Light Rail Transit directly into Hunt Club

Concept

What LRT would be most useful to me personally?

I would find it very useful if there were an elevated light-rail line along the hydro corridor crossing Uplands Drive just east of Rhapsody Lane. There could be two stations for Hunt Club, one at Uplands, and the other at Hunt Club Road. These are the reasons why:

• A station at that location connects the heart of Hunt Club to downtown Ottawa and possibly out towards the airport and beyond.
• The hydro corridor is within walking distance from my home, and possibly (with the two stations) from a majority of homes in Hunt Club.
• The hydro corridor is a channel that will not be used for housing and will remain otherwise underutilized.
• Why elevate the rail line? Because an elevated line will cross the Southern Corridor without disturbing or impacting the ecological diversity of that "still" green area.
• Elevated rail lines are quiet, certainly more so than vehicles along Uplands Drive.
