@NCC_CCN It’s clean now. Thank you for acting quickly. Please consider putting the trash cans back or at least regularly monitoring the pathways - my toddler walks with me past here regularly.

[James Peltzer @jpeltzer]

Hey @NCC_CCN I know you removed thr trash cans along the Ottawa River but can you spare someone to clean this up? It’s a discarded tent someone had been using and quite a few used needles. It’s been right beside the pathway and bench for about 2 weeks. Just west of Carleton ave.

I heard it was for @OttawaJazz but the festival is on the other side of the street (and the ramp from Queen Elizabeth onto westbound Laurier seems open even though it is directly beside the festival)

[James Peltzer @jpeltzer]

Fresh question for @NCC_CCN :
Why would the ramp from eastbound Laurier onto southbound Queen Elizabeth be closed in the morning and evening right now? The driveway appears to still be open both directions - just the ramp is blocked.

[James Peltzer @jpeltzer]

@KitchissippiOtt sidewalk at Scott and Lanark is blocked. As is the bike lane. No actual activity happening at least as far as McRae - why make a dangerous situation for pedestrians and cyclists?

[James Peltzer @jpeltzer]

.@cbcallinaday is reporting that the pathway will now be “open with controlled access”.

[James Peltzer @jpeltzer]

.@NCC_CCN The river pathway never used to close around LeBreton for Bluesfest. I don't see a detour posted here https://t.co/ksmvyaR7rS. Is there one for people trying to get from the west end to downtown by bike? Also, what is the justification for making this change?

@Chelsea_Buddy @CdnHeritage Confirmed by several security guards. If they think of your camera as “professional” (ie. a DSLR), they won’t allow it. Why? No idea.

[James Peltzer @jpeltzer]

Hey @CdnHeritage, when did we start restricting camera use at the Canada Day celebrations? I’ve brought my camera for years and never had an issue until today when security said no cameras were allowed in the park.

Dog has been found - safe and tail-waggy!

[James Peltzer @jpeltzer]

He’s a little Maltese - roughly 10lbs.

@JeanneCBC Just FYI: 3rd generation AirPods are supposed to be closer to how AirTags work - can find them as long as they are within range of an Apple device.

@FailedProtostar @AuroraNotify You got some beauties before the clouds moved in!

[James Peltzer @jpeltzer]

A few more. #northernlights #myottawa #ShareYourWeather #StormHour

Northern lights over @KichiSibiWT this evening in #myottawa. Guess we are pulling out all the stops to welcome @POTUS! #northernlights #Aurora #stormhour #ShareYourWeather

[James Peltzer @jpeltzer]

@FailedProtostar Got a few shots in before the clouds got me. Thanks for the tip!

[James Peltzer @jpeltzer]

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!

[James Peltzer @jpeltzer]

A few more shots of the little cutie.

Spotted this adorable ermine while walking along @KichiSibiWT this morning. Also spotted a hawk spotting the ermine… send this little fella positive vibes!! #DailyPhoto #MyOttawa
