For transportation, it means building a connected network where walking, cycling, buses, rail and roads work together. Those investments need to align with where we are adding housing and increasing density, so people have practical ways to get around as their neighbourhoods grow. We should be clear about what each investment is meant to accomplish, over what timeframe, and how it fits into Ottawa’s longer-term plans.” (several paragraphs) Source: FCA Ottawa 2026 Candidate Survey on Infrastructure Priorities — Ward 14 · October 9, 2026 Confidence:High Nicholas Gollé commented: “• I ranked buses first because Ottawa needs transit that works for people now.
“• I ranked buses first because Ottawa needs transit that works for people now. Cycling is next because we’ve committed to building a network, and it gives people a real alternative to driving. I put flood prevention and sewers in my top three because they’re part of the city’s foundation • we can’t afford to let them fail. Goods movement matters too, especially when trucks cut through neighbourhoods. We need to maintain roads, bridges and accessible sidewalks, but I’m less interested in expanding roads. We’ve already invested heavily in rail. Let’s make that system work before paying to expand it again.” (several paragraphs) Source: FCA Ottawa 2026 Candidate Survey on Infrastructure Priorities — Ward 14 · October 9, 2026 Confidence:High Nicholas Gollé commented: “I’m open to studying it, but we need to be clear about what problem we’re trying to solve.

“• I ranked buses first because Ottawa needs transit that works for people now. Cycling is next because we’ve committed to building a network, and it gives people a real alternative to driving. I put flood prevention and sewers in my top three because they’re part of the city’s foundation • we can’t afford to let them fail. Goods movement matters too, especially when trucks cut through neighbourhoods. We need to maintain roads, bridges and accessible sidewalks, but I’m less interested in expanding roads. We’ve already invested heavily in rail. Let’s make that system work before paying to expand it again.”

I would start by reviewing the Province’s existing work, then compare the benefits, construction and maintenance costs, environmental impacts, and alternatives. We also need to understand whether it would encourage development that adds more infrastructure costs over time. Supporting a study does not mean committing to build it. The evidence should determine whether it moves forward.”
