People don’t stop walking in the winter. Yet the way that Ottawa prioritizes its infrastructure in winter does make it seem so.
In amenity and service dense areas of the city (Sandy Hill, Westboro, etc.) only 30% get around by car.
Ottawa needs to prioritize pedestrians as well.

It's not an evidenced based strategy or even a safe one, it's just so the city can't be sued 😔
A great example of the ways cities try to reduce legal risk but end up creating risk and failing people.
