Even as Ottawa city councillors voted Wednesday to approve a sweeping, expensive plan to extend light rail east, west and south by 2023, they were already contemplating the next stage and finally connecting the rail system to Gatineau in the north.
Councillors gave Mayor Jim Watson a mandate to start formal talks with his Gatineau counterpart in the hopes of speeding up plans to convert the old rail bridge over the Ottawa River to light rail.
"This is something that has been talked about for a couple of decades," said Watson.
