Here is a search for Ottawa transit way pictures to give you an idea:

Basically it is like 7th avenue except drop the LRT. Only the buses & police/emerg. vehicles can use the transit way.
Regarding the map, I note that the NC and SE LRT's go through downtown on the East side, which might be the best compromise (though I recognize it is just a place holder). As East Village develops, there may be more and more employment hubs on that end, and there is the free service on 7th ave anyway.
I'm happy this version of the plan doesn't have a cross-town at Shawnessey. There is just too much sprawl in the South. A station at 210ave south - unbelievable!
What is that extra red blip on airport trail? Is that because they are still considering making the LRT connection all the way across from NE to NC? I sure hope so.
What is an HOV corridor as opposed to a transit way? Are they still considering a gondola for Foothills Hospital?
