Good
morning,
every
good
morning,
everyone
bozo
artists,
it's
an
honor
to
be
able
to
start
Transit
Commission
meetings
by
recognizing
OC
transfer
employees
who
have
gone
above
and
beyond
the
call
of
duty
to
help
others
in
need.
Today,
you'll
hear
two
inspiring
stories
from
months
of
August
and
September.
This
acknowledgement
is
part
of
our
trans
secure
program,
which
is
a
well
established
community
watch
program
on
wheels.
C
Synthetic

knock
out
the
program
crowns
secure,
so
this
will
build
the

I'll
be

the
late
night
of

bus
are
very
popular.
Christian
was
driving
route
12
in
the
Jasmine
Crescent
area
when
he
came
across
a
passerby
on
the
side
of
the
road
who
was
helping.
A
male
who
had
just
been
stabbed
Christian
immediately
stopped
his
bus
and
contacted
the
transit
operations,
controls
trainer,
who
then
contacted
o-p-s
and
emergency
medical
services.
C
The
passerby,
who
was
on
scene,
then
asked
Christian
if
he
had
first-aid
kit
on
board
his
bus,
which
he
did
Christian,
remained
on
scene
to
assist
the
passerby
and
leisure
male.
Until
emergency
services
arrived
once,
they
arrived,
Christian
provided
his
statement
and
redirected
passengers
to
another
bus.
As
the
road
was
closed
for
the
investigation,
the
male
was
then
transported
to
hospital
and
it
very
fortunately
survived
his
injuries
on
September
4.
Just
before
8:00
p.m.
bus
operator,
Manuel
was
traveling
down
Montreal
road
on
route
12.
C
When
he
noticed
a
two
year
old
boy
was
by
himself
at
the
bus,
stop
with
urgency.
Manuel
immediately
stopped
his
bus
to
assist
the
child.
Once
the
child
was
sheltered.
On
the
bus,
Manuel
contacted
the
transit
operations
control
center,
who
dispatched
who
dispatched
special
constables
in
contact
of
the
Ottawa
police.
When
the
police
arrived
shortly
thereafter,
they
were
able
to
reunite
the
child
with
his
mother
I'm,
so
very
grateful.
The
Christian
Manuel
are
both
here
today
and
I'd
like
to
invite
them
up
to
accept
their
their
certificates.
C
Well,
good
morning,
everyone
and
welcome
to
the
Transit
Commission
meeting
of
the
21st
of
October
2015.
We
do
have
quorum
of
the
Commission
as
we
begin
the
meeting.
Are
there
any
declarations
of
interests?
Seeing
none
would
you
have
regrets
from
film
Commissioner
Burt
confirmation
of
the
minutes
from
September,
14,
2005
or
2015?
Excuse
me,
those
are
carried.
Thank
you
item
number
1
office,
the
other
general
report
on
auto
audit
follow-ups,
a
detailed
audit
follow-up
reports
or
any
questions
or
comments
very
quickly.
D
D
Very
thorough
and
thank
you
one
of
the
recommendations
for
scheduling
process
for
bus
operators
that
the
and
because
it
speaks
to
efficiency
and
labor
costs.
The
hostes
scheduling
software
is
that
is
that
still
in
use,
and
is
that
and
the
emissary
the
recommendation
number
two:
could
you
just
comment
on
on
that
and
and
how
that
recommendation
is
going?
Yes,.
E
D
On
the
second
audit,
the
addict
of
communication
for
canceled
trips,
now
I
apologize
on
the
recommendation.
Six
and
eight
it
refers
to
recommendation
six
referred
to
a
six-week
scheduling
process
that
it
should
be
adjusted
or
benchmarked
to
other
transit
Commission's
and,
while
I
have
the
the
microphone
correct.
If
you
could
speak
to
recommendation
eight
as
I
don't
believe,
it's
been
fully
implemented.
The
automated
alternative
to
the
existing
manual
booking
process,
certainly.
E
E
We
do
more
interlining
than
most
transit
agencies
do,
and
so,
with
respect
to
automation,
I
know
everyone
speaks
to
that
sure
that
must
be
done
easy
to
do
it's
not
it's
a
complex
booking
process
and
we
have
done
in
our
upgrades
to
booking
systems
and
asus
and
all
the
other
systems
that
feed
into
that
we've
mapped
that
out
in
consultation
with
the
union,
with
staff
every
step
and
were
certainly
positioning.
The
upgrades
to
be
able
to
do
that.
E
We
don't
have
the
exact
timeline
as
to
when
we
can
do
that,
but
it
is
complex
and
we
need
to
think
through
that
and
so
we're
being
very
cautious
in
in
when,
with
the
you
know,
providing
exact
basis
to
when
we
can
do
that
and
what
shape
that
will
look
like.
We
know
the
process
that's
been
mapped
out.
We
know
automation
can
assist
what
that's
going
to
look
like
and
how
that's
going
to
roll
out
and
the
consultations
that
we
need
to
have
with
our
union
partners
and
staff
is
complicated.
D
Thank
you
in
just
one
last
question.
Mr.
chair
on
the
communication
of
canceled
trips
recommendation
number
three
upgrade
to
the
computer
says
just
anticipating
the
December
changes
that
you'll
be
discussing
later
in
this
in
this
committee
meeting
are
you
we
will
have
to
ensure
as
you've
done
in
the
past
and
then
on
June
28th,
that
canceled
trips
or
adjustments
to
schedule
that
well
communicated.
Are
you?
Are
you
comfortable
with
the
the
level
of
Technology
and
the
server
the
upgrades
to
the
computer
systems
too,
to
accommodate
those
those
those
changes
that
are
coming
so.
E
We've
closed
some
of
the
gaps,
there
are
still
manual
processes
and
sub
processes,
as
we
will
put
in
our
management
response
again.
The
new
integrated
upgrades
on
our
computer
systems,
which
we're
aiming
to
do
and
complete
by
the
end
of
2017,
so
that
we
don't
get
into
that
complex
environment
of
the
Confederation
line.
Testing
and
commissioning
will
be
there.
So
it's
much
better
than
before,
and
we've
closed
all
the
gaps
that
the
Auditor
General
has
identified.
It
is
not
fully
automated,
it
will
be,
and
that's
probably
upgrades
that
we
refer
to
in
our
management
responses.
E
The
the
other
piece
on
this
is
that
you
know
we
remind
everyone
that
the
the
last-minute
push
that
we
do
out
to
our
customers
is
because
we're
trying
to
do
everything
possible
to
fill
that
cancel
bus.
So
it's
not
because
we
don't
want
to
communicate
it.
It's
because
we
have,
as
I've
said
before
the
highest
standard
and
the
bus
industry
in
terms
of
automated
bus
cancellation
and
so
we're
trying
to
fill
that
trip
right
to
that
last.
Second,
if
we
can-
and
if
we
can't,
then
we
push
that
that
message.
C
C
C
Number
four
is
my
report
from
the
annual
conference
of
Cuba
I
was
very
honored
to
be
avoided
to
the
National
transit
board
was
at
computer
conference
earlier
this
year.
Be
happy,
I
answer
any
questions.
If
anyone
has
them,
if
not,
is
this
received?
Thank
you
very
much.
We'll
go
back
to
item
number
three
and
over
to
you,
miss
Franklin
Thank.
E
You
mr.
chair,
just
before
I
start
number
three
I'd
like
to
introduce
a
new
member
to
our
senior
management
team.
It's
mr.
Jim
Hopkins
used
to
my
it's
on
the
left
of
me.
He's
our
new
chief
Safety,
Officer
you'll,
recall
I,
sent
out
a
memo
a
while
ago
that
we
did
an
extensive,
North,
American
search.
It
took
us
a
year
to
to
secure
mr.
Hopkins
he's
got
30
years
of
experience
a
lot
of
rail
experience.
He
he
was
part
of
the
Vancouver
skytrain
operation.
E
He
built
this
safety
management
system
for
that
organization,
and
he
was
also
there
during
the
the
complicated
logistics
associated
with
the
Olympics.
He
he
started
on
Monday,
so
he's
got
lots
to
do
and
we're
very
happy
to
have
him
on
board.
I
know
our
rail
partners.
Mr.
crypts
is
excited
that
he's
joined
our
team
and
also
our
consortium
is
very
excited
to
have
him
on
our
team.
He
they
know
him
from
the
industry.
E
He
is
the
president
of
comedian,
Society
of
safety
engineering,
so
he's
he's
a
top-notch
professional
and
very
happy
to
have
him
on
the
senior
management
team.
That's
sitting
here
with
you
today.
Thank
you
with
respect
to
report
number
three
there's
two
parts
to
this
presentation:
I'm
going
to
ask
mr.
Crips
to
give
you
an
overview
of
the
construction
related
activities
that
are
linking
up
to
these
services
estimates,
and
then
mr.
Scrimgeour
is
going
to
give
you
a
presentation
on
how
the
service
adjustments
are
going
to
be
implemented,
communicated
and
shared
with
our
customers.
Mr.
E
scrimshaw
is
that
presentation
is
a
lengthy
one.
There's
a
lot
of
detail
to
it.
I
remind
everyone,
as
I
mentioned,
the
technical
briefing
what's
very
important
is
that
it
relates
to
the
customer
journey
of
customers
always
want
to
know
what
does
it
mean
to
my
specific
route
on
my
trip?
So,
while
there's
a
lot
of
detail,
the
key
piece-
that's
always
important,
is
how
do
we
support
our
customers
through
the
journey
in
terms
of
these
changes,
so
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
mr.
Crips
Thank.
A
A
So
moving
to
the
to
the
next
slide
gives
a
quick
snapshot
so
currently
in
place
in
terms
of
Transitway
closures
were
way
back
in
2013,
the
Laurier
Nicholas
realignment
was
implemented
back
in
December
of
last
year,
the
the
boot
Street
was
closed
and
the
Preston
detour
was
implemented
at
lebreton
station
and
then
the
big
closure
on
June
28th
of
this
year
of
the
East
transit
way
between
urban
station
and
Blair
stations.
So
those
are
the
three
currently
any
so
upcoming.
A
Transitway
closures
for
the
balance
of
the
Confederation
line
project
happened
in
four
four
different
time
frames
and
four
different
elements
showing
there
at
the
bottom
of
this
slide.
The
first
one
is
a
little
bit
of
a
change
from
the
previous
schedule
in
it
it
reflects
the
closure
between
these
and
Herrmann
station,
and
that
will
be
in
effect.
This
December
and
I'll
provide
more
details
on
the
rationale
for
that
in
upcoming
slides.
A
The
next
section.
That's
closed.
After
that
and
bounces
over
to
the
Western
detour,
so
it's
the
first
section
of
the
Western
detour
from
Merton
Street
easterly
to
Empress,
and
that
will
happen
on
January
17th
of
2016.
That's
a
slight
change
from
previous
communications.
It
was
also
going
to
be
December
of
this
year,
but
working
with
our
colleagues
in
OC
Transpo,
we
have
put
some
time
between
Elise
to
her
enclosure
and
the
Merton
to
Empress
closure
just
to
allow
for
a
more
efficient
and
effective
rollout
of
a
service
adjustment.
A
So
so
the
Merton
to
Empress
is
a
slight
change
going
to
next
April
of
2016
is
the
continuation
of
the
Eastern
Eastern
transit
way
closures.
So
that's
from
Lee's
station
northerly
up
to
LOI
a
and
then
finally,
in
June
of
next
year,
is
the
the
Tonys
pasture
end
of
the
Western
Western
transit
way
closure
from
Smurl
to
Merton.
A
So
this
slide
just
shows
a
graphic
of
the
of
the
eastern
transit
way
closures,
with
the
major
change,
as
I
mentioned,
being
that
a
short
section
in
purple
air
from
Lees
to
herdmen,
and
I
provide
a
bit
more
detail
on
that
in
the
upcoming
slide
and,
of
course,
the
the
green
section.
There
completes
the
East
Indy
tour
next
April
from
Lee's
northerly
up
to
Laurier.
A
So
those
unforeseen
upgrades
are
required
currently
or
it
will
be
implemented
debt
currently
once
the
Transitway
closures
and
closes
on
December
20th,
it's
it's
the
part
of
normal
bridge
rehabilitation
it.
It
is
something
that
isn't
time
critical,
but
this
is
certainly
the
right
time
to
do
it
before
the
Confederation
line
is
implemented,
so
the
upgrades
will
be
done
and
that
bridge
will
provide
many
years
of
service
life
and
then
again
the
the
last
part
of
that
closure
again
from
April
or
from
Lee's
up
to
Laurier,
happens
in
in
April
2016.
A
So
just
a
aerial
view
of
the
bridge
in
question
and
the
section
that
will
be
closed
and
again
it's
the
the
bridge
will
be
closed.
This
December
that
will
allow
RTG
to
undertake
those
upgrades
to
the
bridge
between
now
in
the
spring
and
then
once
the
balance
of
a
closure
and
the
Eastern
transit
way
happens.
They'll
they'll
convert
that
over
to
to
light
rail
between
now
and
spring
of
2018,
so
that
bridge
and
that
section
does
contain
accommodations
for
pedestrians
and
cyclists.
A
Communications
will
continue
between
my
office,
the
rail
office
and
OC
Transpo
to
continue
the
the
communications
of
the
closures
and
the
the
resulting
service
adjustments
and
then,
of
course,
on
December
20th.
The
bridge
will
close,
and
that
concludes
my
presentation.
I'll
turn
it
over
to
mr.
Scrimgeour
I.
F
Guess
thanks
Steve,
it's
already
a
little
close
to
the
mic
there.
As
Steve
said,
the
transit
way
is
closing
in
in
these
phases
and
we're
about
halfway
through
the
list
by
by
June
of
next
year.
All
of
the
transit
way
between
Tiny's
pasture
and
Blair
is
closed
and
remains
closed
for
the
next
two
years
until
the
Confederation
Line
trains
are
ready
to
accept
customers.
F
So
the
first
is
to
improve
travel
time
in
the
afternoon
on
express
trips
going
to
Orleans.
Those
trips
will
bypass
Blair
Station
to
this
point,
they've
been
leaving
the
highway
looping
into
Blair
station
and
then
picking
up
the
trans
away.
From
that
point,
what
they'll
do
in
the
in
the
afternoon
is
they'll
use
the
bus
lanes
on
on
the
174
right
through
Blair
Road
that
will
save
travel
time
of
about
3
or
4
minutes
per
trip
for
about
5,000
customers.
F
Each
afternoon
there
are
some
customers
who
now
get
on
those
buses
at
Blair
about
200
per
day,
and
what
they
will
have
to
do
is
ride
the
frequent
service
from
Blair
out
to
Jean,
d'arc
or
plaster
layout
and
make
the
transfer
to
their
Express
route
there,
but
that
combined
service
runs
about
every
2
minutes.
The
second
is
to
reduce
travel
time
for
people
who
now
use
your
101,
especially
people
who
are
travelling
to
and
from
Orleans
and
across
to
areas
like
the
Civic,
Hospital
and
Bay
Shore
will
introduce
a
new
route.
F
103
that'll
half
the
trips
on
route
101
will
be
labeled
as
103,
and
the
103
trips
will
bypass
herdmen
station
in
both
directions
and
we'll
bypass
aller
on
station
and
eastbound
trips
like
grid
91
and
the
Express
routes
to,
and
that
will
provide
faster
travel
times
for
about
250
customer
trips
a
day.
It'll
save
them
five
minutes
in
the
morning
and
up
to
16
minutes
in
the
afternoon,
and
at
other
times
the
day
I
was
had
rush
hours.
Route
101
will
continue
to
run,
just
as
it
does
now.
F
So.
The
second
set
of
service
changes
that
I
want
to
talk
to
you
about
today
is
the
those
associated
with
the
closure
of
the
transit
way
between
Leeds
and
herdmen,
the
closure
that
Steve
talked
about
a
few
minutes
ago.
The
highlights
here
are
the
transit
way
will
close
between
Leeds
and
herdmen
never
to
reopen
as
a
bus
operation.
The
next
time
we
carry
customers
across
that
bridge,
it
will
be
in
trains,
Lee's
station
and
hurtin
stations
remain
open
at
Lee's.
It's
at
the
upper
level
on
Lee's
Avenue.
F
The
bus
stops
there
and
it
heard
Minh
is
the
current
temporary
platform,
which
continues
in
use
until
the
middle
of
next
year.
The
buses
that
now
use
the
bridge
that's
closing
to
get
in
and
out
of
downtown
will
be
crossing
the
Rideau
River,
using
the
bus
only
lanes
on
highway
417
and
for
most
buses.
F
That
means
they
also
bypass
Lee
station
for
those
coming
from
the
south
still
serve
herdmen
station
ruta
95
from
the
east
will
bypass
Erdman
station
in
both
directions
will
extend,
will
change
route
85
so
that
it
runs
along
king
edward
between
downtown
and
lee's
station
to
connect
the
university
of
ottawa
main
campus,
with
their
Lee's
campus,
will
introduce
a
new
route
104,
which
I'll
show
you
more
details
on
in
a
few
slides
to
continue
the
connection
from
herd.
Minh
two
points
to
the
east.
F
This
map
shows
the
section
the
section
on
the
right
is
the
section
of
transit
way.
That's
been
closed
since
June.
The
section
on
the
left
is
the
section
that
closes
in
December
and
the
dark
line
shows
how
the
buses
from
the
south
will
operate
through
herdmen
station
looping
on
to
the
highway
and
across
and
into
downtown,
and
this
diagram
shows
conceptually
how
the
bus
service
will
operate,
that
most
of
the
service
to
and
from
the
east.
F
So
going
through
these
route
by
route
route
95
as
I
said,
we'll
bypass
Hardman
Station
and
that
provides
a
quicker
travel
time
for
East
10
customers.
With
this
change
route,
95
and
route
91
will
be
exactly
the
same
on
westbound
service,
bypassing
herdmen
leads
but
route
90
591
a
different
eastbound
because
we're
ninety
five
is
the
one
that
goes
into
Celeron
station
and
route.
91
bypasses
several
customers
who
are
travelling
to
it
from
the
east
from
points
west
or
herdmen.
F
At
the
times
that
they
can't
choose
route
91,
which
means
evenings
and
weekends,
will
save
two
to
four
minutes.
Travel
time,
as
I
said,
will
introduce
the
new
route
104
to
continue
the
connection
from
the
east
Herrmann
station
and,
of
course,
route.
95
continues
to
run
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week.
F
This
replaces
the
connection
the
route
95
makes
at
herdmen
station,
so
customers
at
herd
men
who
would
get
to
herdmen
can
still
transfer
to
go
east.
It
replaces
the
section
of
route
104
that
currently
operates
between
herdmen
and
carlton.
It
also
replaces
the
current
peak
extensions,
every
129
that
we
introduced
in
September.
F
These
buses
will
serve
herd,
Mancera,
Blair
and
plaster
around
stations
in
both
directions,
and
we
estimate
that
there's
about
3500
customers
a
day
who
will
save
a
transfer
at
herdmen
station
and
will
save
waiting
time
and
route
for
continues
to
operate
as
it
does
now,
but
only
between
Carleton,
University
and
downtown.
So
this
map
shows
in
the
darker
color
route
for
between
Carlton
and
Andreo
Center
and
in
red
the
route
104
from
Carlton
University
along
the
southeast
transit
way
through
building
this
bridge
up
to
herdsman
and
then
east
along
the
highway
towards
Orleans.
F
Currently,
it's
faster
to
travel
from
Orleans
to
the
hospital
by
going
via
a
herdmen
station
than
if
the
buses
were
to
go
over
Iowa
and
that
change
was
made
in
2009.
But
with
with
your
routes
going
into
her
administration,
we
need
to
provide
that
connection
up
at
a
place,
that's
easier
for
people
to
get
to,
and
we
can
do
that
at
South
Station,
and
this
will
save
a
transfer
for
about
400
customer
trips
each
day.
F
F
Herdmen
station
continues
to
be
a
busy
busy
station,
just
not
as
busy
as
it
has
been
there's
still
a
couple
of
dozen
routes
serving
the
the
station,
as
you
can
see
there
and
there's
a
list
of
the
routes
that
will
still
be
going
through
herdmen
station
and
using
the
Rideau
River
bridge
to
get
into
downtown.
So
there's
still
a
lot
of
bus
service
for
customers
traveling
from
herdmen
into
downtown,
but
with
these
trips
that
are
bypassing
herdmen,
there
will
be
few
of
us
as
at
herd
Minh.
This
will
be
a
further
reduction.
F
There's
been
a
reduction
in
the
number
of
us
is
already
with
the
changes
that
started
in
June
and
a
further
reduction
with
these
changes
in
December
to
bring
the
number
of
buses
per
hour
down
to
about
two
hundred
and
fifty
buses
now
in
the
morning
at
230
buses
an
hour
in
the
afternoon.
So
that
will
reduce
congestion
at
the
station
further
and
will
reduce
the
potential
for
delays
from
the
congestion
Lee's
station.
As
I
mentioned,
it
remains
open
at
the
upper-level
route.
F
At
Lee's
Lee's
station
will
also
be
served
by
the
crosstown
route,
6
101
in
the
new
103
in
both
directions
and
the
mainline
Transitway
roads
that
are
going
east
and
south
routes.
91
and
95
going
east
route.
98.7
will
make
a
stop
at
least
a
ssin
on
their
eastbound
and
southbound
trips,
and
that
will
allow
people
to
get
to
Lee's,
Avenue
and
Lee's
campus
quite
quickly
still
on
the
transit
way.
And
we
can
do
that
from
now
until
the
next
section
of
transit
way
closes
when
we'll
have
to
make
a
change
again.
F
This
map
shows
the
different
routes
operating
through
Lee's,
Station
and
dashed
red.
You
see
the
section
on
transit
way.
That's
closing.
Purple
shows
how
rude
85
will
operate
along
King,
Edward
and
through
this
have
been
to
Sandy
Hill.
Turning
around
at
least
station.
The
green
and
the
blue
ruse
show
route,
101,
103
and
6
the
crosstown
routes,
and
then
in
red
you
can
see,
have
the
eastbound
trips
on
routes,
91,
95
and
98
will
make
a
stop
at
leas
as
they
loop
up
off
the
transit
way
and
before
they
go
on
to
the
highway.
F
There's
a
few
other
route
changes
in
connection
with
the
leads
to
hurt
men,
closure
of
the
transit
way,
the
West
End
express
routes
and
route
176
from
Merivale
and
Holland
will
be
shortened
so
that
they
end
at
Mackenzie,
King
Bridge.
In
the
morning,
people
who
are
travelling
further
east
than
Mackenzie
King
will
transfer
to
another
route
there
that
continues.
F
East
route,
41
and
43
coming
up
from
the
south
will
be
shortened
to
end
at
herdmen
station
and
about
400
customer
trips
a
day
will
have
an
additional
transfer
to
those
many
other
routes
that
connect
hurt
man
into
downtown
route,
114
and
192,
which
operate
from
the
area
south
of
salò.
Our
station
will
end
at
seminar
station
rather
than
at
hurt
one
and
read
602,
which
are
the
trips
that
connect
the
transit
way
with
De
La
Salle
High
School
will
operate
from
Mackenzie
King
Bridge,
rather
than
from
hurt-,
as
it
does
now
on.
F
These
changes
will
help
buses
that
are
going
from
herdmen
station
to
417,
yet
they're
more
consistently
more
reliably
without
getting
caught
in
as
much
traffic
and
will
reduce
pressure
on
the
Riverside
industrial
intersection.
In
particular,
the
long
left
turn
that
eastbound
buses
are
making
now
when
they
cross
herdmen
station.
F
So
the
red
line
shows
how
buses
that
are
coming
from.
The
Souths,
for
example,
will
come
through
herdmen
station
leave,
heard
minh
and
then
turn
left
and
loop
up
onto
terminal
south
on
Sandford
Fleming
west,
on
industrial
and
back
north
on
Riverside,
and
most
of
that
travel
will
be
in
bus.
Only
lanes.
F
Here's
a
diagram
of
how
the
the
new
bus
lane
will
look
when
it's
built
on
the
north
side
of
industrial,
between
Sandford,
Fleming
and
Riverside
and
construction
has
just
started
on
that,
and
this
is
a
diagram
to
show
how
buses
can
continue
through
the
intersection.
That's
a
lane.
That's
normally
only
used
for
right
turning
traffic,
but
buses
will
be
able
to
continue
straight
and
then
merge
in
with
other
traffic
when
they
get
up
to
the
area.
That's
shaded
in
yellow
there.
F
That's
in
place
already
has
been
for
a
week
or
so
and
is
already
helping
out
route
9
the
one
route
that
goes
that
way,
as
Steve
mentioned,
we're
meeting
with
stakeholders
through
the
rios
consultation
process
met
with
the
University
of
Ottawa
and
several
community
associations
representing
theory
around
Leeds.
The
university
brought
to
us
their
concern
that
there
wouldn't
be
enough
time
for
students
to
change
between
classes
at
their
Lee's
campus
on
the
main
campus,
and
so
we've
made
changes
there
in
consultation
with
them
extending
route
85
to
Lee's
station
and
having
the
routes.
F
F
So
then
the
third
set
of
route
changes
are
those
related
to
the
closure
of
the
transit
way
on
the
west
side
of
downtown
between
Merton
and
Empress,
and
these
start
in
mid-january.
The
highlights
here
are,
though,
the
transit
way
closes
between
Merton
Street,
which
is
about
halfway
between
baby
station
and
Tiny's
pasture
station
and
Empress
Avenue,
just
east
of
lebreton
station
next
to
good
companions.
F
Bayview
station
stationary
fact
that
they
both
remain
open,
but
the
platforms
were
relocated
to
Albert
Street
and,
along
with
this,
the
trillium
line
platform
at
baby
station
is
also
being
relocated
a
little
further
south
to
be
closer
to
the
bus.
The
the
new
bus
platforms
in
Albert
Street
and
to
be
away
from
the
construction
of
the
Confederation
line,
part
of
Bayview
station.
That
platform
shift
is
happening
in
November
along
Scott
and
Albert.
F
The
buses
will
use
the
new
bus
only
lanes
which
have
been
have
been
under
construction
for
a
few
months
under
design
for
a
couple
of
years.
There's
been
helpful
ideas
from
the
community,
many
which
went
into
the
design
of
the
bus
fall
or
bus
lanes,
but
also
we
incorporated
some
suggestions
from
the
community
into
our
service
plan
and
two
of
the
ideas
that
are
helping
to
reduce
the
number
of
buses
operating
in
that
part
of
Albert
and
Scott
are
that
Express
Express
trips?
F
Fourteen
percent
will
have
a
longer
travel
time
of
about
three
minutes,
and
these
are
mostly
customers,
traveling
to
or
from
the
west
and
southwest
parts
of
the
city
and
you'll.
Remember
that
that
changes
in
June
affected
primarily
the
fractional
customers
that
come
to
and
from
the
east,
the
changes
in
December
about
the
same
fraction.
The
customers
are
traveling
to
or
from
the
south,
and
this
is
the
first
change
that
has
the
similar
magnitude
of
change
affecting
the
customers
traveling
to
and
from
the
West.
F
F
F
So
here's
a
summary
of
all
the
East
End
peak
routes
that
will
end
at
Bay
in
the
morning.
It's
in
the
afternoon
they'll
still
start
at
lebreton,
just
as
they
do
now
the
West
End
routes
that
will
be
operating
by
Scott
and
Albert,
rather
than
via
the
transit
way.
As
I
said
earlier,
the
morning
trips
will
end
at
Mackenzie
King
station
and
the
afternoon
trips
will
start
just
as
they
do
now
at
Campus
Station.
F
But
we
recommend
the
customers
who
are
transferring
to
us
do
so
at
Mackenzie
King,
where
there's
more
room
and
the
transit
way
routes
that
continue
to
operate
east-west
through
downtown
will
be
running
on
Scott
and
Albert,
as
I
said,
between
Merton
and
Empress,
and
here's
a
summary
of
the
travel
time
changes
two
to
three
minutes
for
people.
Traveling
to
and
from
the
West,
so
there's
been
extensive
consultation
with
stakeholders
in
this
area.
Two
of
the
changes
have
come
from
that
discussion.
F
F
So,
in
summary,
these
changes
take
place
on
Sunday,
December
20th.
Just
before
Christmas
and
Sunday
January
17th
in
mid-january,
we
will
be
advising
customers
starting
now,
but
the
big
information
push
comes
in
mid-november
and
the
key
messages
that
we're
giving
to
our
customers.
These
changes
are
coming.
They
may
affect
your
travel
and
you
can
get
more
information
at
OSI
transport
calm
as
we
did
in
June.
F
Where
we'll
be
we'll
be
making
onboard
audio
announcements
speaking
to
people
through
our
customer
contact
center
through
our
websites
through
employers
and
other
major
destinations,
email
systems
and
we'll
be
doing
some
radio
ads
and
some
local
and
regional
newspaper
ads.
And
this
diagram
shows
how
we
start
now
with
the
the
basic
information,
the
basic
awareness,
but
by
mid
November,
carrying
through
into
late
January,
we'll
be
providing
that
information
to
customers
in
all
of
those
ways.
F
One
of
the
other
things
that
people
should
be
interested
to
know
about
is
that
for
most
special
events,
transit
service
remains
the
same
that
we'll
be
operating
on
slightly
different
routes,
where
the
transit
way
has
closed
service
to
and
from
Lansdowne
Canadian,
Tire,
Center
and
and
the
other
events
downtown
very
minor
changes.
There
will
be
some
changes
next
year,
blues
fest
as
we'll
have
to
arrange
a
more
convenient
place
to
pick
up
customers
after
the
event,
because
the
new
lebreton
station
is
a
longer
walk
distance
away
from
their
site.
F
Our
staff
are
continuing
to
meet
regularly
with
all
the
agencies
responsible
for
incident
management
and
response
to
delays.
That's
us
Public
Works,
both
in
traffic
management
and
trends,
traffic
operations,
are
colleagues
of
the
rail
implementation
office
and
our
colleagues
also
at
Auto,
Police
Service,
the
OPP
and
the
MTO,
and
that
incident
response
has
been
working
very
very
well
in
the
first
few
months
since
the
June
service
changes
began
and
buses
started
operating
in
such
number
on
the
provincial
highway
and
I
will
turn
it
back
to
John.
For
a
few
comments,
Thank.
E
You
Pat
mr.
chair
members,
the
Commission,
the
last
few
slides,
are
just
reminders
that
everything
that
we've
planned
assumes
average
conditions
we
will
have
instance
will
have
accidents
will
have
snow,
storms
will
have
traffic
jams
and
so
forth.
But
as
Pat
mentioned,
we've
got
the
integrated
response
team
that
can
make
adjustments
on
that,
but
the
additional
travel
times
that
we've
we've
shown
you
are
with
average
and
normal
conditions.
So
just
a
reminder
on
that
and
we're
happy
to
take
any
questions
now.
G
You,
my
first
question
is
around
slide
number
twelve
from
mister
scriptures
presentation,
where
you
say
same
as
25
same
as
route
91
for
west
bound
service,
Custer
and
a
man
will
spread
evenly.
What
what
does
that
mean?
Are
there
more
buses,
bus
buses,
more
passionate,
West
passengers,
I'm,
not
sure
what
that
phrase
means
we've.
F
Seen
since,
since
the
changes
went
in
in
June,
that
many
customers
from
the
east
end
up
referring
route
91
to
route
95
because
it
provides
a
faster
trip
downtown
and
in
some
cases,
that's
resulted
in
the
trips
under
91
being
busier
than
the
trips
on
route
95,
because
route
95
will
get
people
downtown
just
as
quickly
as
route.
91.
F
G
All
right,
thanks
for
that
clarification.
Now
the
next
question
I'm
just
going
to
pull
up
here's
on
route
or
slide
number
20,
and
it's
specific
to
the
176,
so
you're
saying
176
will
stop
at
Mackenzie,
Cambridge
and
then
I.
Think
in
your
in
your
presentation,
you
would
indicate
it
that
there
will
be
an
additional
transfer
point
for
people
on
the
176.
Is
that
it
six
designated
readers
that
to
a
variety
of
routes
or
how
is
that
going
to
work
most.
F
Trips
in
route
176
from
the
south
end
at
Toni's
pasture
station,
but
during
the
morning
rush
hour,
some
of
those
trips
are
extended
through
to
lebreton
or
through
to
downtown
the
trips
that
go
to
downtown,
currently
go
to
her
twin
station,
where
people
can
transfer
to
any
route
that
they
like,
where
they
can
walk
to
their
destinations.
Downtown
those
trips
on
route,
176
that
go
through
to
downtown
will
end
at
Mackenzie
King.
F
G
F
There's
about
40
different
bus
routes
that
go
down
that
Street
and
people
from
route
176
like
every
one
of
the
other
forty
leads
often
transfer
between
them.
They'll
still
have
the
ability
to
transfer
to
all
those
routes.
There's
a
little
depends
where
they're
going.
If
they're
going
to
hurt
my
station,
there's
many
many
routes
to
transfer
if
they're
going
to
other
specific
locations
in
the
and
the
south
end
or
in
the
East
End
and
they'll
transfer
to
the
route
that
gets
them
straight
there.
But
every
every
route
going
east
stops
at
Mackenzie
King
Bridge.
G
G
You've
given
us,
you
know
additional
two
or
three
minutes
or
what-have-you
for
the
trips,
and
you
talk
about
average
time
is.
Is
that
average
year-round
time
or
is
that
average
springtime
I
guess
what
I'm
trying
to
get
at
is
we
all
know
in
this?
In
the
winter
things
tend
to
slow
down
and
not
just
because
of
a
snowstorm,
but
just
because
I
think
everybody
understands
the
snowstorm
piece
but
I'm
trying
to
get
to
that
number.
You
gave
us
of
two
to
three
or
three
to
four
minutes.
G
E
It's
year-round
average
but
I.
Think
what's
important
to
your
question
is
what
are
the
mitigation
measures
we
have
in
place
to
minimize
things
that
can
impact
that
so
we're
working
with
mr.
Riley's
team
unenhanced,
know
removal
and
salting
operation
for
herdmen
and
other
key
points,
because
you
know
the
transit
way
is
the
second
highest
service
level
road
in
the
system
after
174,
so
we're
working
with
him
on
how
to
enhance
the
service
on
that.
But
it's
not
just
that.
E
That
heard
meant
it's
also
other
locations,
Scott,
Street
and
so
forth,
and
then
also
a
transit
priority
signal
cueing
enhancements
across
the
board
on
there.
We've
mapped
out
every
single
signal,
so
it's
averaged
around
the
year,
but
then
there's
a
bunch
of
mitigation
things
that
if
things
start
to
change,
temperature-wise
or
or
sens
night
or
all
those
things
we've
got
a
wide
range
of
scenarios
mapped
out
on
that.
E
The
key
thing
that
will
throw
us
a
lot
for
a
loop
as
if
there's
a
major
accident
or
major
shutdown
of
a
major
roadway,
that's
part
of
the
system,
then
we've
we've
got
to
look
at
alternatives.
Having
said
that,
the
OPP
has
been
very
cooperative,
they've
worked
with
us
and
with
o-p-s
to
go
to
enhanced
response.
If
there's
an
incident
on
any
of
those
bus
lanes
are
non
bus
lanes,
so
they
they're
very,
very
quick
to
respond
and
also
to
move
the
cars
off
the
roadway
so
that
we
can
get
our
lanes
back.
Okay,.
G
E
So
mr.
charter
and
mr.
Riley's
team
have
alternate
routes,
though
they
would
disperse
those
bus
routes
all
over
through
the
through
the
system
and
and
then
also
make
sure
that
o
PS
or
lovers
responding
to
that
incident
can
give
us
a
lane
in
each
direction.
Certainly
in
the
peak
direction
to
get
traffic
through.
Okay,.
H
Thank
you.
Just
a
few
questions
clearer.
The
people
coming
from
the
West
are
that
used
go
to
the
Pacific
hospital
campus,
these
ones
I
hear
from
sometime.
They
found
it
a
bit
difficult
with
the
change
that
happened
last
year
now
you're
planning
in
December
I
guess
it
is
to
cut
off
all
the
Express
routes
from
the
West
End
at
Mackenzie
King.
So
anybody
going
past
that,
whether
it's
to
the
University
of
Ottawa
or
to
the
campus
have
to
transfer
by
the
106
that
goes
to
campus.
The
hospitals
doesn't
start
from
Mackenzie
King,
sir.
H
H
Complaining
about
the
transfer
times
and
some
problems
I
think
some
of
those
when
worked
out
I
think
there's
going
to
have
to
be
some
watching
of
that.
There
are
a
fair
number
people.
Have
two
nurses
particularly
have
to
get
there
for
particular
time,
so
they
go
on
the
early
buses,
which
means
they're,
they're
kind
of
tight
already,
because
the
first
express
buses
don't
leave
till
around
6:00,
and
that
gives
them
an
hour
to
get
there
for
seven
but
they're
having
making
it
so.
E
Mr.
chair,
well,
we
do
the
first
number
of
weeks
as
we
watch
every
single
route
through
our
GPS
system
and
whether
they're
running
on
time
and
also
the
transfer
points,
and
we
have
staff
there
monitoring.
So
like
the
major
teachers
in
June,
we
tracked
every
single
route
through
those
detours
and
we
debrief
every
single
day
on
what
is
happening
am
at
p.m.
peak,
and
so,
if
there's
any
of
those
transfers
that
are
looking
tight
and
so
far,
what
we'll
make
some
adjustments?
Okay.
H
F
Mr.
chair,
most
of
those
buses,
don't
turn
around
most
of
the
buses
that
end
of
the
bridge
continue
out.
That
currently
ended.
Herdmen
continued
out
to
the
East
End
to
do
their
next
trip
in
so
a
trip
that
comes
from,
for
instance,
bar
Haven
and
ends
at
herdmen
would
usually
go
out
to
green
borough
or
go
out
to
our
lanes
to
do
its
next
trip
back
for
those
buses
that
do
need
to
turn
around,
which
is
a
very
small
number.
They'll
use
the
the
roads
around
Nicholas
Street
and
the
ramps
to
the
highway,
which.
H
H
The
93
now
starts
at
the
Breton
and
I
know
what
was
happening
on
that
the
ones
the
extra
ones
that
come
from
downtown.
If
somebody
had
come
from
Orleans
that
works
in
Kanata,
that's
the
ones
chancer
and
it's
quite
convenient
for
them.
But
now
they're
going
to
have
to
could
you
start
the
93
s
at
bay,
I
mean
cuz
they're,
usually
the
ones
coming
from
the
east
that
are
changing
to
a
93
to
go
out
west.
F
Mr.
chair,
with
the
limited
capacity,
the
downtown
streets
and
then
the
even
more
limited
capacity
downtown
streets
during
Confederation
line,
construction,
I'm
afraid
that
it's
not
possible
for
us
to
run
more,
not
to
have
more
buses
start
in
downtown.
We
have
two:
we
are
finishing
some
buses
in
downtown,
but
whenever
we're
starting
buses
they're
starting
out
on
the
edges
of
town
at
places
like
campus,
even.
H
Though
they
were
actually
the
same
bus
I
mean
you
right
now.
I've
been
told
that
almost
all
of
those
93's
are
expressed
buses
that
come
from
Orleans
that
changed
to
a
93
air
at
lebreton,
because
otherwise
people
are
going
to
have
to
get
to
bay
transfer
to
another
bus
to
get
to
lebreton
and
then
transfer
other
there
are
they
further
on
to
a
93
to
get
out
to
canal
and
that's
going
to
slow
people.
If
every
transfer
makes
an
issue-
and
they
don't
run
that
frequently.
F
Mr.
chair
will
certainly
look
at
the
exact
chedrools
for
the
trips
that
are
that
are
ending
at
bay
and
continuing
on
as
route
93
to
make
sure
that
we're
providing
the
best
service
we
can
for
those
specific
trips.
But
I
don't
have
the
details
here
of
how
the
new
schedules
are
prepared
and
which
trips
are
linked
to
which
trips?
If.
H
E
H
H
That
would
take
off
three
or
four
minutes
of
travel
time
coming
in
which
then
would
make
people
unhappy
about
the
extra
time
as
they're
getting
in
is
there
I
have
asked
this
before
about
a
vase
for
saying
it
would
be
finished
till
2017,
but
if
they
could
be
finished,
at
least
at
the
end
of
2016,
so
that
winter
we
start
having
that
service.
I
think
it
would
improve
people's.
E
H
The
other
one
is
on
all
the
communications.
You've
had
a
lot
with
community
sources,
things
in
the
East
NP.
There
has
been
absolutely
nothing
done
in
the
Far
West
for
what
the
impact
is
on
the
expressed
roots.
I,
don't
know
if
a
lot
of
people
who
realize
their
expressed
roots
are
going
to
stop
at
the
Kenzie
King
bridge
right
now.
H
So
when
you're
doing
all
of
the
informations
things
just
standing
up,
which
are
great
I,
think,
but
there
wasn't
in
their
information
to
councillors,
to
provide
to
our
community
and
quite
happy
to
do
it
that
way,
so
they
do
need
to
I
guess
if
they
take
if
they
actually
take
the
takeoffs
off
the
buses.
They'll
find
that
out,
but
that's
usually
pretty
close
to
the
change
time
and
I'd
like
to
start
working
on
now
to
get
them
prepared
so
that
there
they
don't
get
a
surprise
at
the
end.
E
Absolutely
it
started
last
week
with
you
all
received
your
first
information
kit,
but
I
can
assure
you
cancer
you're,
getting
a
lot
more
in
just
two
reminder
that
the
the
messages
that
we
had
in
June
we
are
gonna,
do
the
same
thing
on
the
buses
and
their
route
specific.
So
if
you're
on
a
particular
route,
you
will
hear
a
message
that
this
route
will
change
on.
December
20th,
go
to
OC
Transcom
or
visit
us
and
so
forth,
but
you
as
a
councillor
will
get
lots
of
information
that
you
can
just.
H
Say
no
one's
waiting,
the
bus
of
the
most
useful.
Frankly,
it's
nice
that
you
now
can
do
messages
there
and
I
think
they
appreciate
the
detail
that
you're
giving
out
and
all
this
is
very
difficult
kind
of
a
change.
I
can
see
that
and
and
it's
a
long-term
one
and
I
do
appreciate
the
work
you're
doing
on
it
and
the
adjustments
you
made
in
June
shows
you
how
much
you
are
able
to
fix
things
if
I
could
improve
things.
The
best
saying
it
as
it
goes
wrong.
Thank
You.
Mr.
chair,
thank.
C
B
Thanks
mr.
chairman,
as
I,
know,
you're
aware,
the
residents
in
Hintonburg
Mechanicsville,
Wellington
village
has
some
particular
concerns
around
the
residential
nature
of
Scott
Street
for
the
detour
I'll
leave
most
of
those
to
the
the
working
group
that
we've
established.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
upcoming
participation
and
there.
There
are
some
interesting
questions:
tricky
challenges,
for
example
at
Merton
Street,
which
is
a
one-way
heading
north.
B
It's
where
you're
going
to
be
cutting
the
buses
out
of
the
transit
way
in
the
first
phase,
it'll
be
interesting
to
see
how
eastbound
or
right
turning
traffic
from
Merton
gets
across
the
bus
lane,
even
as
buses
are
also
coming
East
trying
to
get
to
the
inside
lane,
there's
going
to
be
an
interesting
process
over
there.
It
still
require
a
bit
of
an
accommodation
on
the
part
of
both
drivers
and
of
your
operators.
B
I'm
wondering
how
are
you
going
to
communicate
with
your
drivers
about
the
need
for
some
accommodation
for
some
of
those
residents
who
are
going
to
need
to
cut
across
the
cut
across
the
the
buses
only
Lane
in
order
to
get
into
their
driveways
in
order
to
get
into
their
garages?
As
people
are
trying
to
turn
eastbound
coming
out
of
those
northbound
streets,
how
are
they
going
to
get
across
those
bus
lanes?
What
kind
of
sensitivity
training
can
you
do
for
your
drivers
to
ensure
that
they're
giving
our
residents
as
much
quarter
as
possible
so.
E
What
we
do
councillor
is
we,
like
our
customers,
we
have
a
information
process
for
Union
and
our
operators
and
our
operators
are
given
not
just
only
maps
but
they're,
also
given
visuals,
and
if
we
get
that
opened
early,
we
actually
take
them
on
driving
tours
and
all
that
sensitivity
that
you're
talking
about
the
watch
items
that
changes
and
so
forth,
they've
done
it.
We
did
that
and
the
East
End
when
those
detours,
we
were
given
them
a
couple
days
earlier.
E
We
actually
had
all
their
operators
on
our
buses
and
we
were
going
through
the
detours
physically,
so
they
could
see
it
firsthand
without
a
customer
load
that
we
also
did
very
innovative
things.
We
got
a
GoPro
put
it
on
a
vehicle
drove
the
detours
and
blend,
and
we
put
it
in
our
drivers
lounge.
They
see
that
it's
continuously
playing
and
so
forth.
B
E
We'll
give
you
what
you
need,
but
the
other
thing
you
can
do
is
you
can
speak
to
sue
Jones,
so
she
chairs
the
auto
on
the
move
project,
which
is
the
broader
citywide
communication
on
all
traffic
changes,
and
so,
if
you
want
to
do
a
broader
push
out
of
information,
certainly
a
sue
and
her
team
do
a
phenomenal
job
of
communicating
the
the
wide-reaching
changes,
because
you
want
to
get
to
everyone.
You
want
to
get
the
cyclists
pedestrians,
motorists
and
and
transit
users.
Great
and
I'll.
B
I
Thank
You
chair,
thank
you
for
the
briefing
just
a
couple
of
I
think
pretty
short
questions.
The
first
is,
there
was
no
mention
of
Tremblay
slash
train
station
is
that
is
the
service
there
I,
don't
remember
the
sub
number
unaffected
in
the
new
plan.
There's
no
change
to
the
current
service.
Thanks
just
a
question
that
I
think
following
up
a
little
bit
on
councilor
Wilkinson's
question
the
East
found
at
one
point
on
slide:
six.
You
talked
about
the
one-on-one
service
from.
Are
they
all
going
all
the
way
west
continuing
to
Bayshore
and
then
later
on?
I
F
Buses
that
will
stop
at
bay
will
be
the
Express
route,
so
the
routes
that
are
in
the
twenty
thirty
and
forty
number
series
sorry
I
couldn't
hear
you
then,
once
my
mic,
there
we
go
the
ones
that
are
numbered
in
the
twenty
thirty
and
forty
number
series.
Well
any
Bay.
The
rapid
transit
routes
like
those
in
the
80s
and
90s
continue
right
through
door
unaffected.
I
F
Chair,
yes,
the
the
current
service
on
the
101
half
the
trip
started
in
Orleans
and
the
other
half
of
the
trip
start
at
Samara,
the
half
that
will
start
the
half
that
started.
Our
lanes
will
be
relabeled
as
103
and
we'll
bypass
herdmen
station
on
the
westbound
trip.
So
we'll
bypass
heard
minutes
allen
on
both
other
eastbound
trips
in
the
afternoon
and.
F
F
C
C
J
You
very
much
mr.
chair,
my
colleague,
Commissioner
crew
and
I
would
like
to
call
for
an
inquiry
on
the
subject
of
low
income.
Transit
access,
and,
specifically
all
of
the
the
councillors
around
this
table
will
know
that
there
are
some
citizens
in
Ottawa
that
spend
the
majority
of
their
income
on
food
and
shelter,
so
they
lived
below
