Hey everyone,
Kind of quiet here, so I thought I’d ask a question that’s been on my mind for a while:
What would make Ottawa better, in your view? Big or small.
For me, it would be to improve the walkability. I walk, jog, cycle, motorbike, and drive, all fairly frequently. It drives me wild how long it takes (mid winter or bad weather) from the time I press a crosswalk button, to the time the lights change. I’d love to see that improved.
I’m a firm believer that cornerstones shouldn’t be allowed to sell only chips and pop. They should be forced to be mini grocery stores and abolish the giant Loblaws stores and Walmart’s. They are not needed. Smaller stores scattered everywhere would be better imo.
Yeah I’m lucky enough to live near a proper corner shop with groceries but so much of Ottawa expects you to drive for basic necessities.
