Public Transit

For those of you who know me, will be surprised that i'm writing a post about public transit... i am def not what you would call a "bus person" - -but that being said, maybe i could become a bus person? thats right i said it...

but in all seriousness, i would def consider parking my car and hopping on a good ol red and white limo as i'm told they are called by the 'cool kids' sometimes. BUT why are there no park and rides in the east end of ottawa? - - what i can walk over the scary archway in the dark alone to the blair station... or what... drive to the park and ride at college square? how does any of this make sense? if the city can't create a plan where i can walk from my car onto a bus, or from my front door onto the bus without significant walking in the dark - - then i will continue to drive and pay for parking downtown.

the city has posted the 4 plans on the following site. LINK you can click on each of the plans on the left hand side and you can fill in the feedback form letting them know your comments.

i think 4 is the best. it connects all the major nodes to downtown and to each other, it doesn't ignore the north/south east or west. and it has included plans for future growth - - and if we've learned anything from the past - - we've learned that cities GROW with time.

anyways... thats my bus story.
