  9. Yep. This video matches my experience with the transit system in Ottawa. And that "new way to busl" made our suburb experience worse not better by reducing frequency of buses.

  11. Today in terrifying public transit, this O-Train station in Ottawa uses only one track for both northbound and southbound traffic. The next southbound train is scheduled to arrive one minute after the northbound.

    It’s like stunt transit.

  13. This morning I rented a bicycle on Sparks Street and did a 20K ride along the banks of the Ottawa River, exploring as I went. Apparently my timing is good — much of the path had been closed for the last two years and only opened two days ago, according to the bike shop employee.

    I explored the hydroelectric station in the middle of the river; an old railway bridge that had been converted to a bike/pedestrian bridge; and just enjoyed all the forested scenery and lots of birdsong on my ride.

  17. RE: mstdn.moimeme.ca/@EdwinG/11696

    I'd expect nothing less out of Autowa. If the farmers were upset about a high speed rail I'm sure they'll be just fine with a ring road./s

  19. In #Ottawa we need straighter tracks for our trains and bendier roads for cars.

    Curved tracks slow LRT to a crawl. Riverside Drive Speedway (and many other straightaways) encourage stunt driving speeds. #DesignMatters

  23. I need to apologize. Earlier I said this tornado alert didn't matter because it only affected the outskirts of Ottawa. That was wrong and dismissive.

    To everyone in Vars: your emergency mattered. Your fear was real. Your safety IS important, regardless of where you live in relation to the rest of us. I'm sorry for minimizing your emergency.

    Literally a million people are thinking about you and your safety.
