CTVNewsOttawa.ca looks at five stories to watch in Ottawa this week.
OC Transpo held a news conference at 4 p.m. to provide an update on the ongoing LRT shutdown, which will now extend beyond Monday.
OC Transpo is delaying the return of O-Train service for at least 10 days to allow Rideau Transit Group to complete "additional track infrastructure work" to ensure the train's wheels do not contact the restraining rails located along the tracks.
The O-Train return-to-service on Monday morning is dependent on OC Transpo reaching three milestones, including analyzing the final report from the French manufacturer on the inspection and investigation into the problem wheel hub.
Ottawa's light-rail transit system will remain out of service for at least another week, as the investigation continues into a bearing-related issue on one train.
