They will haunt the driver’s family for some time. Never choose an attorney based solely on their cost. If you hired a good <a href="http://www.duilawyerlosangeles.com/" rel="nofollow">Los Angeles DUI attorney</a>, you do not have to carry your image as a drunk driver forever.

I hiked from the car over to the tracks and found some teenagers loitering around on the bridge and walking down the tracks but again no luck. Was hard to see the light tree towards Bells corners but I don't believe it was functioning. If it still does, I expected it to be red. Oh well. I'll try again next week.AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13805174926952294860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-28291126187011431202014-09-30T16:37:42.335-04:002014-09-30T16:37:42.335-04:00Strongly agree Michael.

I see where the mayor is getting at but realistically, if there's an already existing line to Kanata, why build something that will take much longer to finish, and will cost a whole lot more?Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16438376599128499287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-17763006292978781642014-09-30T12:15:55.540-04:002014-09-30T12:15:55.540-04:00Thanks for the info, Alex.

It seems realistic whereas the incumbent mayor's LRT plans are okay in theory but far too expensive for my taste. Also, how long will it take to get that line out to Kanata and Orleans, where it is truly needed? Heavy rail can reach Kanata now. Seems like a no-brainer.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07917230984518214781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-69819592593572803992014-09-30T10:34:36.855-04:002014-09-30T10:34:36.855-04:00Lots of discussioin about Mike McGuire's plan ...Lots of discussioin about Mike McGuire's plan as well as a GO system in Ottawa on the Lowell Green show this morning.

I am happy to report that I caught 589 on Sunday on its way to Kott and Twin Elm. I will be sharing those photos this week.

I identify it by Holly Acres since I drive that stretch daily to get to the office. <br />I might camp out for 20-30 mins on Wednesday after work and see if I can get lucky. If I get successful over the next few weeks, maybe we can figure out a pattern and map out a rough timetable.

I don't think that's the time every week though because as I said sometimes I'm unsuccessful. I wish I knew all of the times. By Holly Acres bridge do you mean the 416 bridge? <br /><br />I'm glad there are candidates like Maguire that are pushing for using existing track in the city for commuter rail, it does make quite a lot of sense.

All this time I have likely been missing it!!<br /><br />Fantastic news about the Renfrew Spur. I know I have been trying to bring it up in discussions on CFRA programs as well as their various FB pages. It's been somewhat well received, but I am more hoping candidates like McGuire are taking notice (I know some people who know well and support him publicly). Like the bike lobby, you just got to keep trying to push it!AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13805174926952294860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680264279342137192.post-26059547779074265342014-09-25T17:22:46.779-04:002014-09-25T17:22:46.779-04:00Thanks for another great post Michael.

Though, I think further action is still needed. I believe construction of overpasses to replace some of the level crossings on the busier roads on this line should be considered due to the high amount of trains passing through Barrhaven every day. <br /><br />That news regarding the Renfrew Spur makes me very excited, it's about time someone has recognized the usefulness of said line. I'd love to see some more action on it in the near future. It would be shame to see it go to waste thinking of all the infrastructure that was built for it in the seventies, not to mention seeing another rail line in Ottawa go would be very frustrating in itself. <br /><br />I've managed to catch the 589 three times, all three heading back east at around 3:45 PM on Wednesday at the Greenbank overpass. I don't think that's a very consistent time as I have tried to catch it 3 other times at the same time unsuccessfully. I've yet to try and catch heading west in the morning. Hope that helps!
