If our elected officials cared about the safety of people outside of cars, starting with our kids, we wouldn’t need crossing guards. Our streets would be safe regardless of human error.

But here we are. A crossing guard lost their life on duty. We should all be outraged. 1/3

There are a few things you can do:
1. Email David Hill (David.Hill@ottawa.ca) councillor for Barrhaven. Tell him to push for safety measures citywide. Suggest away.
2. Call Doug Ford (647-612-3673), ask him to bring back speed cameras.
3. Join @visionzeroottawa.bsky.social @forourkidsog.bsky.social other like-minded organizations. 3/3

@bikeottawa
Is that vision zero account using the bridge so that we can follow it here?

[bikeottawa@mastodon.social]

@human3500 Oof! No. Sorry. Just cut and pasted it without thinking. Thanks for flagging. Will need to figure that one out.

@bikeottawa
That would be great because i can never remember the formula to test if they are using the bridge.

I'd love to follow that account if only for the anguish as beige pants 2 does all he can to support the endangered car.
