Sharks teeth markings usually also indicate a speed hump / ped crossing yield like this new one on Southmore at Walkley. @RiversideParkCR @HuntClubCA @RiverWardRiley @cyclesixmile
@OC_Transpo #92 bus cut back to Walkley Station (transfer to fewer Hurdman bus to downtown OR future Line 2 every 12 min to Bayview). Only HOURLY in day…for @HuntClubCA @RiversideParkCR students at Fielding School. No weekends. Evenings?
@RiverWardRiley @Airportbridge
Some @OC_Transpo routes like #290 being cancelled completely.
Means extra 800m, 11 minute walk to @HuntClubCA #92 which will only come hourly in off-peak, never on weekends. You can’t get from here in @RiversideParkCR to busy Brookfield HS.

OC Transpo cutting O-Train service to every 10 minutes during midday and evening non-peak periods.
Memo shows OC Transpo expecting 4,400 customers (each direction) during peak periods and 2,900 customers (each direction) during non-peak periods.

Do we know how long “NO TRESPASSING” sign along hydro corridor will remain? Last year was work to upgrade lines, but it’s over and should revert to the way it was the last 60 years: open recreational access. From Southmore backyards for example.
@pastapavia @RiversideParkCR
It is a curve, coming DOWN the hill from the Plante traffic lights towards the railway tracks several cars go off, cross the sidewalk and end up in the brush every winter.
Vehicles increase speed and loose control due to camber of road in ice, rain and snow.
Hopefully the @ottawacity proposal to make the dangerous McCarthy hill curve (between the tracks and Plante traffic light) is better than the options presented a few years ago.
Will we get a safe @BikeOttawa lane? @HuntClubCA @RiversideParkCR
Ottawa Hydro power still out on/around Impala, watch the traffic lights at Plante.

Sadly, takes less than a minute to saw and tip each 50 year-old pine at Billy Bishop Private and Hunt Club. A large part of forest already stripped. Police keeping an eye on potential trespassers?
Parking lot expansions to come?
@RiverWardRiley @HuntClubCA
Also complete discontinuation of @OC_Transpo #290, so far ends of Fielding, Southmore and other side of VIA track underpass etc have a much longer walk. No buses on S end of Springland.

So no #90 bus service, or any @OC_Transpo on Riverside through Revelstoke, Quesnel, Leopolds, Malhotra (big apartments)
Zero?

The Hunt Club Community Center is offering @ottawacity Health Unit Flu and COVID immunizations for 65+ today and Saturday afternoon. No appointments needed, not too busy this morning.

Wrong. Peds crossing slip lane (busy near Brookfield HS) are safer as they can see vehicles at right angle. W/O slip lane, peds need to look behind to avoid right hook on green light.
@Carleton_U @Ottawacity redesigned Bronson/Sunnyside slips well. @RiverWardRiley @robertlendvai
