People often mull about what fascism is and isn't or call people fascists in a disingenuous or unserious way but what @PierrePoilievre is pledging to do here is literally fascism: cbc.ca/news/politics/…
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
I genuinely love this new furniture for the Lansdowne Square 🤩 Of course the space remains "Park Where You Want™️" for #autowa
Every lunch is better when you’re being serenaded by Elsa.
Observation: if we put garbage bags in garbage cans, then emptied them, it would reduce the amount of small trash that falls thru the can and collects at the bottom, never to be collected. But hey, what do I know about facilities maintenance?

@jen_keesmaat I can walk my kids to school but it takes me 60+ minutes on transit to get them to any support services (OT/pysch/specialized tutoring). Density isn't just the basics. We need space for specialized services and schools too.
If there’s a sound sweeter than the (pad pad pad) of small feet coming out of the bedroom and a little voice saying “morning opa” I don’t know what it is.
Fun Fact: Downtown Toronto wouldn't smell like URINE everywhere if only we provided humane safe places for humans to relieve themselves.

On a rep-by-pop basis Ottawa's rural citizens votes count more than their urban cousins. Not equitable. #ottcity
That will address the needs of 51% of the population generating 58% of the taxes on 12% of the land; critical things like infrastructure, transit, housing, greenspace snd equity matter to both groups of residents.
@Toon_Dreessen Surely if the rural councillors could make it happen, the urban councillors could team up and make this a real thing?
@christaggart @Toon_Dreessen We may have common issues across the 3 rural wards but it is taking multiple workshops to determine the focus. We definitely have different urban issues across the many urban wards. I also think most city consultation is an urban summit whether is it useless or terrible.

@SjamieIt @Toon_Dreessen This is an acceptable reason for hot patch on concrete/pavers: temporary cover. The problem is an awful lot of this stuff ends up permanent.

We need a cap on the number of unique zones, and a cap on the quantity of rules in each zone. A good rule of thumb: 2 pages max (not 30). Rules should evolve with time to address contemporary goals and challenges, but we need to wage a constant battle against regulatory bloat.
If a provincial government was so inclined to cut down on planning regulations an easy peasy way to do that would be to limit municipalities to about 12 to 16 zones max and only 3 zones for any specific use. E.g. 3 residential zones, 3 mixed-use zones, 3 commercial zones, and so…

@TorontoPFR @MOCAtoronto @AgaKhanMuseum @OntScienceCtr Another factor is the atrophying of neighbourhoods in and around the core. They should be filled with interesting retail and packed with people. They are not.

I once did a thread about slip lanes in my city.
Let’s talk about slip lanes, those right turn lanes that prioritize vehicle speed over safety. As drivers enter slip lanes their eyes are most often looking down the street, searching for an opening in traffic not straight ahead where pedestrians and cyclists may be crossing 1/12
My column today Slip lanes are dangerous for all road users and have no place on neighbourhood streets. Drivers approach searching for openings in traffic to accelerate into instead of looking towards pedestrians crossing the intersection in front of them. winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/2024/0…
