On Tuesday, September 17, the Ottawa Transit Riders hosted a forum in Barrhaven. Local councillor Wilson Lo attended as did about a dozen residents.
Here is a copy of the report:
We asked participants what sort of improvements they would like to see and they offered the following suggestions.
- Improved infrastructure: Better connections between bike paths and transit stations and safer pedestrian infrastructure.
- Solutions to reduce travel times and congestion: An example raised by participants was the ability for buses to leapfrog traffic on the highway. It was also suggested that mini buses or shuttles that go to local grocery stores and shopping centers be considered to reduce congestion.
- Better planning: Participants expressed that OC Transpo needs to have a clear understanding of future demand to inform further changes to the system.
The Ottawa Transit Riders will host other events in other neighbourhoods throughout the year – where do you think we should go next?
