Area (DCA), model,\u201d observed FoTenn Planning + Design partner Miguel Tremblay. \u201cIt won\u2019t happen overnight, but I see the gap closing and witness more synergy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Projects that straddle provincial lines have already started to bridge the two cities together, he said. Transit coordination could further revolutionize the relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThanks to the new light rail (LRT) network, Ottawa and Gatineau are talking to one another about integrating interprovincial transit,\u201d Tremblay said, akin to the DCA Metro subway system, which links Maryland, District of Columbia and Virginia suburbs seamless in a single mass-transit network. \u201cOttawa\u2019s environment-friendly, transit-oriented development plan contains provisions that could eventually enable integration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The LRT has already prompted a development boom in proximity to the new line, as well as along its feeder arteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStreets once characterized by low-rise residential or single-storey retail will now witness buildings up to 24 storeys because they are located on transit priority corridors,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tremblay is optimistic that newfound openness to integration could enable Quebec\u2019s fourth-largest city to gain from the same economic drivers as Ottawa has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBoth Ottawa and Gatineau mayors now sit on the National Capital Commission (NCC) board as non-voting members,\u201d Tremblay noted. \u201cThe LRT success led the cities to explore interprovincial transit links.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investors need to understand that Gatineau\u2019s processes are very different from Ottawa\u2019s, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cApprovals take longer and are less predictable,\u201d he underscored. \u201cOttawa is about transit and heritage. In Gatineau, the environment looms large. Planning committees meet in camera and you have to be prepared to be prepared to work in French there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTheir geographic juxtaposition of both city cores across the river is a best-case scenario,\u201d Tremblay concluded. \u201cThere is already extensive interplay. People live in one city and work in the other. Barriers are dropping quickly. We\u2019re starting to see overlap between developers, the community, tenants and residents. Some of that is the market. Some of it is employment. Mass transit will add more to that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGatineau\u2019s apartment market is really healthy, he added. \u201cMore and more people are coming from Ontario to rent there for its affordability and proximity. If you work downtown, you\u2019ll be better off. If you rent in some Ottawa suburbs, you could be in store for a two-hour bus ride. The potential is tremendous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/newscoverage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Miguel-Tremblay_BW_feature-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newscoverage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Miguel-Tremblay_BW_feature-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/newscoverage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Miguel-Tremblay_BW_feature-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/newscoverage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Miguel-Tremblay_BW_feature-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/newscoverage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Miguel-Tremblay_BW_feature-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/newscoverage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Miguel-Tremblay_BW_feature-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/newscoverage.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Miguel-Tremblay_BW_feature.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThe LRT success has led the cities to talk to one another about interprovincial transit links and how to deal with buses.\u201d \u2022 Miguel Tremblay By Robert Frank www.realestateforums.com Ottawa and Gatineau are drawing closer to one another daily. \u201cWe\u2019re starting to see the two cities move toward the Washington, D.C.
