Ottawa – East West light rail route

E-Rail was invited by Ottawa City to assess the potential for land value capture on the proposed East West light rail route starting at Kanata West and ending in Tenth Line and Innes, routing through the city centre and connecting with the Bus Rapid transit station and other transport modes.

The E-Rail LVC method would have generated funds but ultimately the City chose to limit the route to run from Blair to Tunney’s Pasture still connecting all the major central locations. If the railyards to the east had been included, we estimated that the LVC programme could have raised well over $CAN 200m.
