Whether or not a sinkhole is to blame, the Confederation Line won’t be ready by the date in the contract with Rideau Transit Group.

Another megaproject was the proposed central library. Council picked a location at Lebreton Flats that raised the ire of some area councillors — including Somerset Coun. Catherine McKenney and Rideau-Rockcliffe Coun. Tobi Nussbaum.

“The Centretown neighbourhood is among the densest in all of Ottawa; more than 23,000 people live within a kilometre of the current site at Laurier and Metcalfe,” McKenney wrote in the co-authored letter to residents. “How that population can be served by a new location within walking distance will therefore be an important criterion.”
