A Smarter Plan For Ottawa Intersections
🎯 1. Target Safety
Focus police & bylaw resources strictly on hazardous conduct, lane blocking, or aggressive behavior.
📊 2. Fix The Data
Pull complaints out of the 311 "Other" bucket. Track actual call volumes and outcomes.
🏠 3. Pair With Results
Stop circular ticketing loops. Combine enforcement with functional housing-first outreach strategies.
🚧 4. Redesign Medians
Use physical infrastructure improvements to make unsafe roadway stepping difficult.
The Transparency Problem
4% / "OTHER"
Ottawa’s 311 system has no category for intersection panhandling. Your community concerns are buried inside a catch-all bucket that absorbs 1,500 requests a year. We cannot fix what City Hall refuses to track.
Hey Rawlson, you paying attention? Pay attention!

Ticketing by itself is expensive motion without progress. The cities that successfully reduce visible street activity combine targeted enforcement with effective outreach and housing support that actually works.
