What makes this notable is this part:
Troster said the new bike lanes weren’t halted by recent provincial rules limiting such projects since they won’t remove any traffic lanes.
I guess the secret is to have dedicated parking spots instead of traffic lanes with parking on them!
Even though I am a noted hater of Ottawa as a city, I just had to celebrate this achievement. Isn’t it amazing what people can accomplish when they put their minds to it and prioritize safety and livability?
Absolutely yeah. It sucks because If Ottawa wasn’t ruled by the suburbs, we’d have a lot more of this. We could have functioning transit and bike lanes but noope that might increase property taxes a tiny bit and we cant have that
