To turn the project over to the City. Service will begin sometime in the month following the turn over.
Ah … so likely start of revenue service will be sometime in April -- but not confirmed yet by the city.

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

So it is. My bad, got confused with the RTG document and the city document. Sorry.

What's the difference between launching service and a handover date?

About thirty days in Ottawa's case, apparently.

Pretty cool that it will link up to the O-Train in two spots!

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.

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?
