あらすじ・解説
Gatineau is the 4th largest city by population in the Province of Quebec and borders Canada's capital, Ottawa in Ontario. A significant portion of the population, over 60,000 crosses the interprovincial bridges every day to travel between their place of work and their home. With the population and development quickly growing in both Aylmer and the Plateau, a more sustainable and higher capacity transit option is needed to continue to properly serve the West of Gatineau. A tramway was determined to be the best option for its increased capacity over buses and bus rapid transit, as well as the lower environmental impact it would bring in our battle against climate change. The tramway would cross into Ottawa and arrive in proximity to the existing Ottawa O-Train Line 1, thereby facilitating transfers and allowing easy access for passengers whom have a destination outside of the downtown core. In this video with Patrick Robert-Meunier of MOBI-O (Centre de gestion des déplacements de Gatineau), we discuss the Tramway project, where it will go, how it will enter Ottawa, the changes it will bring to the region and the current status of the project.
