Public transporation in Ottawa

I read the Ottawa Citizen every day. The city seems to be stumped when it comes to public transportation. The debates about light rail rage on but nothing is ever done.

Yet, there is never any debate when it comes to roads and highways. We seem to have an unlimited budget for that. Why is that? As of this writing, the 417 is under construction in the west end. It looks like they can add at least four more lanes if they wanted to. Why can't we put tracks down the middle (like Chicago does) while its under construction?

I guess Ottawa city politicians are too focused on trying to keep their jobs rather than doing something productive.
