  • South Ottawa Roads, Playgrounds, Pathways, Studies, Real Estate Tapped for 2017 Cash South Ottawa Projects in 2017 Budget
    South Ottawa roads, playgrounds, pathways, studies, real estate tapped for 2017 cash South Ottawa projects in 2017 budget Ottawa South News Dec 29, 2016 By Erin McCracken Dozens of projects in Ottawa’s southern wards have been tapped to receive 2017 budget dollars. Here’s a breakdown, ward by ward: Capital Ward Residents who live in or frequent the Billings Bridge and Heron Park neighbourhoods of Capital Ward can count on the addition of a new red light camera at Bank Street and Riverside Drive in the coming months. It’s just one of a number of items for that part of the ward that are included in the city’s 2017 budget. The design of a new pathway will be completed in 2017 to allow users of the Rideau River Eastern Pathway to walk or cycle under the south side of Billings Bridge at Bank Street and Riverside Drive. Construction is scheduled for 2018 and the cost is being shared with the National Capital Commission. “That means people going east-west along that multi-use pathway won’t have to come up and cross Bank Street anymore,” said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. “It is safer, removes a number of movements, and there will be fewer people for drivers to keep an eye on.” inReadThat will complement plans to begin work on sections of the Rideau River Western Pathway in nearby Old Ottawa South, he said, adding that currently is a patchwork of trails to the University of Ottawa and on to Sandy Hill. Faircrest Heights, Alta Vista, Billings Bridge and Heron Park residents can also look forward to construction beginning on the Rideau Canal footbridge that will link Fifth Avenue in the Glebe with Clegg Street in Old Ottawa East.

  • How Will Council Ensure That Citizens Have Access to Records Which Define the Need to Reform Ottawa Police Service?
    Investigating the Need for Structural and Functional Reform of Ottawa Police Service and Ottawa Police Services Board How Will Council Ensure that Citizens Have Access to Records Which Define the Need to Reform Ottawa Police Service? Dr. Barry Wellar Professor Emeritus, University of Ottawa President, Information Research Board http://wellar.ca/informationresearch/ POLICE REFORM PROJECT Report 4 Ottawa, Canada November 6, 2020 How Will Council Ensure that Citizens Have Access to Records Which Define the Need to Reform Ottawa Police Service? A. Introducing Question 3, Police Reform Pilot Study As journalists and activist citizens can attest, asking some politicians questions is one thing, getting them to provide timely, pertinent, informative, unambiguous answers is often quite something else. My recent, similar experiences in that regard involving City of Ottawa politicians directly, as well as indirectly through examination of governance materials involving accountability and transparency obligations of politicians, include three related activities: 1. The transparency and accountability pilot study, Chronicling the Use of Transparency and Accountability as Political Buzzwords, and as Drivers Ensuring the Standard of Access to Public Records in Canada is Best Practice; 2. Intensive examination of the terms of the City of Ottawa Code of Conduct for Politicians (https://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/accountability-and- transparency/accountability-framework/code-conduct-members-council-and- related-policies); and, 3.

  • Transit Week Challenge Toolkit Here
    Transit Week Challenge Toolkit By Free Transit Ottawa We are a group of transit-concerned, socially minded Ottawans who advocate for free transit in Ottawa. 1 Transit Week Challenge Toolkit ​ The Steps Pg. # ​ Pick a direction 2 Start organizing 3 Contact councillors 6 Be media ready 9 After the event 17 2 Transit Week Challenge Toolkit ​ 1. Pick a Direction It’s important to make sure that from the start your campaign works with your politics. Are you focusing on the quality of the service or too-high fares? Challenging councillors to take specific action or mobilizing the public? What are your demands? Will you invite only councillors, or other political and community leaders to take the challenge? If you’ll invite others, who and why? As an example, FTO focused on mobilizing the public and improving transit service. We encouraged people to use hashtags to share their complaints which demonstrated public support for transit improvements. We sent councillors a survey to complete each day and one at the end of the ​ ​ ​ challenge, which allowed us to collect stories and examples ​ of the issues with transit. Our survey asked questions about which demographics were best served by our transit system, and what issues they faced in their day. We also offered a sign-up for non-councillors, so that citizens could take part. Make sure you know your goals so you can design a coherent campaign. 3 Transit Week Challenge Toolkit ​ 2. Start Organizing To encourage councillors to be involved and to capture a wide net for your media coverage, we recommend partnering with other organizations as “endorsers.” What this means is that they support the challenge, and may choose to promote it.

  • Ottawa Transit Challenge 2020
    Transit Challenge 2020 Ottawa Transit Riders, Free Transit Ottawa, Ecology Ottawa, and Healthy Transportation Coalition Ottawa Transit Challenge 2020 Why the Transit Week Challenge? In 2019, Free Transit Ottawa organized a Transit Week Challenge that took place from Monday, February 4th to February 10th 2019 as a way to bring focus to transit issues within the city. Councillors were invited to rely on transit for one week – to experience the city the way many people in Ottawa already do every day. Participants were encouraged to ride transit to and from work, to shopping, to appointments, and to social events. The Challenge represented the daily reality of Ottawa’s transit dependent residents: students, commuters, low income bus riders, and others without access to vehicles. 2020 The second annual Transit challenge took place from Monday, February 17 to Sunday, February 23, 2020. It was organized by the Ottawa Transit Riders, Healthy Transportation Coalition, Ecology Ottawa, and Free Transit Ottawa. We also reached out to fellow transit advocates in other cities and were delighted that Edmonton decided to conduct a similar challenge. What was the difference between Transit Challenge 2019 and 2020? - Launch of the LRT - Expanded number of people invited (reached out to city managers and OC Transpo executives) - Tracked participation, not just agreement - Two surveys - Report released quickly after end of challenge 2 | Page Ottawa Transit Challenge 2020 Participants Most councillors agreed to participate.
