Light rail could be extended to the Terrasse de la Chaudiere.

This could be done with diesel LRT (using Bombardier Talent, or Siemens Desiro). This could also be done with electric LRT, extending the downtown system across the bridge into downtown Gatineau. The two options are not mutually exclusive.

Service from South Keys would have every second train travel across the Prince-of-Wales bridge (via Bayview station) to stop at Montcalm and Tache near Terrasse.

A station at the bus depot on Tache Blvd (at Terasse) would easily connect to 14 different STO routes that originate from West Hull and Aylmer. Many of these routes could be terminated there or at Portage, avoiding the congestion (and delays) that they experience while crossing the bridges to Ottawa. This would permit STO to run more frequent and reliable service in Gatineau.

For Ottawa based employees who work at Terrasse or Place du Portage (PWGSC, Heritage, many others) the LRT would provide a very efficient service. The use of the Prince of Wales bridge would significantly reduce bus congestion on Booth Street, Ridean Street, and King Edward Avenue.

This extension would require one additional diesel vehicle, some signal upgrades, and construction of stations. This extension and the Casino extension would cost $19M combined (for the diesel option) and could be operational in less than 1 year, provided the politicians were all willing.
