Great seeing all of the passion from our wonderful members! Nothing beats talking about city politics, our budget, better transit funding, and more, on a Thursday evening!

Can't wait to see what comes of this at future meetings.

Here's some more confirmation about how expensive providing parking is from questions yesterday.

"It costs more to build than what we could get from market leases going forward. And that's average across the city, that's not just us. It's just any parking is not profitable."

This is a choice.

Today at the #lansdowne 2.0 discussion, Darrell Cox, the Glebe BIA representative, spoke about how they think dedicated bus lanes would be amazing for the project, and how it'd improve getting people to Lansdowne events. Glad to hear such support from the Glebe BIA on how bus lanes improve the area!

(4/4) The only solution to these problems is by fast and efficient modes of transportation, bus lanes would fix so many of the issues for getting people to here. We CANNOT fix this with cars

(3/4) Where exactly are more cars going to fit in this space? We need traffic officers just to keep traffic even somewhat "flowing" here. And we want to put more cars on this road?

(2/4) Here's what the QED looks like on event days. Where exactly is all of the Bank Street traffic supposed to go on here? It's at a complete standstill anytime even a moderate amount of people want to come here.

Cars cannot be the way we move a lot of people to a single place!

(1/4) OCOBIA says they want traffic moved from Bank (City-owned) to QED (NCC owned) to handle the traffic for events. They realize that events are already standstill on the QED right?

There's no more space to go!

We need better transit access, bus lanes!
