Ottawa Council votes in favour of carrying forward a second corridor, but…

January 14th, 2009 Posted in News and Commentary

This morning, Ottawa City Council voted 12-11 in favour of carrying a second corridor forward for further study. However, Jan Harder (who opposes us) was absent. Because of this, and in view of the closeness of the vote, our opponents at Council were able to pass a subsequent motion to reconsider the issue in two weeks at the next Council meeting.

This is a very positive development and should give us traction with both the province and NCC commissioners. However, we have work to do in the next two weeks.
