Hintonburg will want to be involved with Bayview station and the Carleton Students Association for Carleton station. The historical aspect of the stations will also have to be considered and there are people who will want to have input from that point of view. L. Dore will work with A.Adair to get this project going. Operator training is on schedule. Signalling is moving along well.
Trains are ready to run.
The Safety Management System involved an enormous effort because Transport Canada is being asked to approve the first single operator rail in North America. The project 'go live' date is August 19, 2001. The expansion team has reserved a corridor to accommodate light rail expansion to the airport. A meeting was held last fall with RMOC and options were looked at for bringing rail to the terminal building. A meeting held in February 2001 with the City of Ottawa suggested possible rail extensions would be to downtown, Hull or possibly Kanata and expansion to the airport would only come about when the Leitrim community was developed.
