Just as a curiosity, let's do a poll among the users on our transit future. We've did lots of debates on various transit plans but let's do a vote since there were no past polls on that subject. Let's include all four options from the City and some other options from other councilors and other users. Obviously, I cannot post every single option.
So what transit improvement option (s) will be the best for the city of Ottawa.
Option 1 to 4 - See: http://www.ottawa.ca/residents/public_consult/beyond_2020/tmp/transit_options/boards_21apr08_bil.pdf
Option 1: Bus Based
Option 2: BUS + N-S LRT
Option 3: E-W LRT
Option 4: E-W + N-S LRT
* All options include a transit tunnel
* Jan Harder's plan includes alternate rail service from Fallowfield to the Train Station thus between both VIA Rail stations in Ottawa
* Clive Doucet's Plan includes extensions to Kanata and Orleans and rail service on Carling Avenue
* Djeffrey's Plan: See http://www.ottawatransit.ca/
* Christine Leadman's Plan : See http://www.kitchissippiward.com/vm/newvisual/attachments/735/documents/The%20Need%20for%20a%20Better%20Option.pdf
* Transportation Task Force: See http://moving-ottawa.ca/downloads/2037-english.pdf
* Franky's Option: See http://docs.google.com/Present?docid=dfbfrhxh_23d8697pd4&skipauth=true (if link does not work access the thread at http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=149424
* Option 4 + suburbs is my prefered transit plan which includes extensions of Option 4 to include rail service to Kanata, Barrhaven, Orleans and Riverside South.
