Councillors have been told in a slide presentation on Stage 2 construction on late Tuesday afternoon that OC Transpo is giving themselves a wider timeline than had been previously announced with an opening day potentially being in September.

Construction for the Trillium Line was originally scheduled to be completed in August 2022, but was delayed until September 2023. On Sept. 29, Amilcar said that based on the progress to date, a fall launch was no longer possible and would be delayed again.

This could mean the Trillium Line would open a full two years behind schedule. This would be the third major delay.

Lest we forget:

SNC-Lavalin was awarded the $1.6-billion contract to extend Ottawa's north-south Trillium Line last March even though the team assembled to assess the bids reached a "unanimous consensus that the proposal should not be considered further in the evaluation process,"

...

SNC-Lavalin failed to meet the minimum technical score of 70 per cent that appeared to be required for a firm to continue in the competition, but still managed to win it.

I shouldn't be surprised, but somehow I am.

Conveniently moved past the period residents might want to use it during the summer vacation rush.
