Such a treat to work on this project with great colleagues. Our bold vision for Sussex includes active transport improvements, new public spaces, water access, renaturalization, and space for Indigenous placemaking.
🏆 First place: Rideau Connection | Stephen Hickson, Arzen Chan and Christina Hoang, from @McGillU This design concept is guided by five themes: connection, animation, Indigeneity, nature, and water. Active transportation is at the heart of the plan.
Lots of evidence to suggest that investing in young riders pays off in the long run
The city should be moving in the opposite direction, creating a u-pass for all students 18 and under working with the student transportation authorities and create life long transit users.

ridiculous metric. All this shows is that Ottawa has a land use and transportation system that does not incentivize transit or walking for late night trips

The O-Train Line 2 and 4 opening in the near future is exciting but I am left wondering about the first impression visitors to the city will have with 2 transfers, including one with up to 10 minutes of waiting time, to get downtown
Ottawa's LRT was standing room only last night at uOttawa Station. Ottawa's students are a significant source of funding for OC Transpo, providing them with frequent and reliable service is only fair. We need to restore LRT frequencies to every 5 minutes.
all good ideas but will never be implemented until a new Ottawa River crossing is built. Kent is one of the main ways for vehicles to get from 417 across Portage Bridge. Ottawa-Gatineau needs a solution to get truck traffic out of its urban core.
Kent Street is a dangerous urban arterial in Downtown Ottawa. 🧵Here's 6 ways it can be improved
one of the most under appreciated aspects of bike share is that it introduces non-cyclists and casual cyclists to the bike network. Wish Ottawa-Gatineau saw the potential here.
I recently became a bixi girl, and I could honestly kiss Valerie Plante on the mouth for the amount of bike lanes/paths she's put around the city. I was so scared of cycling on the streets for years. I would have never gotten into it without this amazing infrastructure.
if OC Transpo is in fact reducing Line 1 midday headways to 10 minutes then I’m really curious what the plan is for when Stage 2 opens. 20 minute headways on the Moodie and Algonquin branches?
Just swam at the NCC River House for the first time. Already one of my favourite public spaces in Ottawa. So impressive.
Running the Gatineau Tramway at street level is by far the best solution. It is cheaper, more accessible, and future proofs the system to allow for extending further into Ottawa, which the City should be pushing for.
Which alignment/option do you prefer for Gatineau’s Tramway to service downtown Ottawa?
Every time I get down on North America I go look at the crazy amount of new transit, housing, infrastructure, and . . . stuff Metro Vancouver is building and I get really optimistic
Just wrapped up reading @ProfDavidGordon’s Town and Crown. Learned so much about Ottawa-Gatineau’s planning history. Cannot recommend enough.
J’ai eu l’occasion d’essayer le O-train d’Ottawa la semaine dernière. Plus confo que les bus du Transitway qu’il remplace, mais lent! 35km/h, et de très longs arrêts en station.
It's brutal seeing our country go down this ugly path. We can only make our politics and our nation worse with this kind of nastiness. I hope that the electeds and senior staff of good conscience push back on this abhorrent behaviour.
Charlie Angus jumps ship rather than face voters after he voted to hike the carbon tax and ban the hunting rifles of Northern Ontarians. Common sense Conservatives will axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget, stop the crime—and let you keep your hunting rifle.
