FUNDING CONFIRMED FOR OTTAWA LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT
................
"The MOU builds on the project that was proposed in May 2004, when federal and provincial funding was first announced. The project is projected to run west from the Rideau Centre through downtown Ottawa to LeBreton Flats, turning south to the area of Leitrim Road, then west through the city’s Riverside South Community and across the Rideau River, to end at Woodroffe Avenue in the community of South Nepean. The project also includes construction of the new Strandherd-Armstrong train/car bridge that will connect communities on the east and west sides of the Rideau River."
"The City is targeting construction on the north-south Light Rail Transit corridor to start in summer 2006, with service beginning in the Fall of 2009."
