The problems with building thousands of houses in the Ottawa suburb of Orléans — a plan based on a long-promised bus rapid transit line that has never materialized — came home to roost at transportation committee Wednesday, as residents pushed for a corridor across federal Greenbelt lands to ease gridlock.
Committee members ultimately voted seven to four to approve the City of Ottawa's preferred route for a $178-million future bus Transitway and $128-million extension to Brian Coburn Boulevard.
