The $32-million makeover planned for Slater and Albert streets after Ottawa's Confederation Line is up and running calls for an east-west bikeway through the downtown, leaves room for fewer parking spots, and gives more space to pedestrians but less to cars. But once LRT is running through the downtown tunnel by the end of this year, it will replace many of those OC Transpo buses. Gatineau's STO buses that currently use Wellington Street will be rerouted to Slater and Albert. The number of parking spots along the route will decrease by about 190, but those that remain will be available for use all the time. Many OC Transpo bus routes that currently use Slater and Albert streets will be rerouted.
