The North/South O-train line could be extended from Confederation station, along the CN right of way to Kanata.
This is a long extension, and would have stations in Kanata (March Rd), at Richardson Side Rd, possible station serving Nortel/Carling, the Queensway Carleton Hospital/Bells Corners, as well as stations at Woodroffe, Merivale and Colonnade.
A person boarding at Kanata would have 25 minute service to Bayview, with transfers to the downtown eLRT, or possible extension to Gatineau.
This extension would be done with diesel LRT vehicles.
This extension has not yet been detailed priced, but may be possible for less than $75M.
With the addition of the Walkley/Billings extension, a train could travel from Kanata to Hurdman rather than to Bayview. This would be done when the capacity of the Dows Lake Tunnel was exceeded. Such an extension might provide for 1-transfer service between Orleans and Kanata, avoiding downtown.
