Hour 2 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. April 10th, 2025
April 10, 2025
Public consultations kicked off this week for Phase 5 of the Transportation Master Plan. This phase identifies transit and road network projects that are needed to ‘accommodate planned growth’ and ‘achieve the city’s mobility objectives’. Well, at least until 2046, that is. And with Ottawa’s population expected to grow to 1.4 million over the next 21 years, Canada’s Capital is expected to see a spike in transit demand. We are talking an additional 1.2 million transit trips every single day, coupled with over 620,000 daily trips in vehicles. Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Beacon Hill-Cyrville councillor Tim Tierney, who serves as the Chair of Transportation and also sits on the city’s Transit Committee. Meantime, a simmering trade war between the United States and China is poised to hit Canadian consumers, particularly when it comes to electronics and other imported specialty goods. Here to explain further is Bill Chappell, the owner of The Hobby Centre in Ottawa.
