What Is the Ottawa Light Rail Project

 

Light Rail transportation systems have always been an issue faced by governments in any growing city. The reasons to support light rail seem simple enough. These include decreasing traffic congestion and lowering pollution counts to acceptable levels. With the high cost of oil and gasoline rising every day, many automobile drivers are looking at urban light rail transportation as a possible option. The City of Ottawa has chosen to build an electric light rail system. Some concerned citizens and taxpayers believe the costs are too high and certain aspects of the plan are worth reviewing, mainly to save money but also to serve practicality. The following video clips feature members of Transport 2000, the public working group that was formed to review the selection of the Light Rail Yard , and many other concerned citizens, relating their views and ideas on how to improve the City of Ottawa’s official plan.
