Hey everyone,
Kind of quiet here, so I thought I’d ask a question that’s been on my mind for a while:
What would make Ottawa better, in your view? Big or small.
For me, it would be to improve the walkability. I walk, jog, cycle, motorbike, and drive, all fairly frequently. It drives me wild how long it takes (mid winter or bad weather) from the time I press a crosswalk button, to the time the lights change. I’d love to see that improved.
Decent public transit would be nice.
I really miss using public transit. I used public transit as my main mode of transportation up until about 6 months into the LRT construction. My 40-60 min commute became 60-80 minutes, at which point the consistent 30 minute commute by car took over.
These days I work from home, but even when I’ve tried to use public transit it’s been so hard to.
It’s going to take the city a long time to rebuilt trust in the system.
I’ve heard that from a few folks. It’s shitty. I was all in on the LRT, but the value doesn’t seem to have materialized.
Hopefully OC Transpo/RTG will get reliable trains and fix the tracks.
