The National Capital Commission will allow out-of-service OC Transpo buses on
the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway on a trial basis, one of the ways the City of
Ottawa hopes to reduce the number of buses on Scott and Albert streets during
LRT construction. The NCC unanimously approved the trial in principle at a
Thursday meeting, saying they still need to work out a few details including how
the city will pay for $50,000 worth of pavement damage caused annually by adding
buses to the roads. via
