Twenty-four stations and a new dedicated bus lane have been approved in Canada's capital city.
A new transit corridor in Ottawa "would see 24 new stations built about 600 metres apart, and would eventually connect Heron Station near Billings Bridge to Bayshore Shopping Centre," reports Joanne Chianello for the CBC.
The project will include new construction on Baseline: "The proposal calls for bus lanes to run down the centre of the road, with two vehicle lanes on either side, as well as cycling lanes and sidewalks," Chianello writes.
