Only problem I can see is Ottawa not wanting to do this because of traffic problems it could cause on Elgin during peak rush hours. Elgin should be a main street and pedestrian friendly, not a commuter route out of downtown.
Montreal does this exact same thing too (http://goo.gl/maps/xEILC)! And I agree, Elgin should be a main street!
