No matter how little they tell us in the hours and days ahead…you don’t do this…immediately grind a system to a halt in the middle of rush hour…unless there is a potential major issue with safety #ottnews #lrt #onpoli #ottawa #transit

ONGOING, Line 1: Out of an abundance of caution, R1 bus service implemented between Tunney's Pasture and Blair due to a technical issue. No train service on Line 1. All stations are closed. Updates to follow.

This person couldn't even cross on the walk signal. They had to wait another light cycle and then squeeze through moving traffic, because again, drivers were in the crosswalk.

I called the police again, response: "police are in the area, making sure traffic is flowing".

"Well, could they come HERE, and ticket the drivers that are running red lights and endangering residents?"

"It should be over by tomorrow."

"That's no help to residents today."
