These are the highlights: iii LeBreton Flats Protracted negotiations between the NCC and the other two landowners — the Region of Ottawa-Carleton and the City of Ottawa — have finally been concluded.

    February 2020 Why bus route 9 and its service need fixing Op-Ed by Sarah Anson- Cartwright Ottawa’s unreliable bus ser- vice was the subject of media investigations and revelations long before the launch of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) last fall. Last year, the lived real- ity of bus riders was backed up in media reports with hard evidence. Journalists report- ed, for example, that more than 6,000 bus trips were can- celled in one month alone in 2019 based on OC Transpo www.newedinburgh.ca data – and the public were not informed of all those cancel- lations in real-time, either. Service to and from New Edinburgh has suffered over the past few years, too. Given the most recent change to bus route 9, as well as continuing performance issues, it is time to stake a claim.
