Light rail could extended from Hurdman, along either the existing VIA rail corridor, or along the existing Transitway corridor, to enter the General Hospital complex.

There would be stations accessible from CHEO, The Ottawa Hospital (General Campus), and the Rehabilitation Centre.

This extension would be electric, and would extend the downtown eLRT line. The eLRT vehicles would be quiet, and would not disturb patients.

Service to the hospitals would be focused on shift changes, as well as providing all-day service for visitors and out-patients. The eLRT vehicles would be able to accomodate many physically challenged patients, accomodating patients in wheel chairs.

This extension would require additional eLRT vehicles to provide peak-hour service, and could provide service levels from one train per 15 minutes, up to one 600-person train every 3 minutes.

This extension could be done for less than $66M (9 minute service).
