2011:
 On
July 21st, Mayor Jim Watson, the Honourable Bob Chiarelli,
MPP for Ottawa West-Nepean and Minister of Infrastructure
and Cyril Leeder, President of Senators Sports &
Entertainment, announced that a OC Transpo Park & Ride will
be established at Scotiabank Place. (In picture from left to
right).
After two years working on this
infrastructure, I’m thankful for this project to come to
fruition. I started speaking with Alain Mercier and Pat
Scrimgeour from OC Transpo at that time about operating a
Park & Ride from Scotiabank Place. This was due to my
concern about providing better service to the event fans and
also to reduce pressure on the Eagleson Park & Ride. The
other main reason was to reduce the cost of continuing to
build new Park & Ride facilities. In this case, the parking
lot already exists and will cut down costs exponentially.
This Park & Ride lot will benefit Stittsville, Carp
and other west end commuters and will initially be served by
Express routes 261 and 263 with eight morning peak trips and
eight afternoon peak trips.
I look forward to seeing
this new project in operation by the fall of 2011.
