## Resource

Ottawa’s city council is rolling out a bold new traffic plan to tackle the inevitable rush as federal workers return to the office and students head back to school in September. With 48 targeted measures, the city is beefing up transit, optimizing road networks, and expanding parking—especially park and ride lots—to handle the surge. Key priorities include express transit routes, better cycling and walking infrastructure, smarter traffic management, and clear public communication. Council will vote on the plan July 15th, aiming to stay ahead of congestion before it hits. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
