Thanks. Can you email that to me? I've been comparing this proposal to the Taggart building at Rosemount/Wellington. How do you feel it compares, and how do you like that?

IMHO, Jacqueline, because it's good for the environment. Less farmland devoted to urban sprawl.

Like a lot of niche markets, the prices will fall as they become more mainstream. Not everyone will be able to switch their groceries over entirely, but as those who can buy more and more, hopefully shopping here or at other stores that offer the same will become more affordable and accessible!

Heh, the short answer is: no one. No one obeys those. I didn't see one at this location, but have no doubt that one is there. The City puts them up wherever a MUP intersects with a sidewalk and intersection, unless there's a cross-ride. Under the HTA, a bike is a vehicle and vehicles aren't allowed to use pedestrian crosswalks. I know I begged the City not to put these up on the Scott/Albert MUP, but, rules is rules.

I've done a few if you scroll back through my timeline, but my emphasis is always on the email newsletter and blog. Social media and video are a great way to alert people to issues, but the really big awareness only comes with putting substantive content on a web page, then driving traffic to it with a newsletter. As some folks have noted, video also has an accessibility advantage for many. Just one more tool!

Ah yes. That light is the bane of cyclists' travels. I'm making an effort these days to adhere as strictly to the rules of traffic as the anti-bike crowd would like cyclists to adhere. I cannot say I blame that large number of cyclists who every day blow through that red. Visibility is great for a few hundred metres each way. "Idaho stops" can't come soon enough.

But you can observe the impact of a drive thru. This is hardly unique in Ottawa. And while darling is wide and under capacity, Richmond is narrow and congested. A drive thru would be even worse there

+spotmaticfanatic I don't disagree that there is a pedestrian issue in this video but it's certainly not because of a coffee shop "drive-thru" impact. It seems to be the nature of drivers to basically cut off pedestrians. Our Councillor should take a walk around the neighborhood to see that this happens everywhere. It happens at parking garages, drivers pull over the sidewalk waiting to enter when there is a back-up. It happens in our schools during parent drop-off and pick-up. It happens at gas stations, especially when the one at Parkdale is posting low prices. It happens on turn signals, drivers cutting off pedestrians to make a light. It happens at our well loved local hamburger joint and donut shop, because they both have minimal parking and drivers wait for a spot. I am a driver and a pedestrian... I see it from both angles but can't support being blind to the fact that poor drivers make poor decisions. Do we close all our favorite local gas stations, hamburger joints, donut shops because a car might block a pedestrian on the side walk. I feel there has got to be another reason he and his crew are so forcibly against a low cost, drive-thru coffee shop in the neighbourhood. Has our neighbourhood started catering to the top tier families so long that they have forgotten who's blood sweat and tears went into making this neighbourhood so wonderful. Let one coffee shop in that doesn't serve 7.00 latte's.

+CC's Mum I don't think anyone, including the Councillor, would disagree. These are all issues about bad urban design, and putting the car first.

Your comment is ridiculous. It's the same kind of development hence it is apples to apples
