@ScottMoffatt21 Ozympics.

Opening Ceremonies feels like a crossover Ozempic commercial. #Olympics2026

@cawi_erin411 @RiverWardRiley @ShawnMenard1 We're not privy to that information. My guess is it's because the NCC will pursue civil damages instead.

What in the world was the thinking behind the @OttawaPolice decision to not file charges on the damage to Kiweki Point. Can someone enlighten us? @RiverWardRiley @WilsonLo24 @ShawnMenard1 ??

@thatgirlkristyn @thinner1973 Will do! Thanks.

@thatgirlkristyn @thinner1973 Hey Kristyn, send that to me in an email? Copy and paste what you shared on Reddit is fine. Just so I can follow up with you (unless OC's already responded).

@cryslam Hi Crystal, I see your email. I'm a bit behind on my emails and will get to yours soon.

@WilsonLo24 Hey Wilson, I sent you an email regarding Lansdowne 2.0 and my objection to the project and have not heard back from you. I know the vote is next week so your response would be appreciated

@OccTranspo LOOOOORE.

@WilsonLo24 oooh secret lore!

Anyone know if these poopers are real time capable - i.e. can be linked to a digital source/execute external calls? I would assume yes, where this bus is used in "functional" transit countries, just tossing it out - for the hyper knowledgeable 😁 #Transit

@OccTranspo It looks more like Open Sans to me. The time is in another typeface, but it doesn't seem to match Inter (the 2 is the giveaway for me). The ad is in Frutiger (City's corporate typeface).

Incidentally stumbled upon that, Inter is the font being used for title text. fonts.google.com/specimen/Inter

@YFNWG_Ott I'd argue the one on Greenbank by SRB is just as bad. 😬

@OttawaCitizen @WilsonLo24 So yes, speed cameras are a cash grab, under guise of fixing a non-existent problem. The worst culprit is the King Edward location.

Are Ottawa's speed cameras a 'cash grab' or an important safety tool? ottawacitizen.com/news/ottawa-sp…

@dpvukovic @OC_TranspoHelps Responded by email!

@OC_TranspoHelps what is happenning with #99? Per schedule it should be at Limebank in 11 minutes. @WilsonLo24

@SierraFullerton I'm told the schedule adherence has improved, but the capacity issue (small bus) remains. Can you confirm if that's the case?

@WilsonLo24 Yes! That's the one. This week was the worst commuting I've had in the nearly decade I've lived here. My trip time in the morning was doubled (1h 40 mins) both days I was in office. Late buses, broken train, traffic on the parkway...the works.

First day of back to school and @OC_TranspoHelps has already given up. How late can they make everyone in the city today? I'm at 25mins and counting....

@SierraFullerton Hey, is this the 7:26 am departure from Nepean Woods (around 7:45 am at Fallowfield)? I'm looking into a few issues with that trip, including capacity. Please let me know if it's a different trip.

@OC_TranspoHelps @WilsonLo24 the 277 was really consistent before, but in the last few weeks its very late everyday and they are sending short buses more often than not that are standing room only before they reach Fallowfield

@ottawabryan @BarrhavenBob I believe so. There are grey areas with Council involvement in HR matters, but I don't think this one falls in that grey area. Looking into it already! I'm also curious about the City Manager's response to Councillor Bradley's inquiry.

@BarrhavenBob @WilsonLo24 I was referring to the decision by the city manager not the provincial level.

If council is opposed to this policy then can’t they direct the city manager to reverse it? Just curious. @WilsonLo24 l

@NirmansLaw Thanks for the chat, Daljit. Great to see you again!

It was a pleasure meeting you @WilsonLo24 to discuss key community priorities in Nepean—especially road safety and tackling reckless driving on Woodroffe South between Fellowfields and Strandherd. Thank you for assuring for Fellow-fields under/overpass issue in due course.

@thinner1973 I believe this uses resources from some trips on the 98. The first sentence isn't an unreasonable angle.

So is the city now realizing the O-Train to the airport was a complete failure/waste of money or is there another reason they’d have a dedicated bus route taking away bus resources from regular routes? The train already goes to the airport from each point listed @WilsonLo24

@Nora6137 Could you send an email to Wilson.Lo@ottawa.ca with the details of your request (including the service request number), so I can look into it? Thanks!

@thinner1973 The curbside signage is the only "legal" signage, so it's 50 km/h there, 40 km/h during the posted times. That flex stake should have a yellow sign with a child at play graphic. I'll have that corrected for next year. Thanks!

@WilsonLo24 these posts in the middle of the road that have speed limits attached. After you pass one how far past it before the speed limit goes back to 50km/hr?

@thinner1973 It's not something OPS are sharing at this time. Sorry!

@WilsonLo24 Did they catch them? Was it a stolen vehicle?

Another peaceful night in #Barrhaven @WilsonLo24

@YFNWG_Ott Agreed! Gives garbage a second, sometimes a third life.

Waste to energy is the best option 100%. It is the best recycling option for general household waste. It recovers the energy used to grow/manufacture the items now garbage. @ottawacity @WilsonLo24

@thinner1973 So normally, they'd most likely be turtle "traps" to protect their nests and eggs or tree saplings. Neither the City nor RVCA installed those, and neither nests or saplings were found, so they've been (or will soon be) removed.

@thinner1973 They look like some sort of turtle trap for monitoring/wildlife management. I'll confirm with the City and/or the RVCA (depending on whose they are).

@WilsonLo24 What are the purpose of these traps? I walk by there often (Gus Estes Park) and there’s never anything in them.
