RE: Ottawa LRT - Canard - 01-03-2019
The document I linked to estimates +1 month past handover for service start.

Yes. But it's not the city's document.

Except it literally is:

So it is. My bad, got confused with the RTG document and the city document. Sorry.
RE: Ottawa LRT - Spokes - 01-07-2019
What's the difference between launching service and a handover date?
RE: Ottawa LRT - panamaniac - 01-07-2019
About thirty days in Ottawa's case, apparently.

Not the Ottawa LRT, but Ottawa:

Absolutely horrible

Pretty cool that it will link up to the O-Train in two spots!
RE: Ottawa LRT - panamaniac - 01-17-2019
If it gets built (it's Ottawa, so there's bound to be drama, with many a committee struck!). Depending on the details, the crossing at the Alexandra Bridge could be highly contentious.

That's extremely exciting and ambitious.
Gatineau is small, the whole region is only about 50% bigger than Kitchener alone, but this would be the second major transit project, they already have real (i.e., much of it in it's own right of way) BRT system. I was really shocked how good the transit was for such a small city.
Of course, they're going to need some serious TOD to make that economically feasible.
RE: Ottawa LRT - Spokes - 01-17-2019
Very very cool.
Not entirely surprised that it links with Ottawa's. Will really help maximize federal funding since so much government office space is across the river now.

It's true, but considered part of the NCR, the Feds consider it very important.

Interesting that we're just discussing it now - was it not posted last summer when the announcement was made?
RE: Ottawa LRT - Spokes - 01-18-2019
True, you definitely posted it back then, and no talk. Good catch!
