Every single year, River Ward councillor Riley Brockington receives $75,000 to spend on traffic-calming measures. However, that money doesn’t go very far when a single speed hump takes a $16,000 bite out of that budget. And that is the price tag to fix it today, as the repairs have slowly increased over time. At one point, it only took $11,000 to patch things up. He joins the program in Hour 4. Plus, if you are trying to catch a movie at the local cinema, Matt Demers has got you covered with his weekly selections!

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Fri. April 19th, 2024

In a case of déjà vu, we have another stunning stat that highlights a series of problematic automotive thefts in Canada’s Capital. According to the latest batch of data, 5 vehicles are being stolen from Ottawa driveways every single day. As of New Year’s Day, we are up to 560 vehicle thefts in 2024, and we are not even four months deep. We speak to Councillor David Brown, who represents the sixth-highest number of victims. On the lighter side of things, if you are planning to adopt a cat aged 6-and-over, you will no longer have to pay an adoption fee at the Ottawa Humane Society.
