Council Votes 19-4 in Favour of Transit Plan for Ottawa
After months of public consultations, on-line consultations from thousands of residents and endless debates at Committee and Council, we finally made the right decision and approved a transit plan that will literally transform the face of our City.
I would like to say a special thank you to Transit Committee Chair Councillor Alex Cullen, Transportation Committee Chair Councillor Maria McRae for their hard work to establish a transit vision for our City. Thank you to all of my Council colleagues for their hard work over the last 18 months and to City staff for their support. And a special thank you to the citizens of Ottawa who participated in the public consultation process and continue to stay involved.
