This, this, this and this. That's exactly what is going on.
Sometimes disused or under-used pieces of infrastructure get a new lease of life that's logically self-explanatory. Like many of the freight rail corridors in the Montreal and Toronto areas.
But sometimes they don't make sense. Or it takes time to find the right use for it. Or perhaps you can't make use of them right away because there are other more pressing priorities. (That can suck though if the said infrastructure is falling apart and needs some urgent TLC if it's to remain usable at some point in the future.)
Tons of ideas have been floated around but I don't think there is an obvious transit use for PoW that works for both Ottawa and Gatineau in the cards right now.
