I have a friend who lives in Manor Park and he feels this part of town (including New Eimburgh and Vanier North) has been forgotten in the rapid transit visions presented so far.

First, is it true?

Yes it is, this part of the city has one of the worst transit-availability/population-density ratio.

a Tram line on St. Laurent to link Manor Park to Line 1

I don't think that would ever be possible due to the car traffic on St-laurent and its relatively narrow size. In my opinion, the only way to get rapid transit north would be the cut and cover subway down Montreal Road (like my diagram). This would bring rapid transit close to Manor Park, and keep costs down due to the difficult geology in that area.

solve the isolation of New Edimburg, which, in the best case scenario

It would be very difficult to get a subway up there due to the low population density, historic landmarks, difficult geology but especially security concerns with all the high profile embassies around that area.

Baseline Transitway, perhaps a Stage 2 dream?

The idea is really kicking off, seems prominent people are getting interested https://clintondesveaux.medium.com/ottawa-community-leaders-support-bank-street-o-train-tunnel-f95a3116bb85

Any thoughts/comments on my most recent fantasy (still realist) transit map?

Hi @Antoine. Very interesting ideas in your latest map. As there has been some issue surrounding related topics recently, I would ask if you can re-post the map without the City of Ottawa logo appearing. Thank you for your understanding.
