Thanks to @JLeiper for identifying some of the hard choices we need to make on #planning when it comes to #climateaction. The #climate logic is clear: building compact, walkable 15-minute neighbourhoods (*not* more R1 zoning) is a #sprawl solution. Let's get it done!

Planning & Council voting on Official Plan in coming weeks. Current Draft not going to get us the #walkable #neighborhoods we want. A few critical revisions could make a world of difference. We have 4 revisions that we see as critical. Read 3rd one here: walkableottawa.ca/post/flying-bl…
