Ottawa Now - The right-on-red debate dominates Thursday's Public Works and Infrastructure meeting

February 26, 2026

Earlier today, Somerset councillor Ariel Troster introduced an inquiry to Ottawa’s Public Works and Infrastructure Committee, a meeting that quickly turned dramatic. She wanted to examine the viability of implementing a right-on-red ban after witnessing the aftermath of an accident last year. Last week, City Staff responded to Troster’s inquiry, and they pumped the breaks completely. That brings us to a few hours ago, where councillors engaged in a back-and-forth discussion as to whether City Council should reconsider the ban. Then, Beacon Hill-Cyrville councillor Tim Tierney brought forward a motion to maintain the status quo. He joins Kristy Cameron on today’s Ottawa Now.
