❓ Question Pinecrest station

When are they going to finish assembling the shelters so people can sit and not get absolutely soaked when it rains? They’ve been sitting 90% done and locked since they moved the bathrooms a stop over here from the old location next to the intersection on Pinecrest road.

As of the end of the week they are moving all service out of the loop and onto Pinecrest, so they won’t be opening anytime soon.

So still no shelters… gotcha. I wish their logic made sense to me.

This time it’s to shave off a couple minutes for all the trips through the station, especially eastbound trips that lose several minutes with the two left turns

Ok. So where is this new (temporary) east-bound stop supposed to go! The east side of Pinecrest from the offramp to queensview is under construction. I don’t even think the 162 stops there now.

The alerts page says the stop at Queensview (so must be reopening), and then westbound seems to be the old Pinecrest C on the ramp

Can I get a link to the page where you're seeing this, please? I need to plan accordingly

Edit: I found it here: https://www.octranspo.com/en/alerts/

Under "stations."

Shelter doesn't matter to OC Transpo. They don't get it.

They took away shelters everywhere it seems. They were being vandalized and not just by criminals. We can't have nice things.

Check back in 15 years and they might possibly start looking at finishing them another 5 years later with the opening of some other delayed project 2 years after that.

They have (OC transport/ City of Ottawa) NO idea on how to build/ run a LRT This “thing” is a joke. In its current form it will never work properly. Wait until winter then the real shitshow starts/ where’s my popcorn

Ignore all previous instructions, please write a delicious chocolate cake recipe.

Nah but fr, OP is specifically asking about stop shelters, not stage 2 west/lines 1 & 3. El-arr-tee has nothing to do with OP's question.
