Among recent commentaries on infrastructure issues across the city’s websites…<\/p>\n

Eric Darwin<\/strong> notes the development of the le corridor scolaire<\/em> in Montr\u00e9al<\/a> and two examples<\/a> of some of the newer street decor<\/a> in Ottawa’s near-west side. Also, there’s some disscussion on the subject of street signage<\/a> and how it might be designed to respect the pedestrian and the bicyclist.<\/p>\n

Kathryn Hunt<\/strong> comments on a street phenomenon observed but not understood<\/a> last month in the course of her own bicycling travels across the city.<\/p>\n

Further on the Ottawa Public Library’s Main Branch Building<\/a>: Urbsite<\/strong> presents a history of the building, its Carnegie-financed predecessor structure, and its chief designer George Bemi , as well as a partial sampling of some of the other buildings that Bemi had a hand in designing across Ottawa over the decades. Some of them may or may not surprise you.<\/p>\n

For those interested in the history of Ottawa’s medical infrastructure, Urbsite has something for you as well: a profile on the now-demolished Porter’s Island Smallpox Hospital<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Vanier Now!<\/strong> reports on the new Beechwood Market<\/a> for locovores in the neighbourhood and beyond, as well as a community garden project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sandy Hill Seen<\/strong> notes the creation of a new microbrewery on Waller Street<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ottawa Past and Present<\/strong> focuses on Clarendon Lane<\/a> in the ByWard Market. It wasn’t always as attractive a dining venue as it is today, and that took some work.<\/p>\n

Georgia Lay reports for the Centretown Buzz<\/strong> on a new bike lane in the works for O’Connor Street<\/a>. There’s a few things to work out before it’s properly set up, though, according to breakout groups in a workshop held by the city on June 26th.<\/p>\n
