The Ottawa Transit Riders wishes that the city would use evidence and data to make decisions. There are lots of studies showing that dedicated bus lanes reduce congestion and improve transit.
Strong Towns Ottawa is another group fighting for a better city. Here is their well-thought out argument about how to improve Bank street: Let’s Make a Better Bank Street – Strong Towns Ottawa
They point out that only 7% of available parking spots are ON Bank street. This might surprise people who have been following the debate since the pro-parking people seem to think that Bank street is the ONLY place anyone can park in the Glebe.
Not true.
They are calling for the city to remove parking on Bank street to have 24/7 bus lanes.
