Ottawa Rapid Transit Network developments

[lrt's friend]

I would like to know how much it would cost to build that 7.9km Transitway as LRT. It sounds like the cost of that one Transitway is getting up towards the cost of all the Transitways built inside the Greenbelt.

I look at the east end map and how close 2 rapid transit routes are going to be and then we have that orphan spur going to the hospital.

With all the money we are planning to blow on expensive options everywhere else, why are we not building a very shallow cut and cover tunnel next to the Browning problem and do things properly? But hey, why would Ottawa want to do anything properly?

Also, by the time we build the Scotiabank Place Transitway, it will be time to build a new NHL arena and it will be somewhere else. Even if its at the opposite end of the parking lot, what will happen to the Transitway design and cost?
