New data shows that very few cyclists and pedestrians are using Queen Elizabeth Driveway when it's closed to cars. Watch this video as a great example. When I recorded it yesterday afternoon, not a single pedestrian or cyclist passed me for the entire two and a half minutes. Lorsque... show more

Is this for real? The multi-billion dollar train doesn’t work and you’re recording videos about cyclists. This is embarrassing.

I’d be happy to return cars to QED if you’ll remove cars from my residential street, and any other street that doesn’t have drivers on it for 2.5 minutes in the middle of the day. Do we have a deal?

The two minutes you spent making this video could have gone towards far more important things that actually could have benefited this city. Your little war of words with the NCC does nothing to improve the lives of people in Ottawa

This is embarrassing

100%. It makes no sense to close a road to cars in order to accommodate absolutely no one. The NCC's decision to close Gatineau park to cars means I can get to Algonquin Park faster than Pink Lake. I'm tired of being pushed out of my own city. Reopen the roads.

1) If you think of it as a road, you see a lack of cars. If you think of it as a park, you see greenspace, peace and quiet. 2) If drivers are so inconvenienced by the transition of this space from road to park, it's bc overall there are too many cars in this city.

So what? Lots of roads don't always have drivers on them either, but they're still available to drivers. Please stop trying to claw back what little space we have in this city for car-free active use.

Maybe ? But then again it’s a Tuesday afternoon while most people are at work and school. So maybe not much of an indication of anything.
