The two-month-old Hydro Ottawa strike is interfering with work on the Trillium rail line to Ottawa's south end as two stations lack permanent power connections.
City staff are still hoping the line will be ready by the end of the year, but with no power at Dow's Lake and South Keys stations, they will have to rely on a "very large generator" as they get them ready for the public.
Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper called it "the one concerning thing" he heard during Tuesday's LRT sub-committee meeting, which outlined progress on the Trillium Line as well as the east and west extensions of the Confederation Line.Morgan said that work is being powered separately and is not affected by the strike.
"It takes a lot of work to set these up, lots of money invested, and it would be far better off to get the permanent install done right away."Hall sees some reason for optimism as the parties negotiate under non-binding mediation. He said each side made two offers in a meeting last week.
