We don't know when the work will be finished. We have heard some time in 2026 or 2027 maybe, but with additional work happening along RIchmond and Byron we fear these projects could go beyond 2028.
Reference to work on Richmond Road during 2025
The city of Ottawa is extending Line 1 from Tunney’s Pasture to Algonquin and introducing a new Line 3, linking Trim to Moodie.
if you have any concerns or questions about LRT2 email stage2@ottawa.ca

Ottawa Neighbourhood Watch Program
Click here for more information on the Ottawa Neighbourhood Watch Program
Neighbourhood Watch is a program to help neighbours watch out for neighbours. It aims to get citizens involved in discouraging and preventing crime at the local level. The ultimate success of Neighbourhood Watch depends largely on a commitment to cooperation between area residents and the police - and more importantly, between residents themselves.
Your neighbours know who you are, what type of car you drive, and may be the first to notice a suspicious person at your door or window. A police officer patrolling your community may not recognize a stranger in your yard - but your neighbour will.
By simply getting to know the neighbours around you, you'll be well positioned to recognize someone or something that's suspicious.
