Blair station

Where do you see the biggest need right now?

Around Blair Station.

So consistently, we need to ensure that our community feels safe when they're accessing transit and traveling through the area.

And around Blair Station, there's a couple of different issues.

There are encampments, we'll call it, that will pop up.

There's also... a lack of lighting and there's also people, and I understand that are very stressed because the bus is late and they're running across bus lanes and they're trying to catch that bus because they might be waiting 45 minutes.

So a few months ago, I think it was a month or two ago, I had complained essentially to the Ottawa citizen about the E1 bus route that's in the East End right now.

To give people context, what is the E1? The E1 bus route is a supplementary express route that runs between downtown and Blair Station in the East End.

It's nonstop between downtown and Blair, but it runs over top of the LRT line.

It is redundant to the LRT.
