink Love to see this! Always great to see what works and what doesn't elsewhere and bring that knowledge back. My suggestion would be to try and envision how the service would work for various trip types (work, errands, tourism etc) to gain some extra nuance!
Have a great visit!
@NCC_CCN@LiveNationON Unreal job. No notes. 10/10.
Close to transit and the market + a size of venue that was sorely lacking. So excited to see a show there!
@CapitalCity613 While I would love to see that, East and West would go insolvent because of their sprawl. They need the core to subsidize their status quo.
I think it would ultimately lead to better and more balanced suburbs though as they would need to rebalance their development patterns.
@porterairlines I appreciate the matter being looked into and actioned. I can see it has been processed in the payments and receipts section. Thank you!
@leehaber@RM_Transit I agree with that too. Those two decisions were ridiculous and shortsighted. That doesn’t make the line itself a joke though. It’ll still be useful, with good potential to improve, if what surrounds the stops gets developed properly.
@RM_Transit@leehaber Agreed, airport and Carleton get connected, throw in some TOD at stations like south keys and it can become not only a commuter route but a destination route as well.
