It’s time for bike share in Ottawa!

Our transit system is in crisis and our roads are congested. Bike share can help! A quarter of trips in Ottawa are under 2 km—well within bikeable range. Bike share is affordable, accessible, and efficient.

City of #Ottawa councillor Sean Devine in his latest newsletter:

We have created a hierarchy when it comes to planning priorities: 
Keep traffic moving 
Keep parking convenient 
Support safety measures – but be mindful of priorities #1 and #2 
That’s not “balanced”. It’s a value system. And it’s costing us.
Ottawa’s intense commitment to unencumbered, fast‑moving traffic has a twin. A near‑religious commitment to maintaining as much parking as possible, at all costs. 1/2

Ottawa River MUP Report:

-Mostly clear but with patches of snow and ice of various sizes from the New Orchard to Churchill underpasses.

-After Churchill, where the pathway goes into a more forested area, it looked all snow covered, but I didn't go that far.

ANALYSIS: Is Doug Ford waging a war on cars?
“Whether it’s EVs, bikes, or even just public transit, the story is the same: the Ford government has been inept if not hostile when it comes to anything other than getting drivers in cars. Perversely, this isn’t even good for drivers: every incremental car we add to the road makes the experience of driving worse for everyone.
…
Without meaning to, without understanding that he’s doing it, Doug Ford has spent eight years waging his own war on the car”
