With Lansdowne 2.0 proceeding in Ottawa, the time for the Bank Street O-Train subway - connecting Billings Bridge Shopping Centre to Terrasse de la Chaudière in Gatineau - is now. This is especially true given the NHL Senators' proposed downtown arena.
We’re moving Ottawa forward! Lansdowne 2.0 is a smart, responsible plan that invests in one of the city’s biggest attractions, while protecting taxpayers and reducing risk. This project will give us a better, more accessible Lansdowne, upgraded infrastructure, vibrant public

@_MarkSutcliffe We need a subway under Bank street from Wellington to South Keys. Lansdowne 2.0 would flourish.

We agree
Lansdowne is in a fantastic location for sports and events. If there is good transit. How have we accepted the status quo on Bank Street for decades? It's Ottawa's de facto main street, it requires a proper transit solution. Subway, streetcars, bus lanes... Anything.

@ABetterOttawa Bank street is a prime place for a streetcar. You could run it all the way to south keys for another LRT connection. No parking on Bank would free up a lot of space.

@BankStOtrain @Arturmaks @_MarkSutcliffe Unlike the now barely used commuter LRT, I believe a line down Bank Street would be well used and take a lot of private vehicles out of the core.

@DerrickSimpson_ Thoughts on an underground Bank street LRT route instead?

@auth_secure @duncrae @siobhanwanders The brutal irony here is we could really use a bank street LRT that goes from the core to billings would make Landsdown a more accessible site and better suited to hosting events and farmers market accessibility. @BankStOtrain

@Boosty1919 @ABetterOttawa @BankStOtrain @_MarkSutcliffe Connect Bank Street O-Train to Heron/Baseline and extend that to Bayshore or Woodroofe. Could also just replace route 6 in it's entirety, Line 5 as Carling LRT and Line 6 as Bank Street LRT.

@_MarkSutcliffe #ottawa needs a bold vision for transit. Bank Street is packed daily and only growing. A subsurface LRT along Bank would ease congestion, connect communities, and future-proof the city. Let’s stop patching and start planning for real. #OttLRT #BankStreet

@Ed52626180 @ClintonDesveaux @unpubmedia Bc it’s not being built in the right place for the right reasons. The North-South LRT corridor was basically canceled to appease developers along East-West corridor who owned land. Like many of Jim Watson’s donors. Building a Bank street subway would alleviate many problems…

I don't know that there's actually much buzz around a Bank Street O-Train but the reasons listed here as to why one would be smart are right
@BankStOtrain @grok The Bank Street O-Train Subway concept is popular because it tackles Ottawa’s biggest headaches: traffic gridlock, growing urban density, and the need for a fast, weather-proof way to get people across the city, especially as the population surges past 1.6 million. People love

It’s time for the Ottawa City Council to begin planning the Bank Street O-Train Subway. We have the @Senators moving downtown plus the action of @atletiOttawa & @REDBLACKS at the new Lansdowne

No, it was not about public rail transit for Bank Street - it was a plan to develop more car traffic
@OccTranspo @BankStOtrain did you go?
