i'm fine with this as an interim measure.
I'm coming around to the idea in the long-term that the Feds should just buy/take POW from the city of Ottawa, rebuild it, and give it to Gatineau.
Gatineau, with provincial and federal money, can then build a line from aylmer to hull with a spur to bayview down the new POW bridge. If they want they can run a single line that does the Bayview detour on the way to Hull (annoying for Aylmerites headed to Hull, i know). If the economics allow it, they could run 3 separate lines on the track: Aylmer-Hull, Aylmer-Bayview, and Hull-Bayview. Eventually the Hull line could be extended via Fournier/Greber or perhaps wrapping around Sacre Coeur to the Rapibus corridor.
