Looks like it; the 6 new Alstoms and the 3 old Bombardiers. The old sets are a fair bit longer than the new ones.

The development in Kanatittsville is the most striking change.
Suburplosion galore in Kanata!

West 417 from Moodie to Eagleson (even a bit west and east of them respectively), among the widen portions has also large portions blacked out

Has anyone else noticed that someone appears to have gone crazy and put in every bus stop in mostly suburban areas? The icons are big "M"s instead of the bus icons that are used along the transit way. I dont know how to turn them off!

Cool find. Looked around and they have the lifts, but not the runs, on the map for Fortune. https://www.google.ca/maps/@45.5096157,-75.8456746,18z

yeah, it's all over ottawa, i noticed a couple of days ago.
not quite sure how to inform google about it.

I assume OC Transpo has some sort of liason that can deal with this. Maybe i'm overestimating OC Transpo's competency though.

Had spotted Google Street View cars in Le Plateau during the afternoon rush today. At least 2 cars were parked at the Petro-Canada at St-Raymond and Le Plateau, and later spotted one of them on Pink Road 10 minutes later. Only the front cam was not covered.

Go back in time with Street View

If you’ve ever dreamt of being a time traveler like Doc Brown, now’s your chance. Starting today, you can travel to the past to see how a place has changed over the years by exploring Street View imagery in Google Maps for desktop. We've gathered historical imagery from past Street View collections dating back to 2007 to create this digital time capsule of the world.

There had been some roads in the city that were, for whatever reason, completely blacked out (West Hunt Club between Greenbank and Cedarview, Richmond Road, Teron Road, 417 Westbound lanes near Moodie Drive, Franktown Road between Richmond and Carleton Place) and some imagery that had just been removed altogether (Alta Vista Drive).
With this new development of "time travel", I notice that they have restored these missing photos.

Also noticed there is a bunch of 2013 imagery in the rural areas... SD&G, Russell... haven't found any in Ottawa yet though.
