I met with staff to look at (early days) putting some infill dev in a #BetterByWard. Was told they would t support housing bc everyone would complain about patio noise all summer long; but hotels would be ok bc hotel guests could blame the hotel and not city. 2/

This! @brigittepellerin.bsky.social gets so much right in this. This is something @architectsdca.bsky.social has been pushing for years. Let’s make a #BetterByWard 1/ substack.com/@brigittepel...

Imagine a #BetterByWard where business thrives bc it’s friendly, accessible, welcoming. Where more people pass by a store or cafe on their way home to family sized apts, and connector to the city thru a functional reliable transit system. Imagine #OurBestOttawa
