Mayor Jim Watson and Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird were set to meet
Thursday to discuss the city’s light rail plans. The meeting comes nearly a week
after the National Capital Commission threw a wrench in the city’s plans, saying
its directors believe the NCC-owned Rochester Field on Richmond Road in Westboro
is a better option for light rail than along the Ottawa River, unless the city
is prepared to dig a deep tunnel for the trains via
Watson to talk light rail with John Baird | Ottawa Citizen.
