Its all about pride as in terms of value for money it has to be one of the worst ever proposed in Canada. Rail for rail's sake with a meandering and slow route combined with extremely high costs to get those people all the way to Ottawa.

That's where they're going, and don't act like they live super far away. Aylmer is only as far as Bayshore, the longest branch is still a shorter trip than Line 2 to Bayview.

Rail was chosen based on numerous studies. Whether you do bus lanes or trams, you're kind of stuck with the same surface route options. Rail provides far more capacity for long term growth.

With proper signal priority and exclusive lanes, you can get something decently quick. My only criticism is that the route had too many stations. Those last studies now killed at great cost might have told us that.

«Là, c’est assez»: une vaste mobilisation régionale s’organise autour du tramway

Par Mathieu Bélanger, Le Droit
23 février 2026 à 16h32


L’Outaouais continue d’avoir de travers dans la gorge la décision du gouvernement Legault de retirer sa participation financière dans le tramway de Gatineau et de mandater Mobilité Infra Québec de revoir l’ensemble du projet. Une vaste mobilisation régionale est en préparation depuis quelques jours pour aviser le gouvernement qu’il pourrait bien cette fois s’agir de la goutte qui fait déborder le vase.

Une conférence de presse qui réunira de nombreux acteurs régionaux issus des milieux politique, économique, environnemental, de l’enseignement et de la mobilité doit avoir lieu mardi à 11 h, à Gatineau. Devant le tollé provoqué par l’annonce de Québec, il y a une semaine, la mairesse de Gatineau, Maude Marquis-Bissonnette, a souhaité réunir tous ceux qui avaient quelque chose à dire afin de lancer un message commun et d’envergure régional au gouvernement du Québec.

Plus tôt en journée, lundi, la Conférence des préfets de l’Outaouais a adopté à l’unanimité une résolution proposée par la mairesse en appui au tramway de Gatineau. Les préfets de l’Outaouais demandent ainsi au gouvernement Legault d’«agir rapidement pour préserver le financement annoncé et ne pas retarder la planification et la réalisation du projet». Il est aussi demandé à tous les partis provinciaux de prendre un engagement clair pour le financement de la planification et la réalisation du projet.

La Conférence des préfets rappelle que les études réalisées jusqu’à maintenant ont démontré que le tramway constitue «l’unique solution structurante et durable pour répondre aux besoins de mobilité à Gatineau et permettre de désengorger l’ouest de la ville». Le tramway, stipule la résolution, représente aussi un «levier stratégique majeur pour le développement économique en stimulant l’investissement, en favorisant la densification autour des axes de transport et en renforçant l’attractivité du territoire».

«Une région qui se tient debout»

Le directeur de MOBI-O et membre de la coalition S’allier pour le tramway, Patrick Robert-Meunier, explique que la mobilisation à laquelle la région assistera mardi est galvanisée par la nécessité de sauvegarder le financement pour la réalisation du tramway, mais que dans les faits, c’est un message bien plus large qui sera lancé par les nombreux intervenants.

«On va assister à une région qui se tient debout pour défendre ses intérêts, dit-il. Oui, c’est une mobilisation pour le projet de tramway, mais c’est plus que ça, c’est la région qui lance le message que là, c’est assez et qu’elle entend se faire écouter. On ne peut plus faire abstraction du contexte. C’est un ensemble de situations qu’on voit se répéter depuis trop longtemps dans la région.»

Par ailleurs, la grande patronne de Mobilité Infra Québec, Renée Amilcar, sera de passage à Gatineau mercredi et jeudi afin de venir rencontrer en personne différents intervenants liés au projet de tramway. Elle doit être de retour les 3 et 4 mars.

Son bureau a confirmé au Droit l’intention de Mme Amilcar de rencontrer la direction de la Société de transport de l’Outaouais (STO) et du Bureau de projet du tramway. Une rencontre est aussi prévue avec la Ville de Gatineau et la mairesse Marquis-Bissonnette. Mme Amilcar souhaite agir en toute transparence, insiste son bureau. Elle entend profiter de son passage dans la région pour préciser les détails du mandat qui lui a été confié par le ministre des Transports du Québec, Jonatan Julien, la semaine dernière.

It's not that it's too far to deserve transit. There are a couple of issues that combine to make it a nonsense project.

First of all the population of Aylmer is 75,000. That's magnitudes smaller than the population west of Bayshore that will be using line 2.

Because of this they try and meander through all of Aylmer to put as many people near a stop as possible and get an acceptable level or ridership. This means it will be extremely slow. At the same time they have the insane idea to make the last mile grade seperated of some sort. Pushing the project into the $4 Billion+ range in 2025 dollars. I don't see even the Netherlands or something spending $4 Billion to connect a city of 75000 to downtown.And that would be a dense suburb with cost prohibitive parking and vehicle costs. It's idealogy over logic.

There's more population west of Bayshore, but that's why in Ottawa we're building a metro (with tram-trains for some dumb reason) with a capacity twice that of the STO's train.

You use only the population of Aylmer and the full cost of the project to justify your opposition to the project. A big chunk of Hull will be served as well. Easily 100k will be near the tram. The University will be near the tram. Ottawa residents who go to work in Hull on transit will use the tram. The entire area served by the tram is growing rapidly.

It's not Gantieau or the STO's fault that costs for all transit lines in Canada have skyrocketed. If we stop building transit because it's too expensive, costs will continue to baloon while congestion gets far worse.

At these costs, it's time to look at how integration can save. I am guessing taking Line 2 across the river to connect to Gatineau buses and trams is probably cheaper. This way the entire tramway can be kept at grade in Gatineau. And they can build something similar to what KWC built with ION.

What's proposed is similar to ION, or the Edmonton Valley Line.

I think they should remove some stations, not just to save money, but to speed up the trip. I wouldn't mind phasing it out (two branches, two phases). These things could be done without resetting the entire project as the CAQ has done.

Guy returns after a few weeks to create division between east and west, and throwing mud on the Mayor, by the dumbest take, easily disproven, while being just the biggest hypocrite.

And speaking in favour of a project his Government just pulled funding from, like he doesn't know.

Le ministre responsable de l’Outaouais, Mathieu Lacombe, «n’acceptera pas» que le prolongement du Rapibus jusqu’au boulevard de l’Aéroport «soit mis sur la voie de service», que ce soit par la Ville de Gatineau ou par Québec.

Some of us had mentioned this, but there's more momentum on the argument. I'm sure some will say "the tramway was killed, what does it matter", but it will come back at some point, be it a year or a decade, and the argument is still relevant for STO access by bus.

Montreal is getting both an expensive tunnel to Downtown (which is absolutely warranted), but they are also, to great expense, getting a second station for their biggest suburb Laval. Ottawa only wants one station (I know, I know, some want two or three, but that's not on Alto's radar), but make it central so our biggest suburb has easy access.

TGV et tramway: Gatineau ne peut pas «manquer son coup»
Par Mathieu Bélanger, Le Droit
4 mars 2026 à 04h05


Un train à grande vitesse qui s’arrêterait à une station à l’extérieur du centre-ville d’Ottawa ne serait pas juste dommage pour Gatineau, ce serait carrément «catastrophique» pour l’avenir de la mobilité et du développement économique de la quatrième ville en importance au Québec, croit l’organisme MOBI-O.

À une semaine de la consultation publique du TGV de la société d’État Alto à Gatineau, l’organisme spécialisé dans la gestion des déplacements joint sa voix à celle de plusieurs experts, du maire d’Ottawa et de la mairesse de Gatineau pour militer en faveur d’une station du futur train à grande vitesse au centre-ville d’Ottawa, mais aussi pour une connexion efficace avec le tramway dont vient d’hériter Mobilité Infra Québec.

«Le TGV est un projet extrêmement important qui a le potentiel de transformer la mobilité interurbaine, alors il ne faut pas qu’on manque notre coup, insiste le directeur général de MOBI-O, Patrick Robert-Meunier. Si on n’a pas de connexion efficace, on va rater la cible. Si tout le monde de Gatineau doit prendre son auto pour se rendre au TGV, il y aura clairement quelque chose qui n’aura pas fonctionné. On ne peut pas se contenter d’une station excentrée sur le chemin Tremblay. Ça serait refaire l’erreur du passé. Ce n’est pas une solution. Il faut absolument une station centrale et accessible, et pour Gatineau, le seul compromis acceptable, c’est une station au centre-ville d’Ottawa.»

Le projet de train à grande vitesse qui doit relier Toronto et Québec proposé par le gouvernement fédéral a le potentiel de transformer les échanges et les déplacements entre les grandes villes présentes sur son tracé pour les 100 prochaines années, affirme M. Robert-Meunier. Raison de plus, dit-il, pour que Gatineau ne fasse pas que regarder le train passer et s’assure que ses besoins soient considérés pour la suite des choses.

«Un système structurant comme ça permet d’attirer des entreprises, note M. Robert-Meunier. S’il passe loin du centre-ville d’Ottawa, donc encore plus loin de Gatineau, ça va nous nuire économiquement et réduire notre capacité à attirer de nouvelles entreprises. Le maire d’Ottawa, Mark Sutcliffe, souhaite aussi une station au centre-ville parce qu’il sait très bien que d’avoir une station excentrée va vouloir dire plus de congestion, donc plus de nuisance économique.»

Connecté au tramway

L’emplacement de la future station du TGV à Ottawa et sa connexion avec le tramway de Gatineau sont deux sujets qui ont été soulevés par la pdg de Mobilité Infra Québec, Renée Amilcar, lors de sa rencontre avec les représentants de MOBI-O, la semaine dernière. C’est d’ailleurs elle-même qui a abordé le sujet, note M. Robert-Meunier.

«Elle partage nos préoccupations à l’effet que le tramway doit se connecter au TGV, note M. Robert-Meunier. Ça démontre qu’elle comprend bien la dynamique qui nous concerne. On était content qu’elle le soulève. Elle sera capable de faire de cet enjeu un élément central de ses discussions avec le fédéral et tous les partenaires réunis autour du projet de tramway. C’est une alliée et elle sera capable de porter elle aussi ce message régional.»

Les Sénateurs d’Ottawa attentifs

La décision du gouvernement du Québec, il y a deux semaines, de démanteler le bureau de projet du tramway, de lui retirer tout son financement, et de refiler le dossier à Mobilité Infra Québec continue de faire des vagues et de susciter beaucoup d’attention dans la région.

Les Sénateurs d’Ottawa qui doivent emménager dans un nouveau domicile sur les plaines LeBreton au cours des prochaines années deviendront éventuellement l’un des grands générateurs de déplacements dans le secteur. L’organisation précise d’ailleurs accorder une importance particulière aux enjeux de mobilité qui en résulteront pour les deux centres-villes.

«Les questions relatives au transport et à la mobilité joueront un rôle très important pendant la phase de conception du projet de développement du centre-ville, qui comprendra de nouveaux logements, des bureaux, des commerces et un grand centre événementiel, affirme dans une réponse écrite le vice-président aux opérations d’affaires des Sénateurs d’Ottawa, Chris Phillips. Nous portons un vif intérêt à tous les grands projets de transport, tant à Gatineau qu’à Ottawa, et c’est pourquoi nous menons une étude d’impact sur les transports. Notre objectif ultime est de garantir à tous nos invités des déplacements efficaces et agréables.»

Onde de choc

Pour sa part, Action climat Outaouais parle d’une «véritable onde de choc» depuis l’annonce du retrait du financement du tramway, à laquelle s’est ajoutée, jeudi dernier, la sortie de la Société de transport de l’Outaouais (STO) qui a indiqué qu’elle se voyait retirer les sommes suffisantes pour prolonger le Rapibus jusqu’au boulevard de l’Aéroport et faire l’achat de 20 autobus électriques.

«Déjà confrontée à un sous-financement chronique du transport en commun, la Ville voit maintenant compromis à long terme le développement de ses infrastructures de mobilité structurante et sa capacité à atteindre ses objectifs de décarbonation, dénonce Action climat Outaouais. Cela s’inscrit dans un contexte de recul généralisé des engagements en matière d’environnement et de climat.»

«On a été en mesure de diminuer les émissions de gaz à effet de serre dans la plupart des postes d’émissions à Gatineau, sauf dans les transports, parce que l’étalement urbain et l’utilisation de l’auto solo se poursuivent, indique Mathieu Charron, chercheur en mobilité durable à l’Université du Québec en Outaouais et membre du conseil d’administration d’Action climat Outaouais. Le tramway permettait un transfert modal de l’automobile vers le transport en commun, mais aussi de développer des milieux de vie complets autour des gares.»

I’m actually looking forward to having the new Mobilite Infra Quebec take control of the Gatineau Tram project, Maybe it will get a redesign to be a more sensible proposition.

In my opinion, the current design is bus routes – but done with much more expensive trams. This is especially true of the north branch – which I don’t believe needs to be a tram as the majority of buses in that area are run during peak-periods only.

For the south branch, I get that they want to go up Wilfred-Lavignre because it is wide and would allow for a segregated route, but it also misses a lot of people. If the line is truly supposed to reinforce well-developed transit routes, as the literature states, then it should try to stick closer to the # 800 route. Even at that, though, I would suggest that it just follow dedicated lanes on Eardley up from Principale. This routing allows for reasonable walking distance from both sides of the tram line. A ‘rapid’ transit route should not weave around into every neighbourhood. And if it is not ‘rapid’ (and reliable), it is not going to get riders.

The Plateau area roads are too loopy/swoopy to be useful for any kind of ‘rapid’ transit. I don’t even think that the dog would be interested in it for breakfast. At best, there could be a Rapibus line from a new terminus station at the rainwater retention pond west of AGORA, east along the 148, with a station at Grives – which should be connected to Louise-Campagna, a stop at Labelle, on to the Montcalm transfer station, and then, perhaps on to Ottawa or loop around, following existing Rapibus routing.

Yeah, I've never understood the rationale for the route choices from a transit perspective; they were obviously political ones. And if Gatineau were serious about housing (which it isn't), a route that more closely follows the historical electric railway route, through parts of the city that are more amenable to re-development, would be a better policy choice on multiple fronts than a route through a new suburb where redevelopment isn't happening soon, and would be fought even harder than it would be in old Aylmer or other such areas.

To be clear, the tramway was only transferred to Mobilité Infra Quebec as a way to justify removing support from the tramway to make it seem like it's not dead. It is however, certainly dead. Just like the imaginary hospital, they are just dragging it to pretend like they are doing something for the Outaouais without actually doing anything for the Outaouais.

The Plateau is mostly served by rush hour routes not because of lack of demand, but lack of funding and will to improve things. If a frequent all day bus route existed, then people might use it. Plateau has the density now to support a tram that could be well used to get to places within Plateau. The loopy-ness is unfortunate, but Boulevard du Plateau is the only good option for placing the tram, otherwise it's Allumetière which is far removed from the population centre and would mostly only be used for commuting.

As for the Aylmer route, it's not my first choice. I'd probably end it at Galleries d'Aylmer.

Plateau is by far the densest part of Gatineau outside l'Île de Hull and continues to densify quickly. In Aylmer, the Galleries d'Aylmer area has the best potential for TOD. The east of Gatineau already has the Rapibus and should be sustainable for decades still. Where else would you put the tramway?

The Plateau isn't "densifying"; older existing stock and fabric isn't being replaced or repurposed.

In Aylmer, old Aylmer has the best potential for denser redevelopment, and that would be best supported by the Eardley routing.

Plateau is getting denser with new development. Population is growing. An area can densify without redeveloping existing housing.

I can agree with the Eardley routing. It's also a more logical route with reduced turns.
