Sustainable Solutions looks for a better solution
Sustainable Solutions includes over a dozen community associations and other citizen’s groups in Ontario and Quebec. They have found common ground in a belief that the focus of the study to date has been dominated by the need to build more capacity for projected future peak period auto travel between Gatineau and Ottawa instead of solving the immediate and long running problem of 2500 heavy trucks per day travelling through downtown Ottawa streets. Their position is that this is unacceptable and a better solution must be found.
