Ottawa – North – South LRT

The Priority Project North-South LRT line assumed 12 stations and an electrified double track from the Rideau Centre to Riverside South including a connection to the Airport.

Our appointment was to report on the land value capture opportunities if the Bus transit way was to be replaced with a tram linked with the existing O train. Fixed track would enable further development to take place along the route and increase capacity.  The funds we expected to raise would have been much higher but property values at the time of this study were depressed and we calculated we could only raise about 10% of the cost.
