The research I do relies on the bound volumes of the bylaws and minutes of the City of Ottawa, dating back over a century. Iβve spent hours in the Main Branch Ottawa Room with these books (pictured). Sadly, this resource was recently βdiscardedβ by the library. Itβs a loss for local history.
@jleiper.bsky.social Could you reply with your birth date so I can cite it and fix your wikipedia article? (if you don't mind sharing)

ALTO/Cadence have launched an online survey asking about corridor travel and opinions on high speed rail. It takes a few minutes to complete but there are important topics like βwould you prefer downtown or out-of-town stationsβ and affordable fares: onqctravel.com

The Glebe BIA has taken down their 2025 RETAIL MARKET & GAP ANALYSIS report that pro-Bank-Street-Bus-Lanes delegates were using to counter the BIA's own talking points, presumably for that exact reason. Dead link: intheglebe.ca/wp-content/u... Backed up copy: filebin.net/y3xt647u5dip...

Line 1 riders reported 16 different trains on the tracks yesterday. Help @railfans.ca track how many go out today by reporting your car number here: www.railfans.ca/traintracker....
To help residents track how many trains are in service, @railfans is asking residents to report which train cars they've seen in service. If you catch a train number in service on Line1 report it here: www.railfans.ca/traintracker...

Didnβt notice this yesterday, but four 14 St Laurent trips were cancelled back to back, and then the 6:51 trip after the gap was 44 mins late- making for a ~2hr30min gap in service! (@jleiper.bsky.social @arieltroster.com)
Fairly catastrophic cancellations on OC Transpo today. Apparently there were ~70 buses short of what was needed to run service, plus some nasty snow- take a look at some routes!
Welcome Line 1: 2
painful to see slow zones on the finch west LRT before it even opens. this portal has been speed limited to 10 km/h. thanks to unplanned slow zones and weak, passive signal priority, trains are taking longer to complete trips, and gaps are wider. multiple cases of 12-15 min waits on line 6 ππ

Bill 60 means that we will not be able to add cycle tracks to Albert and Slater Street or extend the OβConnor bike lane to Wellington Street. Itβs an absurd overreach by the Ford government that will make all road users less safe and waste millions. I hate it here. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Got the LRT wayfinding designs out of my info request finally- there's this "keep it moving" sticker that can go on platforms where people naturally crowd where they shouldn't... @helps.octranspo.com any chance we can get something like this on the platforms at Carleton?

Itβs one more reason that Iβm advocate for a re-think of Ottawaβstransportation plans, centred around the transformation of CN Railβs Beachburg Corridor into a major east-west transit corridor connecting our cityβs strategic centres and intersecting existing transit lines. 3/
@helps.octranspo.com @somersetward.bsky.social Some very attractive and muscular men came and lifted this bench behind Pimisi back into place today, but there are still a few boards missing from the benches themselves
@helps.octranspo.com A new bus pad/platform was built for Rotary/Nettle (#3394) several weeks ago but the stop flag has not been moved there yet. Just want to make sure this work order wasnβt forgotten

Remain calm Jeff Leiper Patriots are in control
Across Ottawa, from fairs and markets to townhalls and meetings, Iβve been hearing the same thing: people are frustrated and want a new direction for our city. We need a city that works, with reliable transit, strong services, repaired roads and community centres.
