I had been thinking of how to get two dead branches out of our maple tree. Last night’s storm in #Ottawa solved it for me. They are heavier than I thought: 18 and 32 pounds. Raccoon is watching over me when removing the branches #ottcity

Thought I'd attend a City open house from my phone but the Zoom app doesn't allow screenshots?!? Ugh. Hauling myself to a desktop.

Someone flew a drone through the various construction sites in Uppertown and Nanny Goat Hill (north-west-downtown Ottawa): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXyYHh_cI5U

Not sure if it's safe or legal, but the result is cool!

Ottawa City Hall is so fucking broken:

Can't report a streetlight that's out because the web form to report it is also broken. (Also, do I submit it as a "damaged streetlight" or a "malfunctioning streetlight"?!?)

Can't call 3-1-1 because they have "elevated call volumes" 24/7.

If I send an email I might get a response, a few days later, asking me for more information or guilt-tripping me for not using the broken form.

On Saturday, July 25, this private business jet left Colorado, for #Ottawa. On Monday morning it flew over Ottawa. It attracted my attention because of its low flight path and the odd angle it was flying over our house. After flying over Ottawa several times, the C- FPRM flew towards Smith Falls airport. It apparently can land on grass and dirt. After approaches in Smith Falls, it flew to Kars - Rideau Valley Airpark, did an approach there and then returned to Ottawa, where it landed. #ottcity

Today's storm has brought heavy rain. We're responding to flooding, fallen trees, and traffic signals across #OttCity.
For safety, please stay off the roads if possible.
For the latest traffic information visit traffic.ottawa.ca/en/traffic-m...

We had more rain (78 mm) in 2 hours on July 1 in #Ottawa, then in the entire month of July last year (50 mm). I had the lights on this afternoon. That was quite a downpour. The rainbarrels are full again! Good thing we went for an #ottbike ride in the am.

Heads up: the City of Ottawa had a public meeting on Monday to present plans for reconstruction of Rochester and Booth streets from Gladstone to the 417. They did a terrible job of telling anybody about it.

Anyway, there are plans to add #OttBike facilities on both streets, integrating into the Gladstone Gilmour bikeway (which still has to go to committee for approval... maybe in August)

Comments due by July 8. #OttCity #OttPoli
