Yes, it will be interesting. I wonder if he will keep the tunnel DT. What his consultant told though, was what I had put in the Ottawa Transit section for metro on Carling, basically you keep Carling at grade, but you put stations UNDER the intersections, so no need for streetcar-speed, at a much much lower cost.

OMG, that's what I wanted! LOL, O-Train set up, plus LRT elsewhere. This is a MUCH MUCH better plan. It's equalized, no BRT extensions.
