I'm wondering...could additional water-based transportation be in Ottawa's future? That could be either passenger ferries or vehicle ferries.

The problem with passenger ferries is that there isn't really a good place connected well by transit on both sides immediately available and new transit routes or stations would need to be built. In the downtown core, it might provide relief on the bridges, but would be only really useful for tourists unless a condo boom begins on the island of Hull. In theory, Kanata to Aylmer would be a great place for such (provide a connection that does not exist today) but there is no development on the Kanata shoreline (mostly DND territory).
