@_MarkSutcliffe Take the train and bus to work you cuck

Last week, I directed City of Ottawa staff to develop a plan to ease congestion caused by Highway 417 construction. Along with a third-party highway construction expert, Stantec, staff completed a thorough review of all available options to accelerate the work schedule. The construction timeline has been accelerated, and the work will now be completed by July 6, more than three weeks ahead of the original schedule. The contractors will work extended hours, including evenings and weekends. Some aspects of the project, including concrete curing, cannot be accelerated. Staff are also taking immediate steps to reduce traffic impacts: opening the Woodroffe bus-only westbound on-ramp to cars, adjusting traffic signals on surrounding roads, adding signage, deploying police during peak periods, and accelerating traffic calming measures in nearby neighbourhoods. I've heard some initial feedback that traffic improved on Monday. We will continue to do everything possible to reduce the impact of this disruptive project. La semaine dernière, j’ai demandé au personnel de la Ville d’Ottawa d’élaborer un plan pour réduire la congestion causée par les travaux sur la 417. Avec l’appui de Stantec, une firme spécialisée en construction routière, le personnel a procédé à un examen approfondi de toutes les options permettant d’accélérer l’échéancier des travaux. Grâce à cette démarche, les travaux seront maintenant terminés le 6 juillet, soit plus de trois semaines avant la date prévue initialement. Les entrepreneurs travailleront selon un horaire prolongé, y compris en soirée et les fins de semaine. Certains aspects du projet, notamment le temps de durcissement du béton, ne peuvent toutefois pas être accélérés. Le personnel met également en œuvre des mesures immédiates pour réduire les répercussions sur la circulation : ouverture aux voitures de la bretelle d’accès ouest de la 417 à Woodroffe, auparavant réservée aux autobus, ajustement des feux de circulation sur les routes avoisinantes, ajout de signalisation, présence policière accrue aux heures de pointe et accélération de mesures d’apaisement de la circulation dans les quartiers voisins. J’ai reçu des premiers commentaires indiquant que la circulation s’était améliorée lundi. Nous continuerons à faire tout ce qui est possible pour réduire les impacts de ce projet perturbateur.

@BudrinoPolitics @_MarkSutcliffe Not true.... the guys building the 417 are working from home. They want a work/ life balance as well. Nice to see they are getting as much accomplished as their office counterparts

@_MarkSutcliffe You created the congestion by ending remote work. People in Ottawa will remember this during the election!

@terryjf140 @_MarkSutcliffe Its Ottawa, they need to work from home. Work/ life balance

@_MarkSutcliffe So in summary... Ottawa Construction crews at this location are actually going to work like they do in every other City! Never had a seen Construction Crews working Gov't/Banking hours until I moved here. No wonder everything takes 2x longer here.

@TheTorontoSun She definitely would have some insight

@UBaldeep @Rvguy18 @ctvottawa Wait til Horizon starts is Sutcliffe smear campaign part 2. Those kooks did all McKenneys dirty work last time around.

@Rvguy18 @ctvottawa Even still. These are blatant campaign ads being spent with our tax dollars instead of his own money. Greasy.

@OCFailspo @_MarkSutcliffe @OttawaRaceWknd They dont call them loser cruisers for nothing

@_MarkSutcliffe @OttawaRaceWknd Why is extra LRT service put on for race weekend participants, but downtown bus users are told to go to hell?

Tamarack @OttawaRaceWknd is one of the best weekends of the year in our city. Thousands of runners and walkers will reach their goals on the streets of Ottawa, while raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for important local causes. Good luck to all the participants! Le week-end de course Tamarack d'Ottawa est l'un des meilleurs moments de l'année dans notre ville. Des milliers de coureurs et de marcheurs atteindront leurs objectifs dans les rues d'Ottawa, tout en récoltant des centaines de milliers de dollars pour d'importantes causes locales. Bonne chance à tous les participants !

@ThatEricAlper The kids are alright

What's a really great music documentary?

@ctvottawa What a sinkhole... bad idea from the start. Thus money pit is going to make The Olympic Stadium look like a bargain

@JohnSiteman @Brianc_56 @LeiperOttawa Just saw the attendance numbers for their final game, literally their biggest game of the season.... 12 000. Meh

@Paul057Kelly @Brianc_56 @LeiperOttawa Funny thing is both of them are major sports. Expansion does mean success when every metric continues to go up every single year. That’s not delusional- that’s a fact. The PWHL brought in over 1.1 million people this past season and broke every attendance record multiple times.

The Ottawa Charge just broke North American women’s hockey records. Mark Sutcliffe’s response? Lansdowne 2.0 with 5,850 seats. We’re shrinking while the city grows. That’s not leadership. That’s playing it safe when we need to think bigger.

@OPSTrafficCM @OttawaPolice @ottawacity @OACPOfficial @pvw_mag @OPP_ER @SMILEConference @_MarkSutcliffe Mom rocks

Nothing like a Stunt Driving charge with your mother (vehicle owner) in the passenger seat; as was the case earlier today when an OPS Road Safety Unit officer observed a vehicle doing 166 in the 100km/h zone on the 417 near March Rd. Suspension, court date & impound.

@JohnSiteman @Brianc_56 @LeiperOttawa Im actually surprised. They overtook professional poker and the PGA to land in 9th place in Canada for sports viewership.

@Paul057Kelly @Brianc_56 @LeiperOttawa The NHL gets a huge amount of coverage on American sports shows- as does the PWHL now. It’s attracting a lot of fans on both sides of the border. Don’t know where you’re getting “funding an 18K seat arena”- as they’re not asking for that- they’re asking to not lose 4,000 seats.

@JohnSiteman @Brianc_56 @LeiperOttawa So. Why did only 4000 people show up for a league final game??? The Panda game in Ottawa gets 25 000 each year. That CIS football. Maybe by your logic we should be building both Ottawa U and Carleton there own 30 000 seat Stadiums

@JohnSiteman @Brianc_56 @LeiperOttawa It ranks 9th as a sport for viewership in Canada.

@JohnSiteman @Brianc_56 @LeiperOttawa You crossed the line from optimistic to delusional. They aren't a major sport. I love the CFL...but I dont consider them a major sport either. And dont conflate expansion with success. Larry Smith when the CFL ventured into the US and it was a disaster.

@Paul057Kelly @Brianc_56 @LeiperOttawa They have your complete respect? Then why demean them in your last comment? To say that they’re never be a major sport when they’ve attracting over 1.1 million fans just this past season and are expanding to 4 major cities 50 years faster then the NHL is a bit much.

@JohnSiteman @Brianc_56 @LeiperOttawa They have my complete respect..absolutely. but ts not a major sport neverwillbe... Lets give it a rest. The NHL barely makes highlights on American sport shows. Hopefully, it will continue to attract fans in Canada, but let's not fund 18 k seat arena quite yet

@Paul057Kelly @Brianc_56 @LeiperOttawa None of those are attracting attendance of over 1.1 million fans in a season- the PWHL is. Maybe give it some respect rather than trying to demean it to make the argument you’re trying to make.

@JohnSiteman @Brianc_56 @LeiperOttawa Ya.. right behind bull riding and darts

@Paul057Kelly @Brianc_56 @LeiperOttawa This seems like it’s continuing to echo “anti” arguments that have been proven false many times over. No- the NFL is not moving the Super Bowl. However, the PWHL’s success has placed them in the discussion alongside any of the top pro leagues in North America.

@Michael63594404 @FoodProfessor Good luck with hiring youth , better hire 3xs more than you actually need. To fill in when they can make it in with the sniffles, tummy ache, its raining, its too hot, too cold. Im too stressed or a complete no-show, usually after payday.

@FoodProfessor I already avoid Tim Hortons whenever possible, if Dunkin’ donuts comes out with a policy of only hiring youth and not TFWs I’ll only use them, instant loyalty.

After making comments about Dunkin Donuts coming back to Canada,Tim Hortons asked us to be on The Food Professor Podcast. That's a sign...

@JohnSiteman @Brianc_56 @LeiperOttawa Hey Johnny, I watched the game. Looks like they forgot to show up. Maybe they thought the game was at Lansdowne. Anyway... so now what would we do with your 18 000 seat venue now that the Charge is done ?? Maybe find that Frisbee catching dog the Renegades used every game

@Paul057Kelly @Brianc_56 @LeiperOttawa Irrelevant- they’re not playing 15 year old boys. That is the tired old point based on an era of the sport many years ago. The caliber of play is extremely strong. Maybe watch the game tonight- they’ll fill up the CTC again and have a great game for the fans like last time!

@JohnSiteman @Brianc_56 @LeiperOttawa You DO realize that a competitive team of 15 yr old boys would embarrass these girls every day of the week ... right?? ...

@Paul057Kelly @Brianc_56 @LeiperOttawa Not accurate at all- as you’re assuming the PWHL will not continue growing (which they’ve already done so massively in every single city and they’re adding 4 more). I could easily see a scenario where over time- it does become comparable revenue-wise to the NHL.
