Heads up Ottawa:
🚘🚫 A Winter Weather Parking Ban will be in effect on Monday, January 26 from 10 am to 7 pm. When vehicles are removed from our streets, the Roads and Parking Services team can clear snow efficiently to create a wide-open roadway.

I’m at Lyon counting trains. Trains are getting fuller but it’s 3-4 minute service on single trains. Westbound trains are this point have lots of seats. There’s no platform crowding here.
