City budget shovels millions toward transit, housing
Draft plan includes $7.5M to boost bus service, $15M toward affordable housing
The city will spend an extra $7.5 million in 2020 to make buses more reliable and expand suburban routes, Mayor Jim Watson promised as he laid out Ottawa's spending plan for the coming year.
"We have heard loud and clear ... [riders] want better dependability in the bus service that connects to LRT," Watson said as he introduced the 2020 draft budget at city hall Wednesday.
The draft budget also maintains the mayor's election campaign promise to keep property taxes capped at a three per cent increase.
