We heard about bus stop upgrades earlier this summer. This afternoon I got to see some work in progress firsthand, at Ottawa and Westmount.
On Ottawa, here's the existing stop for the outbound 3 and future 205. Replacement and upgrade of the existing concrete (and hopefully with a shelter, too).
In the other direction on Ottawa, this is a completely new stop in front of the funeral home - it will consolidate two existing stops, the one further up Ottawa (you can see it in the background) and one on the opposite side of Westmount. Clearly a pad for a shelter, too.
On Westmount, here's the Conestoga-bound 12 platform. They're replacing and lengthening the pre-existing stop (which had a shelter, so should again).
And finally, the Fairway-bound 12. This gets the least work, just a lengthening of the existing platform (which will be a big help for wheelchair users, they'll no longer need to exit with the shelter in front of them).
