Moving Salvation Army from Lower Town to Vanier

by





Controversy in the city! A petition is circulating objecting to the relocation of the Salvation Army from George Street on the Market to Montreal Road in Vanier. Admittedly the George Street location poses some challenges to the lower town residents and its visitors. From a residential point of view many a client will not see a condo at the St George with the Salvation Army across the street. That being said 30 years later the St George endures!

Vanier we are told is up and coming, its been a slow ascention, and the equilibrium is delicate – the Salvation Army would surely affect the balance. So what is the answer!


Footbridge – Fifth Avenue and Clegg Street

by





After 110 years of planning the footbridge between Fifth Avenue and Clegg Street is being built. These pedestrian cycle bridges are great!

Before the construction of the Somerset Street bridge to Overbrook getting to the bicycle path along the Rivierain Park meant first getting to the Cummings Bridge then going down. Not being a regular cyclist I was never a fan of that now all I do is go down to Somerset and use the footbridge. Much nicer! So congratulations to the Glebe and Old Ottawa East for this great addition to their neighbourhoods.


Pedestrian Cycling paths Riddled with Potholes

by





Use caution on the pathways around the Capital. The recent floods submerged our paths under water for extended periods of time. In some instances they have reappered damaged – use caution while cycling on them. As a pedestrian don’t let your smart phone distract you from what’s ahead.

Plus of course, as usual, be aware of the Canadian Geese who have the right of way no mater what speed you are traveling. If you forget this hierarchy of rights they will remind you.


Ottawa Doors Open 2017
June 3 & 4

by





Yesterday the participants of Doors Open 2017 were announced: it’s quite the list.

I think I’d like to go to the Canada Council Art Bank this year. I’ve never seen the Embassy of Hungary nor the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia, could see those. And oh my neighbours at the Stadacona Hall, the Brunei High Commission are participating – must see that building: I’ll put that as number 1.

I have seen Earscriffe the British High Commissioner’s Official Residence: it’s spectacular. The Embassy of Algeria the Fleck-Paterson House is a must see. One of the rare houses whose interior is designated – a decision made to protect the house from a reckless owner. If you’ve not seen the Diefenbunker – that’s also a must. There’s a restaurant not far from there, you should stop in at Alice’s Village Cafe very funky. Many moons ago I saw the US Embassy that’s quite the building, perhaps not the ideal time to visit, but if you want to remember there are buildings that you must book ahead.

And one last thing take note of whats open Saturday & Sunday vs Saturday or Sunday.

The Dutch Reach

by





As spring proceeds with uncertain certainty more and more cyclists will take to the road. Cyclists and cars as we know can be a dangerous mix. The city does much to increase the cyclists security but there is something you can do improve the cyclists security. The Dutch Reach. The dutch reach consists of opening your door with your right hand. It forces you to turn your body and better see if there are any cyclists coming by.
