Funnelling in 9-5 commuters will not make downtown better or more economically productive. Turning it into a mixed-use neighbourhood with local residents would - convert offices into housing. “Federal public servants to the office 3 days a week this fall” cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…
Ottawa’s downtown can be more than office buildings & barren streets that cater to 9-5 commuters. It can be a vibrant community with mixed-use buildings and people-focused streets. The nature of work has changed, so should our city. We just need the leadership to make it happen
Cities naturally gravitate towards mixed-use neighbourhoods with a range of housing. However, strict land-use regs have attempted to freeze our cities. Resulting in skyrocketing housing prices and car-dependent neighbourhoods. We need to update our zoning ottawacitizen.com/opinion/column…
Ottawa needs to be bold in its zoning bylaw overhaul in order to tackle our housing affordability crisis, create vibrant communities, and allow a range of uses in our neighbourhoods. Make sure to have your say so that our representatives remain bold ⬇️ ottawacitizen.com/news/local-new…
Which Ottawa related issues do you hope are relayed to the province via this new regional office? “…the Premier says the new office will support better services for the people of Ottawa and support greater engagement with the province and the city” ottawa.ctvnews.ca/province-to-op…
If you care about Ottawa’s urbanism check out the city’s new zoning bylaw draft. It will impact everything from housing density and setbacks to where businesses can be built and more. Make sure to have your voice heard so Ottawa can be the best it can be. ottawacitizen.com/news/local-new…
“…program offering free public transportation fares to Montreal seniors is paying off…documented a spike in transit use among people 65 and older….The measure has therefore resulted in both savings and increased mobility for seniors.” montrealgazette.com/news/local-new…
“infill housing makes it significantly cheaper for cities to provide services than in car-dependent sprawl. A 2021 study from the City of Ottawa found that infill homes more than pay their share of services, while new subdivision houses are a fiscal drain” theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
“But what happens to rents after new homes are built? Studies show that adding new housing supply slows rent growth—both nearby and regionally—by reducing competition among tenants for each available home and thereby lowering displacement pressures.” pewtrusts.org/en/research-an…
“While the mayor hails an agreement between tourism officials in Ottawa and The Hague, the Tulip Festival is struggling to survive…given its place in Ottawa’s history, it would be a shame to cut the Tulip Festival, which attracts hundreds of thousands…” ottawacitizen.com/news/local-new…
613flea at Lansdowne is an example of a place maker. Great for connecting with neighbours, friends, and family to try different foods, buy a vintage item or something locally made. Markets like this provide a low-barrier of entry for artisans, farmers, artists, and merchants!
“Encouraging infill housing projects has benefits to both cities and residents by eliminating the need for new and expensive infrastructure such as sewers, parks and schools…” cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…
Transforming under-utilized offices into residential buildings will help improve affordability in Ottawa, but timelines need to be better ⬇️ “On average it takes nine years to dispose of a government building. We want to split that, minimally, in half.” cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…
People will choose the most convenient form of mobility. If parks, shops, schools, work, etc. are in proximity to home people can choose to walk and cycle. Ottawa forces things to be far apart due to land-use regs. Though these rules could be updated.
People love the ByWard Market as a public space Unfortunately, Ottawa makes it almost impossible to build like this in other parts of the city It needs to update its land-use regulations to enable these spaces that bring neighbours together, foster communities, & spur commerce

@ABetterOttawa If @_MarkSutcliffe thinks bringing federal workers back downtown will revive business, he has no idea how people save money now - bring bag lunches and thermos of coffee from home, not eat out. Make family-sized apartments with day care, and schools downtown.

@OttawaCitizen To whose detriment? And they aren’t pushing more human congestion, there are just more people.
@OttawaCitizen It's not "human congestion" it's people. New neighbors. Fellow citizens of our city. I live in an older neighborhood and welcome it (though I recognize it certainly puts me in the minority in my neck of the woods)

"The complex is increasingly turning into a massive wall of concrete, glass and steel. It will blank out the sun in their neighbourhood of detached houses, called Brentwood Park, for large parts of the day." This is literally nonsense.

@liampmooney That would lead to significant tax increases long term cbc.ca/amp/1.6193429
Incredibly disappointed in this dangerous word choice by an Ottawa Councillor A triplex policy is not a “tsunami” we are “wrestling with”. Triplexes will provide more homes for our neighbours. There’s a housing crisis, let’s start acting like it.

A note for "conservative" commentators -- There is nothing "conservative" about cities demolishing property rights and adding hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes/red tape to new homes. Conservatives should be the loudest and most vocal opposition to municipal NIMBYs.

Sooner than later, we'll be able to ride the train AND watch it go by from the new Rideau River bridge! Exciting times are coming up in Ottawa.
Stadler FLIRT zips over rehabilitated single track Rideau River rapids, from Mooney’s Bay Station to @Carleton_U Station. In front is new ped bridge to parkland paths, to finally open within a month according to Councillor @RiverWardRiley today.
