Ottawa Citizen, June 18
Author: Patirck Dare
The City of Ottawa talks a good game about being a place where the pedestrian is king, but its performance barely registers on the budget books.
Councillors have been told that the city’s budget for new sidewalks has all but disappeared, totalling $180,000 this year. That will build two new sidewalks in the city when the list of needed sidewalks contains 300 projects worth $50 million. Sidewalks in new neighbourhoods are not included in the list because they are covered by development charges and built along with new streets.
