OTTAWA Train tracks are now being laid at the new maintenance and storage facility for Ottawa s new transit line from Bayview to Riverside South. Mayor Jim Watson, MP Chandra Arya and Ontario Minister of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Cultural Industries Lisa MacLeod were on hand to help start laying tracks at the new Walkley Yard Maintenance and Storage Facility. The start of the next stage of this project at the new Walkley Yard Maintenance and Storage Facility is an exciting milestone on the south extension of the Trillium Line, said MacLeod. This extension will bring rapid transit to new communities, and connect people to places, which allows more Ontarians to experience all that Ottawa has to offer.
