Quite true. Although I am not sure if it's been ripped out or not?

Just thinking about it, but O-Train extension(s) to Terrasses and/or Montcalm/Crémazie would likely be most beneficial to public servants living in the south and west ends of Ottawa.

As I've said before, none of the major cross-river origin-destination routings from Gatineau are to inner west Ottawa and points beyond going west and south. They're very predominantly to downtown Ottawa and then it's to points in inner east Ottawa (Vanier-St. Laurent-Montfort-Cité collégiale, etc.) The only major exception to this rule is Tunney's Pasture.

For existing residents, maybe; but things change over time. Pre O-Train, South Keys would not have been a terribly desirable location for Carleton students, now it is, old Hull would become the same; likewise for anyone working at Confederation Heights, a commute that would be pretty awful from Gatineau today.

This raises the age-old question of whether we build to address current needs and problems, or if we build for the future and "direct" the needs of tomorrow.

You're right. I did a check and those tracks are definitely still there.
