HELLO OTTAWA
The City’s Transportation Committee will have a special meeting tomorrow morning at 9 am to talk about purchasing 350 new electric buses.
In the past, this would have be a done deal: City staff said buy ’em, and councillors would have rubber stamped it.
Now in a post-LRT inquiry world, which recommended that council ‘exercise meaningful oversight of critical decisions made by city staff’, some discussion is happening.
The public can watch in person in the Champlain Room, City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West or watch it at home on YouTube or the City’s website..
