18:30:17 From Chris Redden (présentation en français) to Everyone: Project webpage: https://ottawa.ca/richmonddesign Display boards: https://documents.ottawa.ca/sites/documents/files/richmond_road_poh_boards_en.pdf Roll plan: https://documents.ottawa.ca/sites/documents/files/richmond_road_roll_plan_en_0.pdf Site du projet: https://ottawa.ca/conceptrichmond Tableaux d'affichage: https://documents.ottawa.ca/sites/documents/files/richmond_road_poh_boards_fr.pdf Plan de mise en œuvre: https://documents.ottawa.ca/sites/documents/files/richmond_road_roll_plan_fr_0.pdf 18:41:23 From Caroline Beland-Pelletier to Everyone: can you tell us what color is the cycling track 18:42:41 From Paul Clarke - Bike Ottawa to Everyone: Are pinned curbs planned in the westbound buffer zone to the east of Ridgevalley? 18:42:42 From Kate Twiss to Everyone: Does "buffered" mean there's a curb? 18:43:02 From Shandon to Everyone: Slides r in french 18:43:33 From Sophie [she/her] to Everyone: yes, why aren’t the slides in english? 18:43:39 From Erinn Cunningham to Everyone: How big is the typical buffer? 18:44:04 From Sophie [she/her] to Everyone: woah! neat! thanks! 18:44:17 From Shandon to Everyone: THANK U 18:45:20 From Sophie [she/her] to Everyone: So Lovitt to Highfield is a gutter bike lane. Hmmmm 18:46:17 From Erinn Cunningham to Everyone: How big does the buffer need to be for a pin curb? It would be best if we put pin curbs in whever they fit. 18:46:47 From Sarah Sullivan Partridge to Everyone: Can the vehicle lane be narrowed at all to allow for pinned curbs? To give more space for the cycle portion? 18:46:57 From Daniel Domen to Everyone: Since there is a bike box, will there be a no right turn on red? 18:47:16 From Caroline Beland-Pelletier to Everyone: can you explain on the drawing where the side walk and the bike lanes are. sorry, I’m not used to reading these map. Would you be able to move your mouse over the features? 18:47:54 From Erinn Cunningham to Everyone: Could you also describe the regular traffic lane widths? The roll plan showed lots of excess space that could be used to slow traffic and create more space for people on bikes to have a better buffer. 18:48:47 From Daniel Domen to Everyone: HATE Sharrows, terrible idea. 18:49:09 From Daniel Domen to Everyone: Won't bike there. 18:49:19 From Sophie [she/her] to Everyone: ya, nonchance 18:49:21 From William van Geest to Everyone: By "impact on the operation of Pinecrest," what mode do you mean? It sounds like you mean for cars, but don't you realize that there are other users of this road? 18:49:31 From Sarah Sullivan Partridge to Everyone: I think an impact on vehicular traffic (ie a longer wait for cars) is worth providing safe infrastructure 18:49:35 From Erinn Cunningham to Everyone: Sharrows do not make it safer for people on bikes. Studies actually indicate the opposite. If this is a crosstown bikeway, it needs full bike lanes. 18:49:36 From Sophie [she/her] to Everyone: thatll be a sidewalk ride :x 18:50:58 From Sophie [she/her] to Everyone: are these future mups going to have separated bike and walkways? 18:54:46 From Chris Oster to Everyone: What is the timeline for redoing Richmond between Pinecrest and Carling? THAT is the most dangerous stretch in the area, with all the traffic coming off the 417 and going northeast. 18:55:18 From Don Patterson to Everyone: Is there any area where the cycling and the sidewalk are reduced into an combined MUP along this streach 18:56:39 From Erinn Cunningham to Everyone: But are we maintaining 3.5m in multi-lane lsettings? Many projects do not feature 3.5m lanes in middle lanes and turn lanes. 18:58:59 From Shandon to Everyone: I guess I misunderstood. I thought it would be 2 lanes on both side up to Pinecrest. What is a sharrow? 18:59:01 From Sophie [she/her] to Everyone: two lanes for cars, buses and trucks, zero for bikes. 18:59:35 From William van Geest to Everyone: In terms of making space for "all road users," it seems like the lion's share of the space is going to cars, particularly with turn lanes. Is this really as equitable as you make it sound? 19:01:05 From Sarah Sullivan Partridge to Everyone: There is a reason that everyone loves the NCC's MUPs. They are 100% separated from traffic. 19:02:48 From Sophie [she/her] to Everyone: Sharon, sharrows give bicyclists a false sense of a security, while drivers ignore it, which makes it less safe for bicyclists. 19:03:18 From Sarah Sullivan Partridge to Everyone: We can't build a 15-minute neighbourhood where people use local businesses and recreation, and get there using Active Transportation, if we choose to constantly choose vehicles over people. Delivery trucks can take Carling. People pull over to let emergency vehicles by. I think we all need to get used to something different than the status quo. 19:03:26 From Meghan Whitehead to Everyone: I can't unmute myself - for High Street to Carling Avenue - this is a candidate project in the AT Plan that is currently being updated and consultation is happening now. All projects will be prioritized through that process. I encourage you to visit Ottawa.ca/TMPUpdate and provide your feedback. 19:03:26 From William van Geest to Everyone: What's the City's understanding of the effectiveness of sharrows? Barring the use of magic paint, I'm not sure how they're supposed to protect people on bikes from cars. 19:03:28 From Shandon to Everyone: Sophie, Dangerous 19:03:30 From Don Patterson to Everyone: IS the sidewalk a standard with or does it vary like the cycle Paths. If yes what Is the width 19:04:24 From Shandon to Everyone: Where is the sidewalk 19:05:07 From Sarah Sullivan Partridge to Everyone: Is there any other option for the sidewalks, to make the crossing distance shorter? I noticed that all the sidewalks curve (to make turning easier for vehicles) and that makes the crossing distance longer. 19:05:14 From Sophie [she/her] to Everyone: I gotta go. Thanks for all of the info and the presentation! I hope the final plan is safer for bicyclists 😅 19:05:26 From Kathy Vandergrift to Everyone: What is marked there for tree removal? 19:05:44 From Nicholas Noel to Everyone: Will there be posts/bollards used as a part of the buffered lanes? 19:07:10 From Erinn Cunningham to Everyone: It will never be a cycling facility if the city doesn't built it as such. 19:07:20 From Shandon to Everyone: Where can we have a closer look at the drawing? 19:08:14 From CarolynEckersley to Everyone: Can flashing lights be used at the beginning of sharrows to alert drivers? 19:08:15 From Joshua Franklin to Everyone: I would prefer separated cycle lanes over paint and signs. 19:08:16 From Amir Zahabi to Everyone: Shandon, please visit the project's website on the City's website - the slides and roll plan is posted there in En and Fr 19:08:33 From Amir Zahabi to Everyone: https://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/public-engagement/projects/functional-design-richmond-road 19:08:41 From Lukas Stodola to Everyone: I am curious if you can put right now a projected cost to do this road renewal? 19:08:45 From William van Geest to Everyone: It seems like by dropping the cycling facilities out at intersections reduces the utility for all but the most confident people on bikes. Is the City setting itself up for failure? Moreover, is this really equitable? I thought the City was committed to equity--say, in the new Official Plan. 19:09:41 From Erinn Cunningham to Everyone: Couldn't we take the turn lane out to preserve the trees? 19:09:48 From William van Geest to Everyone: Also, expecting people to dismount from their bike at intersections isn't much of an option for many people who use bikes as a mobility device--e.g., if they have a disability. 19:11:34 From Daniel Domen to Everyone: Richmond Westbound East of Pinecrest can we turn the north lane into a turn lane with paint and then close the right turn east of pinecrest to high street for active transportation. It is a small turn lane and should be able to be closed. 19:11:38 From Don Patterson to Everyone: At the protected intersection it looks like pedestrians ie visually impared must cross bike lanes to cross Richmond rd. this could be hazardous for peoples with disabilities. 19:13:33 From Kate Twiss to Everyone: For another project, getting from Bayshore to these cycling lanes. (I'm trying to get from Holly Acres to Dumaurier--so far pretty awkward.) 19:15:33 From Don Patterson to Everyone: Can there be posted reminder signs for cyclist that pedestrians have priority where paths cross. 19:15:54 From Daniel Domen to Everyone: What about cyclists going west, there is no option to continue west along Richmond. 19:17:37 From Paul Clarke - Bike Ottawa to Everyone: Eastbound at Grenon,, you need something to prevent cars entering the cycle track, thinking it is a right turn channel. (Experience from Donald Street at St Laurent.) So bollards and more, What else could you do? 19:19:21 From Shandon to Everyone: I live where the 2 lanes going North merge into 1. People speed through here all the time. How can we slow the traffic down 19:19:27 From CarolynEckersley to Everyone: How much education is built into the plan? 19:19:46 From Shandon to Everyone: I live where the 2 lanes going North merge into 1. People speed through here all the time. How can we slow the traffic down 19:20:26 From Shandon to Everyone: I live where the 2 lanes going North merge into 1. People speed through here all the time. How can we slow the traffic down 19:21:50 From Daniel Domen to Everyone: Also are the slip lanes going to be removed at Bayshore and Richmond? Cross the south slip lane often and cars do not see you because of vegetation. When they do see you they are going to fast to stop for you or don't want to. 19:22:48 From Don Patterson to Everyone: will busses still obstruct the traffic lane when they are stopped at a bus stop 19:24:38 From Daniel Domen to Everyone: What are the MTO limits? 19:25:07 From Bob Ferguson to Everyone: Why is this section not being made into 4 lanes for car traffic? On both ends, the road is 4 lanes. Does this not create a hazard for drivers? 19:26:35 From Shandon to Everyone: I find that there is a lot of cars on this section 19:27:03 From Paul Clarke - Bike Ottawa to Everyone: Is there a date for Baseline BRT project construction? 19:27:26 From Don Patterson to Everyone: isn't busses stopped on an arterial route with a speed limit of 50 or 60 dangerous 19:27:46 From Shandon to Everyone: I agree Don 19:28:06 From Shandon to Everyone: It 19:28:38 From Daniel Domen to Everyone: Will be much of an improvement for cyclists and pedestrians, thank you. But I really hate those sharrows and will not cycle there. I will use the section to get to Bayshore once linked with LRT stage 2 pathway. 19:28:39 From Shandon to Everyone: It's 60 where I live, people are coming in at 80 plus now. 19:29:35 From Shandon to Everyone: I fear for the cyclists 19:29:38 From Meghan Whitehead to Everyone: ottawa.ca/TMPUpdate 19:30:06 From Kate Twiss to Everyone: I learned a lot. Thank you. Good meeting. 19:30:27 From General CBLCA to Everyone: Thank you all 19:30:38 From Lukas Stodola to Everyone: Thank you for the presentation. 19:31:02 From Paul Clarke - Bike Ottawa to Everyone: Much appreciated. 19:31:08 From Chris Oster to Everyone: Thanks you! 19:31:13 From Erinn Cunningham to Everyone: Thank you everyone. 19:31:16 From William van Geest to Everyone: Thanks for the consultation. I agree with Daniel: definitely improvements for pedestrians and people on bikes, but some pretty rough spots still. 19:31:57 From Daniel Domen to Everyone: Thank you.
