Kingston's page now opens with a drawing of Fort Henry's limestone ramparts on the hill where Lake Ontario becomes the St. Lawrence, with the Wolfe Island ferry crossing in the distance.
Kingston is live with two tools, both reading the City's own data rather than a page someone has to keep retyping. **Next Buses** shows the next departures from the four busiest stops — Downtown, Queen's/Kingston General Hospital, Cataraqui Centre and St. Lawrence College — reading Kingston Transit's published timetable and its live vehicle feed together. Times marked live come from the bus itself; the rest are the timetable, and the page says which is which. Route changes and holiday schedules follow automatically, because it reads the same file the agency publishes. It is not the agency: for a cancellation or a detour, Kingston Transit's service alerts are still the word that counts. **Winter Parking Ban** answers the question the rules make genuinely confusing. In January and February there is no overnight on-street parking at all — every night, snow or no snow, 1 a.m. to 7 a.m., and from midnight around Kingston General Hospital. In December and March the City only bans it when the weather calls for it, and announces that by about 4 p.m. The page tells you which rule tonight falls under, and in the weather-based months whether the forecast snow is anywhere near the 5 cm the City acts on. It never says a ban is on — only the City declares one — and it links straight to the City's page and its email notices. Both tools carry the City of Kingston's open data licence. If something here is wrong, the correction link at the foot of each page comes to us.
