Audio/video presentation of where the Ottawa Gatineau Bank Street O-Train Subway would go.

It would immediately boost ridership on Confederation Line 1 by giving residents access to our whole city.

It’s time, our population is now 1,651,660 people #OttNews #OttCity

Bus driver revealed tonight that city and OC Transpo in talks about Bank Street O-Train Subway plans

[spgottawa @SPGOttawa]

@hogwashjosh @BankStOtrain Go underground!

[FriendsOfBankStreetOtrain @BankStOtrain]

@OCFailspo The time is now for the Bsnk Street O-Train Subway

[FriendsOfBankStreetOtrain @BankStOtrain]

With Lansdowne 2.0 proceeding in Ottawa, the time for the Bank Street O-Train subway - connecting Billings Bridge Shopping Centre to Terrasse de la Chaudière in Gatineau - is now. This is especially true given the NHL Senators' proposed downtown arena.

We’re moving Ottawa forward! Lansdowne 2.0 is a smart, responsible plan that invests in one of the city’s biggest attractions, while protecting taxpayers and reducing risk. This project will give us a better, more accessible Lansdowne, upgraded infrastructure, vibrant public spaces, and new opportunities for events, sports, and public gatherings. It will support local businesses, create thousands of jobs, attract visitors, and put millions toward affordable housing. Lansdowne belongs to the people of Ottawa, and this plan ensures it will serve our city for decades to come.

Nous faisons avancer Ottawa ! Lansdowne 2.0 est un plan intelligent et responsable qui investit dans l’une des plus grandes attractions de la ville, tout en protégeant les contribuables et en réduisant les risques. Ce projet offrira un Lansdowne plus moderne et plus accessible, avec des infrastructures améliorées, des espaces publics dynamiques et de nouvelles possibilités pour les événements, les sports et les rassemblements communautaires. Il appuiera les entreprises locales, créera des milliers d’emplois, attirera des visiteurs et contribuera des millions de dollars au logement abordable. Lansdowne appartient aux gens d’Ottawa, et ce plan garantit qu’il servira notre ville pour les décennies à venir.

[FriendsOfBankStreetOtrain @BankStOtrain]

@_MarkSutcliffe We need this

[FriendsOfBankStreetOtrain @BankStOtrain]

@OttawaUke @_MarkSutcliffe We agree

[Peter Forrest @OttawaUke]

@_MarkSutcliffe We need a subway under Bank street from Wellington to South Keys. Lansdowne 2.0 would flourish.

[FriendsOfBankStreetOtrain @BankStOtrain]

We agree

[Josh L @OMGitsJosh]

Lansdowne is in a fantastic location for sports and events.

If there is good transit.

How have we accepted the status quo on Bank Street for decades? It's Ottawa's de facto main street, it requires a proper transit solution. Subway, streetcars, bus lanes... Anything.

@ABetterOttawa Bank street is a prime place for a streetcar. You could run it all the way to south keys for another LRT connection. No parking on Bank would free up a lot of space.

[Billy Strathdee @billy_strathdee]

@DerrickSimpson_ Bank street LRT. Some kind of Bank Street LRT.

[Jasperave @Jasperave87]

@BankStOtrain @Arturmaks @_MarkSutcliffe Unlike the now barely used commuter LRT, I believe a line down Bank Street would be well used and take a lot of private vehicles out of the core.

[Adam @ajprince]

@BiniIrl @DerrickSimpson_ Yeah fair enough. Bring it to Billings for sure

[Adam @ajprince]

@DerrickSimpson_ Thoughts on an underground Bank street LRT route instead?

[Martyscyberspace 🦬 @Martyscyberspot]

@duncrae @Toon_Dreessen @HansontheBike @DevineSean @tm_kavanagh @laine_johnson1 This and Bank street LRT are on the needed list.

[FriendsOfBankStreetOtrain @BankStOtrain]

@Martyscyberspot @duncrae @siobhanwanders Agreed

[Martyscyberspace 🦬 @Martyscyberspot]

@auth_secure @duncrae @siobhanwanders The brutal irony here is we could really use a bank street LRT that goes from the core to billings would make Landsdown a more accessible site and better suited to hosting events and farmers market accessibility. @BankStOtrain

[CrackerJack @crackerjackor]

@_MarkSutcliffe #ottawa needs a bold vision for transit. Bank Street is packed daily and only growing. A subsurface LRT along Bank would ease congestion, connect communities, and future-proof the city. Let’s stop patching and start planning for real. #OttLRT #BankStreet

[James O'Grady @james_ogrady]

@Ed52626180 @ClintonDesveaux @unpubmedia Bc it’s not being built in the right place for the right reasons. The North-South LRT corridor was basically canceled to appease developers along East-West corridor who owned land. Like many of Jim Watson’s donors. Building a Bank street subway would alleviate many problems…
