And also seen at the #Ottawa #conefest today: more cones closing a parking lot for no obvious reason.

Dropped into the #Ottawa #conefest today to check out some random cones in a parking lot for no obvious reasons.

Here it is, the final entry in my #construction series on the #bike path connection in south #Ottawa! It took many months, but the connection between the Osgoode Link Pathway and the Sawmill Creek Pathway is done, the #conefest and fences removed and officially opened. My #video was shot today and shows the pedestrian and cycling #bridge, the switchback under the bridge and around the west side to join the Sawmill Creek Pathway.

This connection is a real boon for #biking in this part of town, as #bikes can now skip #cycling on busy roads and having to wait at traffic lights, bypassing it all. It is faster, safer and should encourage more people to bike.

Especially for @gander22h@diasp.org. It's a cold, windy #conefest day here in Gotham City.

I do not know why the cylindrical ones are penned up. They must have misbehaved.

Meanwhile, back at the #Ottawa #conefest today .... some gratuitous cones on the road median for no reason other than purely decorative purposes.

Meanwhile, back at the #Ottawa #conefest today .... you can phone this cone!

Meanwhile, back at the #Ottawa #conefest today .... This engineering company have their own branded cones.

Another shot from the #Ottawa #conefest today. This one scored well in the "freestyle" category for damage, fading and imaginative placement.

A shot from the #Ottawa #conefest today. Nice style, good use of caution tape!

and once more we were down at the #Ottawa #conefest today. Looks like one was cut down!

Just out enjoying the #Ottawa #conefest.

#Conefest continues in #Ottawa. Even this gas station got in on the festival!

A visitor here in #Ottawa at the Ottawa Traffic Cone Festival, all the way from #Toronto!

Back down at the #Ottawa #conefest again today. The cones are now all clean after Hurricane Debby washed them!

Another look at #conefest here in #Ottawa, now in its seventh year. It has now moved south and set up in our end of the city. These cones on the main road really serve no purpose here, as the #construction crews have only closed a sidewalk nearby for building a new #bike path connection.

We were spending some more time at the #Ottawa #conefest today. The colours are great and there were even some amazingly creative cone sculptures!.

Spent some more time at the #Ottawa #conefest today. The colours are great and they had traffic all snarled.

#Conefest in #Ottawa continues. It has been on continuously since 2007 and is in full swing today, with millions of colourful cones all over the city. There is very little actual #construction being done, but it is nice to see the city all dressed up so everyone stuck in traffic with all the lane closures has something to look at.

It is still on! The #Ottawa #conefest continues!! This festival has been running continuously since 2017 when the city started it to complete derail the country's 150th birthday celebrations. It was so successful that hardly anyone came and those who did could not move anywhere in the city and wished they had stayed home. It was so successful that it has continued to this day. No one can travel anywhere or get into or out of the city. One group tried walking out of Ottawa, and were never heard from again. As one citizen said, "this will be a great city when it is finished."
