What Light Rail would look like on Byron:The City's options

The drawings and proposals for light rail on the Byron-Richmond corridor are not posted to the City of Ottawa's website pages on the western link, but they are publicly available on demand as part of a May 2011 assessment.
There is an artist's interpretation of what the different options would look like.

Some of what is interesting from the plans:
-Both above grade and underground options are included
-There appear to be options for stations at both Cleary and somewhere around Mansfield or Westminster.
