Remember Joel Le Pole? Meet its older sibling Cole The Pole. Cole’s been sitting in the middle of a sidewalk forever.

Cole is an invasive species that goes back to the Cretaceous. Local residents want it moved. Where else are Cole’s siblings?

Close up of a section of a utility pole with messaging stapled on it. One is an image of moustache, monocle and hat. A coupe of messages around it call on people to contact the local city councillor to have the pole moved over so the sidewalk is accessible to people with mobility issues. The pole sits in the middle of a narrow sidewalk.

I am always surprised to see that the garbage collection area wall needed to be where it is. They could easily have made it a meter narrower or rerouted the path a bit. But no. (private property shortcut between Starwood Rd and Navaho Apt off Baseline)

Last week I checked out the new Byron Ave. bike tracks in #, separated from motorized traffic. They are nearly finished but due to expected snow I went out to take pics already to share with you. Here is how it looks like:

Hi all, Karen lost her binoculars on the Arboretum pathway on the west side of Dow’s Lake while birding. If you hear about them being found let me know. We suspect they may even have travelled on her bike luggage carrier after she had put her gloves back on. We are kind of scratching our heads how we didn’t hear them falling off. She was very attached to them (a birthday gift from me).

To each their own. Space for everyone 🚲🚶‍♀️🛴 based on their mode of travel.

I called 311 a week or so back to report a sidewalk on a busy street blocked by construction, and instead of sending it to a traffic inspector to ensure there was a safe pedestrian detour, they sent it to bylaw who called me back today to let me know they had a permit for construction! HOW CAN THIS CITY CARE LESS ABOUT PEDESTRIANS!?

More opinion battles disguised as gathering "evidence."

I love "thinking about people in general..."

Public surveys almost always reveal motivations of those commissioning it.

Fair game to counter intended results.

Guess the Citizen held on to this for a while. But it's finally out. Just when I thought it wouldn't be relevant anymore.

What’s your experience using the @NCC_CCN’s Active Use program—and particularly Queen Elizabeth Driveway?

Do you use it to commute? Do you take your kids for a ride? Caught up with a friend in the Muskoka chairs?

What does the program mean to you?

We want to hear your stories. Send them to info@bikeottawa.ca by Saturday, July 22—and stay tuned for the post.
