Hey, so I’m on vacation for the next like two and a half weeks so I’ll be here less. Or more. I don’t know yet.

The City of Ottawa’s Planning and Housing Committee has approved a zoning amendment for a proposed housing development on Riverside Drive that is facing opposition from the Ottawa International Airport Authority.

The Ottawa International Airport Authority is opposed to a planned development near Riverside and Hunt Club because of how close it is to flight paths. Today's vote was on a zoning amendment, but heard YOW's concerns about the project.

The study found near misses most often involved vehicles making a right turn. More than half (55 per cent of pedestrians and 50 per cent of cyclists) had a close call with a vehicle.

The consultation process for a renoviction bylaw will start soon. The community has been asking for better regulations to prevent unjust evictions for years. I am so happy that this crucial work to protect tenants is finally underway. www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

It was kind of tongue in cheek, but I think we do need to wrestle with the reality that the way people organize on their respective platforms absolute distorts how users perceive news and the world.

Staff at the City of Ottawa are starting work on a “renovictions” bylaw after hearing no new updates from the provincial government. www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...
