| 03/01/07: Happy New Year and welcome to the new Ecoview website. The City of Ottawa saw many changes throughout 2006, including a new mayor and the cancellation of the "the Chiarelli North-South Light Rail Plan". We continue to work with the Friends of the O-Train (FOTO) and the community to get the O-Train back on track and revist plans for the OSP. |
