This is a letter from a Bulldog Ottawa reader concerning western light rail and related issues.
I am a resident of Westboro and wish to comment on the view held in some quarters that this community suffers from NYMBYism and that for the general good of Ottawa, it should accept without further ado the latest LRT proposal through park land on the John A. Macdonald Parkway.
First, I would like to say that this community has a long history of cooperating for the common good. You may recall that this is one of the communities that was divided by a very deep and wide deep trench to provide for the Transitway several decades ago, all to the common good.
