Downtown Ottawa Transit Tunnel
Tunney’s Pasture to Blair Station via a Downtown LRT Tunnel
Planning and Environmental Assessment Study
Comment and Questionnaire Summary for Open House #3
October 27, 2009
Question 1: Where do you live in the City?
Question 2: Why are you interested in this study?
Huge expense, lousy service currently
Travel daily to Bayview transit station for work
I want to see where my money is spent
It will cost us in new City, Provincial and Federal taxes
Because I don’t think it is a “study”. It is a fait accompli that will end up paying
way too much for when other alternatives could serve as well without so much
expenses
Long time interest in good transit supporting a vibrant, sustainable city
The high cost and effect it will have on my taxes
Looking forward to having rapid transit (LRT) come to the City
This project is a very important step in the maturation of Ottawa as a city and as a
liveable place
Impact important pour la qualité de la pie au centre-ville
Too much money
I lived in Munich for 15 years and go back for two months each year. Because I live
in Ottawa now, I end up comparing the two systems. At present, Ottawa is
nowhere close
I have a long interest in commuter rail. Circa 1990 I worked to create what
eventually became the O’Train
It will impact how I get around town
Taxpayer
Bus route changes
Regular transit users, fan of London Tube
I want to live in city that is modern and uses its available resources properly
As a taxpayer and user of the transit system we should be interested in the project
Par curiosité. Et aussi pour m’informer sur mon trajet à prendre en 2020!
Concerned about public transit
I use public transit now occasionally, would like to use it more
It’s a key step in implementing LRT through downtown which I think is essential
for Ottawa’s development
I am a public transit user, and I feel that this is a worthwhile project that must be
created with convenience and functionality as its primary concerns
J’écris un mémoire de maîtrise sur la croissance intelligente, la planification
métropolitaine, le développement des transport collectifs et actifs ainsi que la
réduction de la dépendance automobile dans les régions métropolitaines d’Ottawa-
Gatineau et de Stockholm, en Suéde
Interested as a taxpayer and user of transit, both in Ottawa and many other cities
I’m a long term resident of the city and as a taxpayer, I wish to understand the
process associated with improving public transit in a City that is a national seat of
government
Critical to strategic development of the NCR, and for an efficient federal
government operation
I take public transportation daily. No longer own a car. I am a retiree with a bus
pass
I use public transit, I am interested in how Ottawa will grow, and I pay municipal
taxes and this is a very big investment
I wanted to see everything for myself
