EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In May 2018, Council directed staff to conduct a traffic study along Albion Road between Bank Street and Lester Road in response to the planned expansion of the Rideau Carleton Raceway. The study was intended to address community traffic concerns in the Emerald Woods – Sawmill Creek and Blossom Park communities that could be further exacerbated by growth in southern communities. The 2013 Transportation Master Plan (TMP) approved a number of major transportation projects intended to serve these growing communities which consist of: the extension of the O- Train Line 2 (Trillium Line); the widening of the Airport Parkway; and the widening of Bank Street.

  • Complete Streets Strategy Report
    COMPLETE STREETS STRATEGY REPORT DRAFT FOR COMMENT Please send comments to: [email protected] Last updated: May 28 2014 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Over 60 active transportation advocates, organizations, and community leaders from all across the Nation’s Capital took part in Ecology Ottawa’s Complete Streets Strategy Forum held on March 28th, 2014. The one-day event featured a panel discussion from Councillors Egli, Chernushenko, Fleury, Holmes, and Wilkinson, followed by an interactive strategy session whereby participants discussed ways to help ensure that walking, cycling, and public transit would continue to be prioritized in the city. A Complete Street can be defined as a street that is “designed for all ages, abilities, and modes of travel. On Complete Streets, safe and comfortable access for pedestrians, bicycles, transit users and the mobility-impaired is not an afterthought, but an integral planning feature” (Complete Streets for Canada). The first half of this report provides a summary of the councillor’s panel discussion. All five councillors expressed what a Complete Street looked like in their respective wards, and the current challenges that they faced in moving towards their implementation. Key points that were highlighted throughout the two-hour conversation included the importance of creating a network of integrated and connected streets, as well as the need for communities to work together and to engage their city councillors on issues that mattered to them. The second part of this report is a working strategy that has been compiled from the feedback received from the participants at the Forum. The strategy has been broken down into four key opportunities where community organizing and engagement is needed in order to move the Complete Streets discussion from policy into action.

    ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF PROPOSED CAPITAL REGION RESOURCE RECOVERY CENTRE – VOLUME I 8.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE EXISTING ENVIRONMENT This section corresponds to Task 1 of the methodology described in Section 2.3 and provides a more detailed description of the components of the existing natural and human environments at and related to the Boundary Road Site. In general, the environment is first described in general at a regional scale and then it is described in greater detail for the two generic study areas that were used to assess the Boundary Road Site. As noted in Section 2.3, the EA study team modified the generic study areas as appropriate to meet the specific requirements of each environmental component. Section 8.1 provides a regional overview of the Site to provide context for the assessment. Sections 8.2 and 8.3 provide an overview of the Site-vicinity and on-Site study areas, respectively. The existing conditions for each of the environmental components are then described in Sections 8.4 to 8.11. 8.1 Regional Overview The general location of the proposed CRRRC Site is shown on Figure 8.1-1. The Site is located within the City of Ottawa, in the rural portion of Cumberland ward. The City of Ottawa, with a population of 883,391 in 2011 according to Statistics Canada, represents 6.9% of the population of the Province. The estimated population of the ward of Cumberland is 44,400, including 16,300 households (City of Ottawa, 2013a). This represents 4.7% of the total population of the City of Ottawa and 4.2% of households.
