I constantly get these error messages:
To address the technology issue, the City of Ottawa is hosting an LRT Technology Forum on June 20, 2009 that will bring together transit experts, technology providers and key stakeholders to identify the best transit technology options for the City’s new LRT system.More info here: http://ottawa.ca/residents/public_consu
Residents are invited to take part in the Forum on Saturday, June 20. Presentations by staff and technology providers will be followed by small group discussions. There will also be an opportunity to visit displays and engage with other participants and technology providers.
OTTAWA — Ottawa's transit buses should have hand-sanitizer dispensers on board to help stop the spread of colds and flu, says Alex Cullen.Granted I don't really pay much attention to names in the news when it comes to OC Transpo, but isn't it Cullen who keeps proposing stupid, money-wasting ideas? Like come on.
The councillor for Bay ward and declared 2010 mayoral candidate says it's in the interest of public health to have the cleansers, which are usually rubbing-alcohol based, available to OC Transpo passengers.
"People get on, they touch the bar or the handrail, they touch their noses, they can get sick," Cullen said.
He says that at a city council transit committee meeting on June 17, he hopes his fellow councillors will agree to ask city staff to look into the idea in more detail.
On Tuesday, he'll hold a news conference to promote the idea with U of O nursing student Jenn St. Jean, who raised the idea in a letter to the Citizen in February.
A Facebook group in support of the proposal has attracted 91 members.
