The City of Ottawa built some amazing cycling infrastructure in the last decade. But a lack of imagination and institutional memory still keeps new projects from being built. Here's a thread of City accomplishments that prove they can do it. These projects were once impossible.

Some of these projects are big, some small. I'll keep adding to this thread as there are always new projects to highlight. We've come a long way in a short time (and have a long way to go). My hope is for people to see this and recognize potential for improvement everywhere.
