Walking an extra 15 for a few days every so often would be fine. But the signs and oversaturated limited spots make it 30+ minutes every day for the last 7 MONTHS. Which is especially fun when Im walking alone at 12am through the rough space that late night centretown has become in the opiate crisis
I would love to bus but my work shift and on call schedule is not supported by the bus schedules. I'd like to bike but I have neuro/balance issues that make that impossible.
@arieltroster.com y r so many streets in one area allowed to be marked off as no stopping construction zones for such a long period of time? Can you fight for partial refunds for street parking permits in centretown West? I regularly spend 30 min circling only to park an additional 30 min walk away.
Best I found is that narrow path between the sidewalk barricade and the unlocked unsecured outhouse at 11pm. But I'd prefer not to have to get up and close to that smell
@arieltroster.com who do I contact to try to get the city's construction people to leave me a way to get to and from my home on Maclaren and Lyon?
Placing an outhouse on my lawn is a nice touch lmao 😂
Oof
Do you know, will parking be prohibited on that chunk of Maclaren all day every day the whole 6 months?
Or was that the year before? Time is impossible. Maybe it was both?
Is that not what had them closing Lyon Street all spring and summer last year? That was a nightmare. The water was constantly off and then filled with sediment when it came back. And the vibrations shook dishes off shelves and art off my wall.
It's been two whole weeks. The workers may be working hard, but The City of Ottawa sure dropped the ball on snow removal
I'll believe it when I see the trucks. Sometimes those signs are up for days
Hell, it'll all flood tomorrow with all the rain we are getting tomorrow while all the drains are blocked by snowbanks
Is it only a bit of Maclaren? Maybe just Elgin to Bank or something? There are no snow removal 'no parking' signs up near the Dundonald end of Maclaren?
Boooooooo
Orleans results won't be out till 11pm...
I hope the new surface will winter better! It's bad every year on this stretch, but this year is the worst I've seen it

I'm worried about the folks who rely on mobility aids across the street from me!
I live near that first pic. I sure hope we get our sidewalks back soon!
