Ottawa St, at its narrowest point, is 25m wide, building to building.
Borden Ave, at its narrowest point, is 23m wide, building to building.
If the former is, apparently, wide enough to accommodate 5 lanes (4 car, 1 LRT), then the latter should be able to accommodate 4 lanes (2 car, 2 LRT)

It's tight, I agree, but so is the future situation on Ottawa.  Both are clearly achievable, but neither without some degree of expropriation.

Is there confirmation somewhere that Ottawa will be widened between Charles and Mill?  I can see why it might be, but I have never seen anything concrete to confirm that it's going to happen.
