City of Ottawa down to two options on Light Rail extension, and Byron is one of them!

The City of Ottawa has been talking about a WESTERN CORRIDOR of their light rail plan for years, and Byron Avenue has always been thrown around as a possibility.
Now that possibility is nearly a probability, after the National Capital Commission (NCC) nixed the city's request for light rail on the OTTAWA RIVER PARKWAY.
See the CBC's story here on the NCC's rejection

This leaves only Byron Avenue and Carling Avenue as options for the western part of the light rail project.

The "Save the Parkway" people have had their say, it's time for the residents of McKellar Park and other areas around Byron Avenue to be heard. To date, there has been no organized group specifically arguing against Byron Avenue as an option.
