A friend recently reached out to ask about drainage in front of his home. Given the melts taking place with existing ice cover, this may come in handy: open.ottawa.ca/datasets/cat...

A second round of snow removal will begin on Sunday evening in #Ottawa. The focus will be on urban residential streets, business districts/bike lanes, followed by select arterial and collector roadways where snowbanks have significantly increased and restricted the travel lanes.

Had a great time and congrats to the Old Ottawa East Hosers winning their 4th straight Capital Ward Cup against the Old Ottawa South Moose. Great to see @jleiper.bsky.social who made a visit to the rink at Windsor Park.

The Capital Ward Cup is underway at Windsor Park today (Sat)! Teams from Old Ottawa South, Glebe, Heron Park and Old Ottawa East compete for the cup. There are free donuts and hot chocolate and coffee in the fieldhouse. It runs until about 12:30 or so. Come and join the fun!

Yes and still there I believe

Due to Water Infrastructure Repairs on Merritt Ave (between McNaughton Ave and McGillivray St) clients may experience interruptions in water service.
Water service is expected to be restored within 8 hours.

Welcome to Roberto’s Corner, a new Italian deli sandwich eatery and cafe which just opened up on Bank Street in Old Ottawa South. Life of Pie had been in this location for many years and is already missed but having Roberto’s take its place is also delicious news for Capital Ward.

On Bank Street there are several sections where 24/7 and signal priority would make a difference. Add this to Carling, Baseline, Bronson in front of Carleton etc

A 7 bus came not too much later

Taking the bus into transit committee today. #6 trip I was waiting for is cancelled. Transit users have every right to be feeling frustrated. I’ll be looking for concrete answers today when I arrive.

Salt Storage - we have 17 of these across Ottawa

The operators of these large machines are exceptionally well trained for any circumstances in winter.

Thank you to our snow team in Ottawa. They run one of the best operations in North America. I met with them at Hurdman Yard and had great conversations about their work for residents.

Snow Removal Schedule for Capital Ward tonight, Feb 2nd and tomorrow day time, Feb 3rd.

Feb 2nd PM: Bronson Ave (Sunnyside to Riverside)

Feb 3rd AM: Grove Ave (Bank to Seneca), Telmon St, Scholastic Dr, Deschatelets Ave De Mazenod, and Jeremiah Kealey St.

Actively doing both at the moment. If there are payments held back from RTG, which appears likely, that should be reinvested for riders and the system. And in the meantime push is on for mechanics, used buses and an accountable transparent fix for the LRT.

Congratulations to Stefan and the Glebe Meat Market for 106 years as a small business in Capital Ward!

Thank you to all the Carleton University BPAPM students who recently participated in a case competition with great ideas for Bank Street! Appreciated being able to judge and have Councillors attend in person including several Public Works and Infrastructure Committee Members!

Thank you to the snow removal team in Ottawa for these efficient operations.

In bad week for bus reliability, these were OC Transpo’s 10 most cancelled routes | CBC News OC Transpo’s nightmare week for bus cancellations hit some of its busiest routes especially hard. Now, several city councillors are calling for immediate action.

Right now we need all hands on deck and effort/suggestions from the organization to get this right. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

3) OC Transpo is looking for more used buses to augment its fleet. Last week OC spoke with another city potentially have used but newer buses available (due to LRT implementation) and staff are currently speaking with them.

2) OC Transpo is now sending some buses out of town for refurbishment and repair, recommended by several Ontario agencies. We have begun sending buses to them. We expect the first unit back in the next couple of weeks, followed by a steady rate of approximately one per week.

I have written to OC Transpo about bus reliability issues and confirmed the following as 3 emergency measures:

1) OC is leveraging mechanic resources through the use of overtime, vacation deferrals etc. to increase the time that mechanics are actively working on buses. #ottawa
