LRT to (hopefully) restart next week, with a permanent fix on the horizon
The city hopes to get trains rolling next week, and they may finally have a permanent fix, but it's going to take time...
Jul 24, 2023
Good afternoon!
Wanted to give you a quick update on what we heard this morning from the city. It’s a mix of cautiously good news, and not-so-great news.
We’re trying a new thing for members to give short breaking updates to the biggest stories in the city, so you can keep as up to date as possible with what’s going on with the things that matter most.
So let’s get right to it!

What happened: The city announced today it hoped to start running trains on Line 1 starting next week, if inspections progress. And the city may have a permanent fix, but it’s going to take at least a year to get that process started.
Together, let's build Canadian-owned, local journalism in Ottawa
Local news in Canada is struggling to survive. But here at the Lookout, our small team is on a mission to expand our neighbourhood journalism across all of Ottawa. And it’s working.
Unlike almost every other publication in Ottawa, we’re reader-funded. That means we rely on readers like you to pay our journalists and fund the stories you read.
It means we don’t need to chase clickbait stories, but long-form, in-depth local stories you can’t find anywhere else.
To do all this, we need your help. Consider becoming a member today to fund our journalists and help us build the future of local journalism in Ottawa, one that’s powered by locals.
Together, we can rebuild local neighbourhood news in Ottawa.
