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

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
