This is for Kitchissppi, can you repost you idea for what the Gatineau LRT route should be actually? I found it was the best and most realistic option.

Here it is. I agree, this is a good option. I might use Allumettière instead of St-Raymond for its TOD potential and more central location, especially the Robert Guertin site. It would also be cheaper. Though both options are good.

Excuse the size of the following diagrams as I wanted to have them all at the same scale. 60m platforms would probably be sufficient for a long time, using a train similar to the expanded version of Ottawa's Citadis
I imagine this sort of integration with the Confederation Line at Lyon, and either using the Portage Bridge or just excavating a tunnel under the river:
Continuing in a cut-and-cover along Maisonneuve:
And then westward either along the highway or by implementing some road diets:
It would service Galleries de Hull and The St-Joseph main street:
It would make the hospital more accessible, and imagine being able to ski Gatineau Park coming off the LRT 
It would terminate BRT plaza near the cinemas in the Plateau until a future phase to extend it all the way to Old Aylmer:
