The commissioner leading the public inquiry into Ottawa s light rail transit system has received a three-month extension to finish the final report, pushing the deadline beyond the Oct. 24 municipal election.
The city's general manager of transit services says some trains are expected to return to the western part of the Confederation Line tomorrow, but repairs to damaged overhead wires could take days.
Former OC Transpo general manager John Manconi faced intense questioning as he testified at a public hearing in the Ottawa Light Rail Transit Commission.
The first day of public hearings in the inquiry into Ottawa’s trouble-plagued LRT system heard testimony that there was pressure from the mayor and council to have the system launched as quickly as possible.
