Studies and public consultation reports<\/h1>\n\n\n\n\n

Here, you will find the documents, studies and public consultation reports related to the Gatineau-Ottawa tram project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The information contained in these documents is to be considered in light of when it was generated. Certain elements will be reviewed in greater depth in collaboration with the project\u2019s technical teams. The contents of this page will be updated throughout the project planning period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

213-2017 opportunity study <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Together with its partners (minist\u00e8re des Transports et de la Mobilit\u00e9 durable (MTMD), National Capital Commission (NCC), City of Ottawa and Ville de Gatineau), the STO mandated the Roche Genivar consortium to prepare an opportunity study in order to review the prospect of a new reliable, efficient and appealing public transit system in Gatineau\u2019s west end. Three scenarios and their variants were reviewed at the time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Enhancing the existing bus system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Installing a dedicated axis along chemin d\u2019Aylmer \/ boulevard Alexandre-Tach\u00e9 with variants, including using chemin Lucerne behind Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec en Outaouais (UQO) or the Champlain Bridge to downtown Ottawa.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Installing a dedicated axis along boulevard des Allumeti\u00e8res with a variant involving the use of chemin McConnell and boulevard du Plateau.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The review of current and future needs made it clear that it would be necessary to invest in a dedicated, reliable and efficient public transit system in Gatineau\u2019s west end. Moreover, because the west end\u2019s configuration is not conducive to meeting the need through a single dedicated axis, a combination of dedicated measures along the Allumetti\u00e8res and Aylmer\/Tach\u00e9 axes would be required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The metropolitan context and the importance of transportation (home-work) require that any future public transit system be integrated with Ottawa\u2019s. Given the need to integrate the systems and the longer term vision for the development of the greater Gatineau-Ottawa metropolitan area, the option that warrants more extensive study is the tram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2018-2021 complementary study<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n

    The purpose of the complementary study was, among other things, to identify the optimal solution (mode and circuit) for meeting the transportation needs of residents in Gatineau\u2019s west end for the next 30 to 50 years in a context of population growth, road congestion and the importance of interprovincial exchanges. The solution needed to reflect current political commitments to the electrification of transportation, sustainable mobility and integrated planning of transportation and land use development, from a local and metropolitan point of view. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Announcement of the optimal solution for the dedicated public transit system – May 12, 2021<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The recommended mode and circuit based on this study were released in May 2021. The comparative analysis of the different scenarios under study finds that the optimal dedicated public transit technical solution for linking Gatineau\u2019s west end to the Gatineau and Ottawa downtowns is the all-tram scenario, with insertion in downtown Ottawa through a tunnel under Sparks Street or at grade on Wellington Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Final report – Conclusions and recommandations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The final report, tabled in 2021, is a summary of the key stages of the complementary study, and describes how the solution identified as optimal meets the study\u2019s main objectives. The proposed recommendations will help orient and expand on the next steps in the analysis, development, detailed engineering and implementation of this project, all of which are expected to extend over a ten-year period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As with all major long-term projects, the dedicated public transit project will continue to evolve and adjust as it develops. As a result, some of the information in this report is out of date, and will be reassessed in the upcoming pre-project phases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
