感觉Kanata的两个Councilor都没什么本事. 跟Barrhaven比, 人家新设施说建就建了, 这边还得往小了改. 那边的Park-and-Ride就没过马路的危险.

交通省里也管吧, 这次选MPP应该提一提.

那地方确实危险。很多赶公交车的人都不看红绿灯就过马路，也不走斑马线。
我觉着该修个天桥。大家找city councilor 提提意见去？是kanata south吧？

市里的路好像是市政府管。

我住KANATA NORTH， 准备试着找老太太议员说说去，不知该不该她管。

EAGLESON 是条大路，等灯的话时间很长，有的人着急赶公车就冒险了。我每次过那的时候，几乎都能看到有行人乱穿马路。想不到悲剧真发生了。

but I remember provincial funds were granted to extend Terry Fox or Hazedean road.

we have to push them to do something about it. It's not pedestrians' fault. The system failed. It was talked before to build soccer fields aside from the park-and-ride. why not move the parking lot on the other side of road there?

The buses may also be responsible in part...

Bus drivers usually DON'T wait for passengers even their buses are empty. This is especially true at Eagleson Station. Sometimes they just drive away when passengers are running their lives to catch them. After certain hour the frequency of bus service is low. This is why people in Kanata have to run against the red light to catch the bus or they will have to watch the bus goes within arm's length. I have seen many bus drivers kept driving the bus away when they noticed some passengers were trying to catch the bus. This kind of attitude towards passengers has created lots of dangerous situations.

"All drive no play makes bus driver a dull boy..."

sent email to both Mrs. Wilkinson and Mr. Hubley.

天，太让人难受了！ 愿家长节哀，孩子在天堂安息。
那个路口真的很危险，绿灯时间太短，经常过一半就红灯了。而且Eagleson上的车都开得飞快。
侃屯的乡亲们，给市议员写信吧。搭个过街天桥或者地下通道。

如果有谁知道葬礼的情况上来传递一下信息，我们能做的也只是给他们一些精神上的支持。

 

[uglyducking]

sent email to both Mrs. Wilkinson and Mr. Hubley.
let's see what are their response.

We should send more email to them. City should have something done to provide safety to pedestrians.
---------------------

On behalf of Councillor Hubley I would like to thank you for your email. There is a police investigation underway into the recent accident therefore the Councillor is unable comment on it. Be assured any recommendations coming out of it will be acted upon.



Best regards,



Nathalie Levasseur

Assistant to Councillor Allan Hubley

Kanata South, Ward 23

This is all due to the damn bureaucracy. The land east of Eagleson road belongs to the NCC and NCC refused to allow the city of Ottawa to build parking lots there.

An underground tunnel should be built to allow easier access for heavy pedestrian traffic there. Overpass bridge would be too dangerous/slippery during the winter, cannot accommodate people who ride bicycle there, plus people with injury/disability cannot use it.

but I remember provincial funds were granted to extend Terry Fox or Hazedean road.
