Transportation on Confederation Boulevard - Ottawa, Ontario - Artistically Decorated Utility Boxes on Waymarking.com

The trolley is stationary next to the Grey Nuns Mother House on Sussex Drive. It appears to be cold and cloudy outside. The man with the briefcase on the right is running to avoid being left behind while a woman further ahead is waiting to step inside. As for the horses, they are waiting patiently for the command to advance.

Transportation on Confederation Boulevard

Now a national ceremonial route, Sussex Drive hosted the City's first horse drawn tramline in 1870. In 1891, electric streetcars were welcomed as a sign of the city's progress.

Running a length of 7.5 kilometres, Confederation Boulevard forms a loop that connects both sides of the Ottawa River, linking Ontario and Quebec. It follows several symbolically important streets along federal lands and past national landmarks, and comprises three sections.
Central loop: Crosses the Ottawa River to encompass the downtown cores of Ottawa and Gatineau. Some of Canada’s most important institutions, heritage sites, monuments and festival plazas are here.

Northeastern section: Follows Sussex Drive, passing through the Capital’s international sector to Rideau Hall, the residence of Canada’s governor general.

Southern section: Provides a grand approach along Elgin Street to the National War Memorial.
