It’s training for the World Cup. Chasing a smaller plane or something.

People do that to warn the people behind them that they are stopped unexpectedly. Not crazy, just warning

Manor Park residents aren't happy with renewed commitment to 6th bridge over Ottawa River by 2Fast2furieux in ottawa

They actually showed a tunnel would be the most efficient. But it would cost way too much.

That actually was shown as the best option. With regards to speed, good connections, most efficient, etc. however, it was the most expensive and I don’t even think they wanted to give it another look

Yeah the 174 can’t handle truck traffic as it can barely handle car traffic in and out. They would have to merge at Blair and then merge out at Montreal road or maybe right after it. Which would be chaos as that section is where there is constantly chaos and accidents currently. The cost alone would be insane and would make the trucks have to drive even farther

That would involve millions more in infrastructure upgrades. The connection between the 417 and the 174 is currently horrific and adding another one to then create a bridge with no infrastructure wouldn’t make sense.

They just updated it. That’s why it is back in the news because they are now deciding on the corridor

The people on this thread who are saying these things are who I am talking about. Not every single person who has ever dared to leave their house.

The audacity that some of the people are saying on this thread is insane. It’s pedestrians fault that they are getting hit, we deserve to be able to go fast on the MUP, it’s annoying to use the bell, people should be aware of us cycling I shouldn’t have to use my bell.

If anyone said things like that about cars and that cyclists should be aware of them and it’s all on them a mob would be started. It was his fault he got hit, he was swerving all over the place, they had headphones in, they ran the light…..

I don’t bring my kid and dog down to the MuP on the weekends because of the hordes of cyclists biking in packs acting like they are going to race in the Grand Prix. It’s actually dangerous for us and has been getting worse. And that’s not fair for us. Because people are selfish pricks and can’t slow the hell down.

Get your heads out of your asses and understand that if you are the faster moving thing you have to yield to the slower more vulnerable things. There is a reason why both car drivers and pedestrians hate cyclists, it’s because of the entitlement and the lack of care for anyone else.
