										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>UPDATE (October 15, 2026): </strong>Hydro Ottawa had originally scheduled this planned maintenance work for September 25. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the underground maintenance activity and planned power interruption has been rescheduled for<strong> October 18</strong>. The post below has been updated to reflect the new information.</p>
<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p>On October 18, 2026, Hydro Ottawa will be performing electrical infrastructure maintenance that will impact certain customers on Carp Road, Neil Avenue and Hazeldean Road. To complete this work safely, a planned power interruption is required.</p>
<p>You may notice an increased construction presence and traffic control measures to ensure the safety of residents and the crews. Construction activities will occur on the City of Ottawa Road Right-of—a legal right of access for Hydro Ottawa to install and maintain its electrical distribution system.</p>
<p>As mentioned above, a planned power outage will be required to proceed with this work. All impacted customers are contacted by phone, text or email—depending on the communication preferences indicated on their account—and informed by a written notice delivered to their door. Please note that the outage may be rescheduled in the event of circumstances beyond our control.</p>
<p><b data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">Impacted streets: Carp Road, Neil Avenue and Hazeldean Road<br />

<h2>Panne de courant planifiée &#8211; chemin Carp, avenue Neil et chemin Hazeldean</h2>

<p>Vous pourriez remarquer une présence accrue de chantier ainsi que des mesures de contrôle de la circulation pour assurer la sécurité des résidents et de nos équipes. Les activités de construction auront lieu dans l&#8217;emprise routière de la Ville d&#8217;Ottawa, un droit d&#8217;accès légal permettant à Hydro Ottawa d&#8217;installer et d&#8217;entretenir son réseau de distribution d&#8217;électricité.</p>
<p>Comme il est mentionné ci-dessus, une panne de courant planifiée sera nécessaire pour effectuer ces travaux.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Ottawa has now recorded 29 traffic-related fatalities in 2026, surpassing the 23 fatalities recorded during all of 2025.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Following a series of recent fatal collisions, the Ottawa Police Service (OPS), in an ongoing partnership with Safer Roads Ottawa, is renewing its urgent appeal to everyone who drives, walks, cycles or rides to make road safety a priority.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Each of these deaths represents a person whose life was cut short, families facing unimaginable loss and communities forever changed.</div>
<div></div>
<div>The increase in fatal collisions is a stark reminder that road safety is a shared responsibility and that a single moment of distraction, impatience or poor decision-making can have devastating consequences.</div>
<div></div>
<div>“Twenty-nine families have already experienced the heartbreak of losing a loved one on our roads this year. These tragedies are not inevitable. Many can be prevented when all road users make safe, responsible choices every time they travel through our community. We are asking everyone to slow down, stay focused and look out for one another before another life is lost.” – Sgt. Josh Callaghan, Road Safety Unit</div>
<div></div>
<div>While police and road safety partners continue to conduct enforcement, education and public awareness initiatives across Ottawa, enforcement alone cannot prevent every collision.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Drivers are reminded to:</div>
<ul>
<li>Slow down and obey posted speed limits.</li>
<li>Never drive while impaired by alcohol, drugs or medication.</li>
<li>Put distractions away and focus on the road.</li>
<li>Watch carefully for pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists.</li>
<li>Give vulnerable road users the space they need to travel safely.</li>
</ul>
<div></div>
<div>Pedestrians and cyclists can also help reduce risk by:</div>
<ul>
<li>Following traffic signals and crossing where it is safe to do so.</li>
<li>Staying alert and avoiding distractions.</li>
<li>Making themselves visible, particularly in low-light conditions.</li>
<li>Following the rules of the road and communicating their intentions clearly.</li>
</ul>
<div></div>
<div>Road safety depends on the choices each of us makes every day.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Twenty-nine deaths mean twenty-nine families forever changed. By slowing down, paying attention and respecting one another on our roads, every person can help prevent the next tragedy.</div>
<div></div>
<div>The Ottawa Police Service and Safer Roads Ottawa are asking everyone to take this message to heart and help ensure that every road user reaches their destination safely.</div>
<div></div>
<div>

<h2>29 vies perdues sur les routes d’Ottawa cette année: on incite tous les usagers de la route à agir immédiatement</h2>
<div>Jusqu’ici en 2026, Ottawa a connu vingt-neuf morts liées à la circulation, dépassant les vingt-trois telles morts enregistrées dans toute l’année 2025.</div>
<div></div>
<div>À la suite d’une récente série de collisions mortelles, le Service de police d’Ottawa (SPO), en collaboration continue avec le Programme d’amélioration de la sécurité des routes à Ottawa, renouvelle son appel pressant envers tous ceux et celles qui circulent en automobile, à pied, à vélo ou à moto, de faire de la sécurité routière une priorité.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Chacune de ces morts représente une personne dont la vie fut écourtée, des familles confrontées à une perte inimaginable, et des communautés changées à jamais.</div>
<div></div>
<div>La hausse du nombre de collisions mortelles nous rappelle brutalement que la sûreté routière notre responsabilité à tous, et qu’un seul moment d’inattention ou d’impatience, ou une mauvaise décision, peut avoir des conséquences dévastatrices.</div>
<div></div>
<div>« Vingt-neuf familles ont déjà vécu le chagrin de la perte d’un proche sur la route cette année. De telles tragédies ne sont pas inévitables. Plusieurs d’entre elles peuvent être prévenues si tous les usagers de la route font des choix sûrs et responsables lors de tous leurs déplacements à travers notre collectivité. Nous prions tout le monde de ralentir, de demeurer attentifs, et de veiller les uns sur les autres avant qu’une autre vie ne soit perdue », a déclaré le sergent Josh Callaghan de l’Unité de la sécurité routière.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Même si la police et ses partenaires de la sécurité routière continuent à mener des initiatives d’application, d’éducation et de sensibilisation publique partout à Ottawa, les mesures répressives, à elles seules, ne suffisent pas à prévenir chacune des collisions.</div>
<div></div>
<div>On rappelle aux conducteurs de:</div>
<ul>
<li>Ralentir et de respecter les limites de vitesse indiquées;</li>
<li>Ne jamais conduire avec les facultés affaiblies par l’alcool, la drogue, ou les médicaments;</li>
<li>Ranger les sources de distraction et se concentrer sur la route;</li>
<li>Surveiller attentivement les piétons, cyclistes et motocyclistes;.</li>
<li>Accorder aux usagers de la route vulnérables l’espace nécessaire pour circuler en sûreté.</li>
</ul>
<div></div>
<div>Piétons et cyclistes peuvent aussi réduire le risque en :</div>
<ul>
<li>Respectant les feux de circulation et en traversant où il est sûr de le faire;</li>
<li>Demeurant alerte et évitant les distractions;</li>
<li>S’assurant d’être bien visible, surtout lorsqu’il fait sombre;</li>
<li>Suivant les règles de route et en communiquant clairement leurs intentions.</li>
</ul>
<div></div>
<div>La sécurité routière repose sur les choix que font quotidiennement chacun d’entre nous.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Vingt-neuf morts signifient que vingt-neuf familles sont changées pour toujours. En ralentissant, en demeurant attentif, et en se respectant mutuellement sur nos routes, chacun peut contribuer à prévenir la prochaine tragédie.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Le Service de police d’Ottawa et le Programme d’amélioration de la sécurité des routes à Ottawa demandent à tous et chacun de prendre à cœur ce message pour faire en sorte que chaque usager de la route arrive sain et sauf à bon port.</div>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>The following is correspondence received from OC Transpo General Manager Rick Leary on Wednesday, October 14, providing an update on OC Transpo bus service key performance indicators.</em></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun">The purpose of this email is to share OC Transpo’s progress to improve service for customers through our Customer-First Action Plan. Data for September shows network-wide improvements across many key areas, including bus on-time performance, reliability of the bus fleet and customer feedback.</span></p>
<p class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun"><b>On-Time Performance: Best performance in 13 months</b></span></p>
<p class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun">A key part of the Customer-First Action Plan is adjusting bus schedules as 70 per cent of customers use the bus for their trips. As shared with the Transit Committee, this work began with 8 routes in the spring and summer and expanded to 22 routes by September for a total of 30 routes serving 50 per cent of transit customers. We are now seeing the results of this important work, when compared to last year:</span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun"><b>On-Time performance: </b></span><span class="x_normaltextrun">Overall, in September bus on-time performance improved to 77 per cent, an increase of 9 per cent and the highest performance in 13 months.</span></li>
<li class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun"><b>Missed trips: </b></span><span class="x_normaltextrun">dropped by approximately 57 per cent. In September, only 4 per cent of bus trips were missed. This is important progress in delivering the service OC Transpo advertises to customers.</span></li>
<li class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun"><b>Trips not delivered:</b></span><span class="x_normaltextrun"> dropped by approximately 69 per cent. In September only 0.8 per cent of bus trips were not delivered.</span></li>
</ul>
<p class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun">On-time performance improvements were also seen on Para Transpo service with on-time pickups increasing to 95 per cent in September, a 2 per cent improvement from the same time last year.</span></p>
<p class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun">Additional key performance indicators normally shared at Transit Committee <a href="https://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Transit-KPIs-October-2026.pdf">are attached here.</a></span></p>
<p class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun"><b>Customer Trips: Growing customer demand</b></span></p>
<p class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun">Preliminary data shows that customers took more trips on the O-Train network and Para Transpo compared to last September. While data is still being verified, initial results indicate that overall ridership increased approximately 3 per cent compared to the same time last year.</span></p>
<p class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun">Highlights include:</span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun"><b>O-Train network: </b></span><span class="x_normaltextrun">In September there were 2.73 million customer trips on the O-Train network, a 2 per cent increase compared to September 2025.</span></li>
<li class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun"><b>Para Transpo:</b></span><span class="x_normaltextrun"> ridership increased by 8 per cent since last year. This is an increase from approximately 75,800 to 81,600 trips.</span></li>
</ul>
<p class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun">Full ridership data will be shared with Mayor and Members of Council when available.</span></p>
<p class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun"><b>Continuing Express bus service improvements: Route 582</b></span></p>
<p class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun">Express bus service introduced in September has proven to be well used. Preliminary data shows that customers made 783 boardings per weekday on average, with demand varying by route. Staff are reviewing uptake and customer feedback to see where further refinements can be made.</span></p>
<p class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun">To respond to customer feedback for additional service, a new express bus trip is being added to supplement route 82 during peak periods. Route 582 will depart from Woodroffe and Knoxdale, serve local stops in the Craig Henry and Trend-Arlington areas, and save time for customers by continuing directly to Tunney’s Pasture Station with no stops after Baseline and Greenbank. This service will begin on November 2. Customers will receive further information at octranspo.com in advance of the route going into service.</span></p>
<p class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun">Additional route adjustments have been made based on customer feedback and travel patterns. This includes adding two trips to both Route 256 and  Route 75. Further adjustments will be made on the following routes in the coming weeks, including adding: </span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun">Adding morning trips on Route 12, Route 62 and Route 277</span></li>
<li class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun">Adding a later morning trip on Route 561</span></li>
<li class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun">Adding afternoon trips on Route 85 and Route 111</span></li>
</ul>
<p class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun">Routes continue to be reviewed for further adjustments to better support customers.</span></p>
<p class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun"><b>Fleet improvements: New buses in every community</b></span></p>
<p class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun">OC Transpo now has 187 electric buses as part of its fleet. This means that customers across the City, </span><a title="https://www.octranspo.com/en/our-services/vehicles/zero-emission-bus%20below" href="https://www.octranspo.com/en/our-services/vehicles/zero-emission-bus%20below" data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="0" data-ogsc=""><span class="x_normaltextrun" data-ogsc=""><span data-ogsc="rgb(70, 120, 134)">as seen in the map below and on octranspo.com</span></span></a><span class="x_normaltextrun"> are benefiting from the new buses that provide a quieter, more comfortable ride.  The new electric fleet is the direct result of Council’s investment.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ElectricRoutes.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-23134" src="https://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ElectricRoutes.png" alt="A transit map showing routes with zero-emission buses" width="696" height="391" srcset="https://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ElectricRoutes.png 696w, https://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ElectricRoutes-480x270.png 480w" sizes="(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 696px, 100vw" /></a></p>
<p class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun"><span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">As mentioned at Transit Committee, the focus of the maintenance team has been to conduct proactive maintenance on the bus fleet. This has resulted in a 48 per cent decrease in vehicle defects reported on in-service buses since the peak of last winter. Maintenance activities continue to move towards more proactive work and less time spent on reactive maintenance.</span></span></p>
<p class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun"><b>Improving Customer Feedback</b></span></p>
<p class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun">The improvement in service and investments made in the fleet has seen an improvement in the customer experience. Overall, customer complaints have decreased by 18 per cent. When comparing the number of complaints received to September 2025, highlights include:</span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun">Schedule adherence feedback decreased by 57 per cent, indicating fewer reports of service reliability issues.</span></li>
<li class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun">“Bus did not show” complaints decreased by 72 per cent.</span></li>
<li class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun">Late-service feedback decreased by 50 per cent.</span></li>
</ul>
<p class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun">This decrease has been seen predominantly on routes that have had schedule adjustments made. As service continues to improve, Customer Service resources can be directed to support other customer needs, including Para Transpo service.</span></p>
<p class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun"><b>Park and Ride</b></span></p>
<p class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun">As reported weekly through the </span><a title="https://engage.ottawa.ca/mobility-dashboard" href="https://engage.ottawa.ca/mobility-dashboard" data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="1" data-ogsc=""><span class="x_normaltextrun" data-ogsc=""><span data-ogsc="rgb(70, 120, 134)">City’s mobility dashboard</span></span></a><span class="x_normaltextrun">, a steady increase in Park and Ride utilization has been seen since the start of September. The east and west end of the city have seen the largest increase. Some areas that have seen the strongest demand, when compared to the same time last year: </span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="x_paragraph"><span class="x_normaltextrun">Bowesville: 90 per cent increase</span></li>

<h1>Améliorations apportées au service d&#8217;OC Transpo en septembre</h1>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA" data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">Le présent courriel a pour but de vous faire part des progrès réalisés par OC Transpo en vue d’améliorer le service offert à la clientèle grâce à son Plan d’action axé sur la clientèle. Les données de septembre montrent des améliorations à l’échelle du réseau dans de nombreux domaines clés, notamment le rendement en matière de ponctualité d’autobus, la fiabilité du parc d’autobus et la satisfaction de la clientèle.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><b><span lang="FR-CA">Ponctualité : le meilleur rendement en 13 mois</span></b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA">Un élément clé du Plan d’action axé sur la clientèle consiste à ajuster les horaires d’autobus, puisque 70 % des clients utilisent l’autobus pour leurs déplacements. Comme nous l’avons indiqué au Comité du transport en commun, ce travail a débuté au printemps et à l’été avec huit circuits, puis s’est étendu à 22 circuits en septembre, pour un total de 30 circuits desservant 50 % des usagers du transport en commun. Nous constatons maintenant les résultats de cet important travail, par rapport à l’année dernière:</span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="x_MsoListParagraph"><b><span lang="FR-CA">Ponctualité : </span></b><span lang="FR-CA">Dans l’ensemble, en septembre, le rendement d’autobus s’est amélioré pour atteindre 77 %, soit une hausse de 9 % et le meilleur rendement en 13 mois.</span></li>
<li class="x_MsoListParagraph"><b><span lang="FR-CA">Trajets manqués : </span></b><span lang="FR-CA">Ils ont diminué d’environ 57 %. En septembre, seulement 4 % des trajets d’autobus ont été manqués. Il s’agit d’un progrès important dans la prestation du service qu’OC Transpo promet à ses clients.</span></li>
<li class="x_MsoListParagraph"><b><span lang="FR-CA">Trajets non effectués : </span></b><span lang="FR-CA">Ils ont diminué d’environ 69 %. En septembre, seulement 0,8 % des trajets d’autobus n’ont pas été effectués.</span></li>
</ul>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA">Des améliorations ont également été observées en matière de ponctualité du service Para Transpo, le taux de ramassage à l’heure ayant atteint 95 % en septembre, soit une amélioration de 2 % par rapport à la même période l’année dernière.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA">D’autres indicateurs de rendement clés, habituellement présentés au Comité du transport en commun, sont joints au présent courriel.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><b><span lang="FR-CA">Déplacements des clients : une demande en hausse</span></b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA">Les données préliminaires montrent que les usagers ont effectué davantage de déplacements sur le réseau de l’O-Train et avec Para Transpo par rapport à septembre dernier. Bien que les données soient encore en cours de vérification, les premiers résultats indiquent que l’achalandage global a augmenté d’environ 3 % par rapport à la même période l’année dernière.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA">Voici les faits saillants:</span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="x_MsoListParagraph"><b><span lang="FR-CA">Réseau de l’O-Train : </span></b><span lang="FR-CA">En septembre, le réseau de l’O-Train a enregistré 2,73 millions de déplacements de clients, soit une hausse de 2 % par rapport à septembre 2025.</span></li>
<li class="x_MsoListParagraph"><b><span lang="FR-CA">Para Transpo : </span></b><span lang="FR-CA">La fréquentation a augmenté de 8 % depuis l’année dernière. Cela représente une hausse d’environ 75 800 à 81 600 trajets.</span></li>
</ul>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA">Les données complètes sur l’achalandage seront communiquées au maire et aux membres du Conseil municipal dès qu’elles seront disponibles.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><b><span lang="FR-CA">Poursuite des améliorations apportées au service d’autobus express : circuit 582</span></b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA">Le service d’autobus express lancé en septembre s’est avéré très populaire. Les données préliminaires indiquent que les usagers ont effectué en moyenne 783 embarquements par jour de semaine, la demande variant selon le circuit. Le personnel examine actuellement la fréquentation et les commentaires des usagers afin de déterminer les améliorations qui pourraient être apportées.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA">Afin de répondre aux demandes des usagers qui souhaitent un service accru, un nouveau trajet d’autobus express sera ajouté pour compléter le circuit 82 pendant les heures de pointe. Le circuit 582 partira de l’intersection de l’avenue Woodroffe et du chemin Knoxdale, desservira les arrêts locaux dans les quartiers de Craig Henry et de Trend-Arlington, et permettra aux usagers de gagner du temps en se rendant directement à la station Tunney’s Pasture sans arrêt après l’intersection des chemins Baseline et Greenbank. Ce service débutera le 2 novembre. Les usagers recevront de plus amples renseignements sur octranspo.com avant la mise en service du circuit.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA">D’autres ajustements ont été apportés aux circuits en fonction des commentaires des clients et des habitudes de déplacement. Cela comprend l’ajout de deux trajets sur les circuits 256 et 75. D’autres ajustements seront effectués au cours des prochaines semaines sur les circuits suivants, notamment les ajouts suivants : </span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="x_MsoListParagraph"><span lang="FR-CA">des trajets matinaux sur les circuits 12, 62 et 277;</span></li>
<li class="x_MsoListParagraph"><span lang="FR-CA">un trajet plus tardif en matinée sur le circuit 561;</span></li>
<li class="x_MsoListParagraph"><span lang="FR-CA">des trajets en après-midi sur les circuits 85 et 111.</span></li>
</ul>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA">Les circuits continuent d’être revus en vue d’autres ajustements visant à mieux répondre aux besoins des clients.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><b><span lang="FR-CA">Améliorations du parc : de nouveaux autobus dans chaque communauté</span></b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA">OC Transpo compte désormais 187 autobus électriques dans son parc. Cela signifie que les usagers de toute la ville, </span><a title="https://www.octranspo.com/fr/nos-services/vehicules/autobus-sans-emission/" href="https://www.octranspo.com/fr/nos-services/vehicules/autobus-sans-emission/" data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="0" data-ogsc=""><span lang="FR-CA" data-ogsc="">comme le montrent la carte ci-dessous et le site octranspo.com</span></a><span lang="FR-CA">, bénéficient de ces nouveaux autobus qui offrent un trajet plus silencieux et plus confortable. Le nouveau parc électrique est le résultat direct de l’investissement du Conseil.</span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA" data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">Comme mentionné au Comité du transport en commun, l’équipe d’entretien s’est concentrée sur la mise en œuvre d’un entretien proactif du parc d’autobus. Cela s’est traduit par une diminution de 48 % des défaillances signalées sur les autobus en service depuis le pic de l’hiver dernier. Les activités d’entretien continuent de s’orienter vers un travail plus proactif et une réduction du temps consacré à l’entretien réactif.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><b><span lang="FR-CA">Amélioration de la rétroaction des clients</span></b></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA">L’amélioration du service et les investissements réalisés dans le parc ont permis d’améliorer l’expérience client. Dans l’ensemble, les plaintes des clients ont diminué de 18 %. Si l’on compare le nombre de plaintes reçues à celui de septembre 2025, voici les points saillants:</span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="x_MsoListParagraph"><span lang="FR-CA">Les commentaires concernant le respect des horaires ont diminué de 57 %, ce qui indique une baisse des signalements de problèmes liés à la fiabilité du service.</span></li>

<li class="x_MsoListParagraph"><span lang="FR-CA">Les commentaires concernant les retards ont diminué de 50 %.</span></li>
</ul>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="FR-CA">Cette diminution a été observée principalement sur les circuits ayant fait l’objet d’ajustements d’horaires. À mesure que le service continue de s’améliorer, les ressources du Service à la clientèle peuvent être réorientées vers d’autres besoins des clients, notamment le service Para Transpo.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><b><span lang="FR-CA">Parcs relais</span></b></p>

Si le Conseil approuve les recommandations du Comité, les promoteurs immobiliers pourront passer aux étapes suivantes en vue de la construction de 832 logements supplémentaires. Depuis le début de l’année 2026, le Comité a recommandé l’approbation de demandes d’aménagement qui permettraient la construction de près de 4 200 nouveaux logements.</span></p>
