Kitchisippi Coun. Jeff Leiper found it galling that the city — not its contractor Rideau Transit Group (RTG) — will have to foot the bill for that project.
"Why are they not installing the heat tracing at their own expense?" he asked. "Why are we not able to compel them to?"

That's a good point. If the Line gets shut down for the same reasons over and over again, it should be on RTG to fix it.

Capital ward Coun. Shawn Menard, who moved the successful motion, said the September weekend will coincide with celebrations for Ottawa’s 200th birthday.

What celebrations? Nothing special is actually going on.
Having a free weekend for the opening of O-Trin East is good, and not just as a compensation. The Sept. 26-27 weekend though seems kind of random.
I maintain that weekend transit should be half price to better compete with cheap Downtown weekend parking.
