What a shitshow.

And a waste of tax dollars. Analysis shows it costs 6 billion to upkeep this "return to office" nonsense. What a joke. We had so much time to densify and create a better mixed-use CBD. 5 years to work on it and make it a non-ghost town. But no, let's keep those cafes that are only open from 9am to 2pm and parking garages full.

What a great step instead of improving our city.

Most are in 3 days a week as it is are we really going to say 4 or 5 days so max 2 more days will be a big impact for abrs etc.

this quote is the best from

InformalYesterday760

"We have spent billions on LRT, and a critical step is building density close by to maximize ridership, and ideally develop generations of ottawans who don't need a car at all."


Also parkdale, Centertown or little italy? do them ALL!
 
Parkdale is quite a mess. I doubt new development contributes that much to the traffic woes. Hoping moving the Civic will alleviate some of the traffic.

Trying to torpedo Leiper so it doesn't become obvious in retrospect that it was his policy program and Horizon Ottawa's martyrdom complex which caused Mckenny to lose big time.
 
Looking forward to the day we stop talking about upgrades to the Byward Market and start seeing upgrades to the Byward Market. So much potential but everything is a study away from another study from another proposal, etc.

That central market building has so much potential. See what places like The Forks in Winnipeg have done for inspiration (obviously theirs is bigger) but ours is dingy, old and crammed with tiny shops with very little indoor space to walk, sit or enjoy.

Look at the St Lawrence market in Toronto they talked about it for years before doing anything.
 
They have an interior rendering. Far more open than the current setup.

Watson had a whole plan approved and ready to go when he left office. I'm frustrated, but not surprised, Sutcliffe didn't work on it at all before the 200th.
