Mayor Jim Watson and Premier Doug Ford discussed light rail and photo radar, among other things.

Ottawa's mayor and the Premier of Ontario struck an agreeable, collaborative note, in a one-on-one meeting.

The pair met downtown, at the Shaw Centre on Friday morning, to discuss topics that included light rail transit and photo radar regulations in Ottawa.

"Because we have a bilingual [photo radar] sign, were not able to fit them in most urban streets, and the premier undertook to look into that to see how we could get more of a made-in-Ottawa solution," said Mayor Jim Watson. "We want to have the bilingual signs but we want to make sure that all neighbourhoods are protected."

During a question about reducing Ontario's greenhouse gas emissions, the premier expressed support for the O-Train and the idea of a third phase for the project.

"If we can get more public transit, that gets people out of their cars, and we look forward to getting the whole transit system -- phase one, phase two, phase three -- up and going here in Ottawa," said Premier Doug Ford.

The premier also expressed his confidence in the mayor and the city working out the reliability issues on the current phase of the Confederation Line.

"I have all the faith in the world in the mayor, that those little tweaks will be taken care of," said Ford.
