The City advises residents impacts to traffic and services will continue on Saturday, February 19 and into the weekend. With the ongoing police operations in response to the demonstrations, residents are advised to avoid all unnecessary travel in the downtown area. Law enforcement has established a secure area, managed by police checkpoints, from Bronson Avenue to the Canal and from the Queensway to Parliament Hill

Impacts on OC Transpo

Transit services are restricted downtown due to ongoing police activity. Until further notice, O-Train Line 1 will continue to operate from Tunney’s Pasture to Pimisi Station in the west, and from Blair to Hurdman Station in the east.

O-Train stations in the downtown core will be closed, and there will be no rail service between Pimisi and Hurdman stations. OC Transpo staff will be present at Hurdman, Pimisi and Tunney’s Pasture stations to assist customers with bus transfers.

All bus routes with service downtown are expected to remain on detour until service can be reliably returned to downtown streets. OC Transpo continues to monitor and adjust transit service as the situation evolves.

Beginning this Sunday, February 20, 15 bus routes serving downtown, as well as Para Transpo trips to and from Rideau-Vanier and Somerset wards, will be no-charge. More information on downtown detours and no-charge bus and Para Transpo service are available at octranspo.com.

Stay up to date on the latest transit information by visiting octranspo.com/alerts, calling 613-560-5000 or following OC Transpo’s Twitter accounts. Para Transpo customers can call OC Transpo and a staff member will help book a trip.

Traffic impacts remain fluid – stay informed

The traffic impacts remain fluid and could involve other roadways in other parts of the city. Expect traffic delays in and around the secure area.

Residents can continue to check our online traffic map and the City of Ottawa’s traffic Twitter account for up-to-date information on traffic delays and disruptions due to the demonstrations.

Here is latest information on downtown City services and facilities – including closures, delays, and resumptions:

Ottawa Public Library branches

The Ottawa Public Library’s Main and Rideau branches will remain closed.

City Hall

Ottawa City Hall and its amenities will remain closed for public access.

These amenities include:

  • Rink of Dreams
  • Underground municipal parking lot

Ottawa Public Health

The following Ottawa Public Health services and clinics will be closed:

  • The Ottawa Public Health Harm Reduction van will be unable to provide services in the impacted areas. Staff will continue to coordinate with clients to find an alternate meeting location or provide a referral to an available community partner location.
  • The Ottawa Dental Clinic on 40 Cobourg Street
  • Vaccination clinic at the University of Ottawa Minto Sports Complex.

Visit Ottawa Public Health's Vaccine Page for more vaccination clinic information.

Snow clearing

With the demonstration situation remaining very fluid, the City has contingencies in place for any accumulating snow. The City intends to keep focus on pedestrian and emergency access routes through the area, clearing and treating sidewalks and facilitating the safe movement of emergency vehicles, where possible. Due to the demonstration, however, the City has encountered operational constraints which have made accessing the areas in close proximity to the Parliamentary precinct difficult.

We do not anticipate impacts to snow clearing operations in other parts of the city due to the demonstration.

Waste and recycling collection

At this time, the City is not anticipating an impact to residential waste collection as a result of the demonstration. Residents can stay informed of curbside collection delays by signing up to receive notifications through the Ottawa Collection Calendar app; download the mobile app or register for email updates by entering your address and clicking on “Get a reminder!”.

Street-side receptacles and litter are being addressed where access permits.

City services are scheduled to be closed or reduced on Monday, February 21 for the designated Family Day holiday.
