Venting some of the frustration I feel about Orleans Blvd, especially when there are often cones on that road that make it so much nicer to cycle across. #orleans #cycling

Getting around in the suburbs can often be very frustrating and confusing, and unfortunately it’s only made way easier when you're in a car. We can change that!

Whoops, looks like someone blocked off the outer lanes of Orleans Blvd 174 overpass very cheaply like we’ve been suggesting. As you can see, traffic was total pandemonium!

This is actually the problem with #ottawa finances. They are cutting services but there is a refusal to budge on the other two that would fund the city properly. We need to grow up.

Return to the office also meant a return for Ottawa's traffic, parking and simmering tensions | CBC News

Friends in the fediverse, I’m going to share my yearly theme for 2024 (those in the know re: the Cortex podcast understand the difference between theme and resolution). Not necessarily planning to be super into the method but I feel like having a focus for smaller changes and something to pin aspirations to will benefit me.

Anyways, 2024 is the Year of Up.

Move up (the ladder), tidy up, upgrade, everything moving in the positive direction.
