Your city in inaction

[lrt's friend]

I have just watched an incredible situation near where I live.

For going on 3 hours and still counting, after an accident that has incapacitated two vehicles partially blocking Bank Street, no police has shown up to deal with the accident and clear away the accident site.

What is incredible, this is a short distance from an Ottawa police station. No police car has traveled on this section of Bank Street in that time in either direction. I started debating with my cousin that police were deliberately routing themselves around the location to avoid dealing with the situation.

Meanwhile, tow trucks have been circulating and an OC Transpo supervisor vehicle has stopped at the accident site without talking to anybody. Buses could somewhat awkwardly still get around the accident.

I am shocked by the shoddy service provided by the city especially when there was a road hazard.

I called 911 and as soon as mentioned the accident and location, they didn't want to deal with it.
