@Centretowner Great post, thank you!

@kevinbowrin It's a bit of a detour from Wellington Street itself, but the history of the Portage Bridge is poorly documented so I thought I'd spend some time on it. Glad you liked it!

@Centretowner neat. This old planned bridge is what I think they should build for LRT and leave the old trestle bridge to peds/bikes. Could connect to downtown hull and should be able to go right downtown ottawa without a transfer. Parliament to museum of civilization
