Air traffic changes from September 16-27 near the Ottawa International Airport.

[Bernie Geiger @CounterClick]

At @HuntClubCA did @RiverWardRiley mention the complete end of @OC_Transpo #290 connecting Southmore, Fielding, Brookfield HS, BillingsB and Hurdman?
And that #92 was going from 30 min to hourly daytime service. And NONE weekends.
When Trillium Line opens. @RiversideParkCR

[Riley Brockington @RiverWardRiley]

At tonight's @HuntClubCA Board meeting, I provided an update on: St Mary's and OCH Shearwater development proposals, Trillium Line (remaining work), community centre roof work, Owl Park dog designation modification proposal, Wendy Stewart ponds cleanout, OP bylaw review.

Various Alberta governments have experimented with increased private delivery to reduce surgical wait times — but none have resulted in a long-term, sustainable reduction in wait times, by Rebecca Graff-McRae https://t.co/9E0FWzmGje via @calgaryherald @ParklandInst

This zoning change is important for all @HuntClubCA and @RiversideParkCR residents. Will it allow buildings as tall as @Airportbridge? Or just as tall as its ramps?

@PierrePoilievre needs to read and understand this. And so do all Canadians.
Virtually every G-20 runs an annual deficit and has a “national debt”.

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

The national debt need never be repaid https://t.co/WOCwwb40fC The national debt is widely misunderstood. The reality is that this is not a burden. It underpins UK banking. It’s fundamental to UK savers. And a part of it is the UK represents the government’s way of creating the money supply on which we all depend. Repaying it would be absolutely disastrous.

Sharks teeth markings usually also indicate a speed hump / ped crossing yield like this new one on Southmore at Walkley. @RiversideParkCR @HuntClubCA @RiverWardRiley @cyclesixmile

[cyclesixmile @cyclesixmile]

Drivers, without looking it up, what do these markings mean?

Uplands will be new permanent home to $65-million military facility to control RCAF’s new drone fleet.
60,000 sqft installation to be built at Uplands Base by 2028. Home to 200 military personnel to operate and control drones in BC NS & Arctic. @HuntClubCA @RiversideParkCR

[Riley Brockington @RiverWardRiley]

Heavy rain warning for tonight and tomorrow, up to 90mm possible.
Prepare accordingly.

Is the catch basin by your home clear of debris? Please take a look and clear it, if needed, with thanks.

Cut @OC_Transpo #90 and #92 bus service to intermediate Fielding and to Brookfield HS.
Then wonder why roads are so congested twice a day at schools and have to juggle schedule to get kids home quick and safe.

[Peorhum @Peorhum]

@CounterClick @OC_Transpo @HuntClubCA @RiversideParkCR @RiverWardRiley The 291 is disappearing too and turning into a white square 92... I thought the 200 numbered bus were so much better then modified versions of another bus. It was like one bus that went from Billings, it had 3 versions, with a letter, each going to a different place.

[Bernie Geiger @CounterClick]

@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

[Bernie Geiger @CounterClick]

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.
@RiverWardRiley

[Riley Brockington @RiverWardRiley]

Do you support motorists speeding in school zones & safety zones?
Your govt limits where this technology can be used.
Your govt insists on advance notice signage.
In Ottawa, all revenues go back in to road safety programs.
The Police have limited resources to enforce speed limits

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.

@RiverWardRiley Hurray! But how long before the bus knuckles re-appear? Need concrete underneath.
Uplands and PA has/had them too.
@HuntClubCA

[Bernie Geiger @CounterClick]

@ctvottawa How many times have @ottawacity and @NCC_CCN “rebuilt” this stretch in the last decade to build/rebuild bike paths, HOV, and bus lanes? It’s different every time I go through there.
