Why doesn't Line 2 go to the Hard Rock Casino?

Sorry if this has been discussed already, but as somebody who uses the Line 2 O-Train fairly often, it always baffled me that the new Bowesville Station and it's park and ride are in the middle of nowhere while one of the very few large concert venues in Ottawa has is just 'slightly' further. There would be far better connectivity and utility to have Bowesville closer to where the Hard Rock Casino is so people could get to concerts and back without having to drive, while having what would look like only a small increase (about 2.5km) in distance for the Line 2 train to travel. Was a train station there ever considered?

Somebody is going to get killed by these traffic signs COMPLETELY blocking the bike path on the Bank Street bridge

There are THREE road traffic signs that are completely blocking the southbound grade seperated bike path on the Bank Street bridge that are basically impossible to avoid. This is a major commuting path for a lot of adults and kids, who are either going to have to try to hop into the busy higher grade sidewalk, which not everybody can do, or go down into fast moving traffic. How does the city justify these lazy, dangerous warning signs for cars, for the utterly terrifying inconvience to drivers that the street parking on Bank will be unusuable while they fix a sidewalk?

Obviously this is taken at night but anybody who lives in Old Ottawa South or the Glebe knows how popular the bridge is for walking and cycling.

Still no work on completing the O-Train Line 2 path?

Its June now and still no equipment to be seen to finish the last stretch of gravel path from Bowesville Station to Limebank. I really wonder if they ever will finish it at this point? I was really hoping to use this as a commuting path, does anybody have any info? I asked about this last year and nothing seems to have changed since then.

Does anybody know the ETA of Arepas: The Latin Food Place on Bank Street?

When I first saw an arepa restaurant was opening im the former Tamis Cafe, I got really excited! But I feel the place has been "coming soon" for like a year now. Does anybody have any info on when it will finally open?

You can have my beer

Earlier today, around 5:15pm, I was on the 7 to Carleton with an 8 pack of cold Sapporo Beer for Victoria Day but I got distracted and left it on the bus. Whoever out there who found it, it's all yours, you have my permission to have it and share it around if you want, I can't really come back for it after all. Happy Victoria Day!
