The Ottawa urban core has been in a slow rebirth for decades, but that rebirth has been hampered by outdated zoning and poorly-designed public transit (our system was designed when traffic flowed very differently). The big issue with this article is the talk of funding - not sure where that is expected to come from, but it certainly won't come from the Conservatives currently at the federal helm!
