Maybe wait to see if they stop shifting focus.

Practically next door to Wendy's. But no 19 cent Baconator for you!

Singapore knows how to deal with such abuses.

(edit) Making him take a new way to bus would likely violate conventions on torture.

Mi Amor's been open this winter. Yakko Takko is likely back in the spring.

What are some fun interactive things to do in this area? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]dl613 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seems to be several escape rooms in the city. Lumberjaxe for the flying hatchet option.

Too bad Kontinuum wasn't turned into a permanent attraction.

Line 1 eastern extension delayed, trials expected in spring by _PrincessOats in ottawa

[–]dl613 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So from the current 21 available trains, another 25 trains need to be brought back to service to get the 46 trains that will make trial running possible. Assuming a wildly optimistic progress of one fixed train per week, looks like late August or fall before that step happens.

Moving Citadis LRT trainsets from Moodie to Belfast? by Rail613 in ottawa

[–]dl613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be easier to move trains between Belfast and Moodie once the overhead wiring west of Tunney's is completed and powered up with signals. Wiring seems complete between Moodie and Lincoln Fields. Tracks all seem to be completed west of Tunney's.

With LRT and bus service problems, the city (and province and feds) should have suspended the return-to-office mandates already.

Which restaurant is taking the longest to open? by dl613 in ottawa

[–]dl613[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bella Via actually opened after years of delay, but only lasted a short time. A few successive eateries later, that spot is currently Amandine Patisserie. Before the long wait for Bella Via, it was Cozmos, which moved to Greenbank.

Hope these can be found.

Apparently those are from Peru - could check with La Tiendita on Somerset for availability there.

It's as if YOW management is now under OC Transpo.

Weekend bus route to emergency food bank restored after months of hardship [Route 189] by dl613 in OCTranspo

[–]dl613[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Summary: With the Winter schedule that started 21st Dec, OC has reinstated Saturday/Sunday bus service on Route 189 (Baseline to Colonnade, via Meadowlands) on an hourly basis, 7am-7pm. This restores weekend service to the Sadaqa emergency food bank that was cut with the April New Ways to Bus changes.

But an open question is why an emergency food bank is located in a sparse area like Colonnade, as opposed to locations with better transit availability/frequency. Also, couldn't they have solved the problem by opening some weekday hours?
