Down on Lester Road today for the #Ottawa Traffic Cone Festival. These were under guard.

The #bike path crossing of the #Osgoode Link Pathway at Lester Road in #Ottawa is now semi-operational. The pedestrian crossing lights work although the #bicycle crossing lights are not yet in service.

Unlike some US presidents, here in #Canada we know how to build a wall!

Last weekly update report from the #NCC in #Ottawa for #Gatineau #Park before the holidays.

'Astronomical' hold queues on year's top e-books frustrate readers, libraries

Inflated costs, restrictive publishing practices to blame, librarians say

Seen today on the Trillium Line in #Ottawa, an #Alstom Coradia LINT 41 #train. Still on testing and training. Opening date is now set for 6 January 2025.

Here in #Ottawa this is everyone's favourite bus route.

As part of my trip to downtown #Ottawa today, I was down underground at Parliament Station at about 0935 hrs. It was deserted, at least until the #Alstom Citadis Spirit #train showed up!

This is a mysterious new pavilion that was recently completed at The World Exchange in #Ottawa. The website is a bit vague as to what it might be used for:

Head outside and you’ll experience The Plaza: a landscaped outdoor environment where cultural events, concerts, group fitness, and connection to fresh air and nature can all take place.

I guess we will have drop by in the summertime and see who is using it and for what purpose.

The National Arts Centre in downtown #Ottawa, with its glass tower used for projections.

While I was in downtown #Ottawa today I wandered past the #NCC offices. The NCC is what makes Ottawa a really a special place to live, as they run much of what adds so much to life here, like Gatineau Park, the greenbelt, much of the bike path network and the canal skating!

We have monuments and memorials in #Ottawa, more than any other place in the country. This one is a monument to the Stanley Cup. It is serious, too and not just a tourist draw for hockey fan photo ops.

One of the regal #lions outside the main post office in downtown #Ottawa. Nice to see the strike over and the lions back on duty!

#Winter necessity or chemical spill? I saw this "salt drift" in downtown #Ottawa today. It is almost 6" (20 cm) high. Definitely a tripping hazard. Ottawa uses much more salt than any other city in Canada, even Montreal which has the same climate and is much bigger.
