All just personal opinions here:
- i agree the tramway is expensive. there definitely needs to be some value engineering and spilting the project into phases.
- Random thoughts: do we need a tunnel through ottawa downtown? And, is there really a need for two tramway routes: Eardley <-> Galleries Aylmer <-> Ottawa and Plateau <-> Ottawa
- Could the city start smaller and do a hub and spoke model where buses would temporarily dump passengers at an tramway terminus (ex. blair / tunneys pasture)
