Mayor of #Ottawa:
"The debate over closing a specific stretch of Queen Elizabeth Driveway is not about whether or not the city supports active transportation. It’s about where and when are the best opportunities for it."

Me:
Summer is exactly the best time to convert roadways into active use routes.

@Pipistrelle Partner and I have often discussed what our next vehicle should be. We don’t really need it to be a “car” which hauls around all that metal, we mostly make short trips. However, we very occasionally need access to a vehicle to transport our dog - sometimes in an emergency- which we can’t do in taxis or on the very limited public transport in our regional town. Car pooling of some kind, and smaller electric personal transport, might be our future. #TransportationPlanning

Ultimately, the solution to the last-mile problem will depend on the specific needs and circumstances of each community. It's important for city planners and transportation authorities to consider all options and work with local stakeholders to find the best solution. #lastmile #communityengagement #transportationplanning
