Express lane coming for some planning approvals, mayor says

[guest]

OTTAWA — The city government will create an “express lane” for planning approvals for projects that meet high environmental standards, Mayor Jim Watson promised in his budget speech Wednesday morning.

Projects that do so will get quick treatment by the city’s planning department.
