NCC unveils new segregated pathways on LeBreton Flats

July 10, 2022 by Claude Jobin

The new pathway at the LeBreton Flats features designated pedestrian and cyclist lanes. Great idea! The only problem I see with this is the inconsistency of bicycle lanes in the city, making cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers wonder: what type of lane I am in now? Who has priority and where?

Driveway bylaw ‘a blunt instrument,’ Barrhaven residents say

July 5, 2022 by Claude Jobin

CBC.ca reports that some residents of Barrhaven who have widened their driveway will need to bring it back to what it was. A costly endeavour for sure! Best be careful what you do to your driveway without having checked bylaws – seems there can be unpleasant consequences to not getting city hall’s blessing.

From a resale point of view should the buyer ask if any renovations, additions, or changes were done with or without approval that could also hinder the selling process.

Little Free Library

June 23, 2022 by Claude Jobin

The city of Ottawa is exploring options with regards the little free libraries. Earlier this month Wendy Chaytor a resident of Stittsville received an official complaint from the city telling her she had to relocate her library 4.3 meters back from the road. Of course the libraries should not be in the way, and create an obstruction but 4.3 meters back in my mind is quite the distance would be less inviting. Hopefully, the city will come up with an acceptable to everyone solution.

Doing research I find there’s an app for that: Little Free Library! An app to help you find the closest little free library. I just tried it out! I see it missing one I know of, but it points to others in the area.

And if you’re looking for ideas Pinterest has a page dedicated to Tiny Lawn Libraries. Just don’t get yourself in trouble with the neighbours or the city!
