Funding is officially on the table to construct an underpass at the rail crossing at Waverley and Taylor.
Ottawa and the province are putting $92 million into the project.
The city will pick up the rest of the tab.
A news release said the estimated costs of the underpass is now $155 million.
The federal government is making several funding announcements across the country as it gears up for an election call.
Mayor Brian Bowman could not put a timeframe Thursday on when the underpass will open.
Not everyone was happy about the underpass announcement on Thursday. A local resident showed up with an air horn and unsuccessfully attempted to railroad the event.
