Connecting another line to the Transit Hub would make the most sense, especially if the region is going to foot the bill for the majority of the train station. I think think the east line should run down victoria, with the line splitting at Edna, one tail continues down Victoria and the other tail runs along the highway to the AUD grounds (New Hospital) then runs down Ottawa. Quick sketch of the Idea.

Problem with that is that the MTO owns Victoria from the expressway all the way out past Breslau and there is no way they would allow a LRT.

Forgive me, but doesn’t the MTO own Hespeler Road too since it’s Highway 24? How do these things intersect between city vs region vs province?
