Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. April 9th, 2026

The City of Ottawa is hoping that the O-Train will be back to full strength by the end of May. However, newer problems and additional damage have threatened the opening of the Eastern Extension. The new GM of OC Transpo is against a full shutdown of the service. Do we need one, and can we afford one? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today's Question of the Day. Meantime, a new motion is calling on City Hall to install secure delivery lockers, an idea to deter porch pirates. We open that can of worms in Hour 3. Plus, bus-only lanes are officially coming to The Glebe! However, if that idea was on your wish list for 2026, you'll have to wait another year.
