I think this stretch from Tunney’s Pasture to Lincoln Fields will be the most TOD intensive in the entire line. The increase in property values will surpass the cost of the project, with future taxes paying for this extension faster than anywhere else. I’ve always thought that if the city had splurged on a fully-automated Metro from Lincoln Fields to Hurdman right at the start, we could have lived with BRT for the rest of the system for a good while. |
For sure. Quite impressive to see the TOD u/c and proposed along the west alignment. South along the original O-Train alignment as well.
Urban west Ottawa had a few clusters of towers along the river, but within a decade or two, we'll have a continuous (Vanier to Lincoln Fields) 13 kilometer skyline.
Speaking of the West alignment.
