Save Our Greenspace

Ottawa Communities Fighting to Preserve Our Greenspace / Updates on the LRT Project

Ottawa LRT Leader rebuffed

Over at Ottawa LRT there's a document posted that totally pulls apart a memo by Réjean Chartrand, telling councillors that disaster will strike the city if it doesn't approve the LRT Project.

Also take a look at the Ridership Analysis, which shows a mere 1090 net new (peak-hour) riders will bestow the new LRT system. This is HARDLY A DENT in the the 67000 new riders needed to achieve the city's 30% modal split goal. I'd expect more BANG for my tax dollar, for a $1Billion system.

Chartrand has bent the truth and outright lied to council (methinks intentionally) regarding the content of this study in order to get the project approved for the Mayor.
