Terry Fox Drive (From Palladium Drive to 330 M West of Campeau Drive) Planned Restoration 2017: Terry Fox Drive (From Palladium Drive to 330 m West of Campeau Drive) COMPLETE STREETS OPPORTUNITY FOR ACTION Terry Fox Drive: 1.5 km Restoration Terry Fox Drive: Restoration Overview • Terry Fox Drive (From Palladium Drive to 330 m West of Campeau Drive = 1.3 km) • 2017 Scope of Work: Road resurfacing/renewal • Ward: Kanata South (23) and Kanata North (4) • Budget: Unknown Ecology Ottawa has conducted an initial analysis regarding the City of Ottawa’s planned construction of this street. Keep in mind that no site visit has taken place. The following are potential issues and/or opportunities for change based on preliminary research. We welcome your feedback. Feel free to contact us at: [email protected] Terry Fox Drive Street View (taken October, 2015) Note: No crosswalk for pedestrians at on-ramp Terry Fox Drive Street View (taken Oct, 2015) Note: Busy intersection Complete Streets The City of Ottawa adopted the Complete Streets Implementation Framework on October 14, 2015. Now is the time to act on a community level to make a real impact in your neighbourhood. Use street restorations as an opportunity to implement Complete Streets principles in your area. Encourage a friendly discussion between local residents, community associations, and City Councillors to assess the needs of your street. What Complete Streets do: • Encourage walking and cycling • Enhance road safety • Provide children with safe walking and bicycling routes • Allow people to travel in a variety of ways safely (bike, walk, drive, bus) What is a Complete Street? More info: www.ecologyottawa.ca/complete-streets/ A street that is designed to provide safe and comfortable access for people of all ages, gender, Contact us at: abilities, and modes of travel – including pedestrians, [email protected] cyclists, transit users and motorists. Initial Analysis of Terry Fox Drive Today, Terry Fox Drive appears to be incomplete: • There are no bike lane connections between Campeau Drive and the off-ramp North of 417 Note: This analysis has been made without a site visit Additional notes: • The City is resurfacing 1.3 km of the road in 2017 • Speed Limit: 70 km/h • There are no bike lane connections between Campeau Drive and the off-ramp North of 417 (see picture showing bike lanes in red, from www.maps.ottawa.ca/geoottawa) • OC Transpo bus 404 runs through the street – People need to be able to get to and from the bus stops safely • The road is located near residential areas, Kanata Centrum, OC Transitway Terry Fox Station, and there are three schools nearby • The planned restoration gives us an opportunity to request improvements to the street • As of today, no public notification of the planned project has been given by the City What Can You Do? Opportunity for Community Action Planned restoration of a street is a major opportunity for residents to come together and build support around how to complete a street in your community. Contact your City Councillor to find out more information about the road restoration and ask questions about how the Complete Streets Framework will be taken into account during road redesign. Ward 23: Kanata South - Councillor: Allan Hubley Ward 4: Kanata North - Councillor: Marianne Wilkinson.

    Network Optimization Final Recommendations Media Briefing April 13, 2011 1 Setting the Stage • On March 23rd we released a draft network optimization proposal designed to achieve $19.5M in annual savings for public input • The public consultation process gave us the valuable customer feedback that has helped us come back with a refined system proposal that better serves the needs of our customers • As a result, over 2/3 of the draft proposal was improved based on this feedback • These recommendations address key issues that were raised during the consultation period while still allowing us to achieve the designated savings of $19.5M annually through network optimization 2 Budget Context • Council approved 2011 Budget, which directed Transit Services to achieve $22M in annualized savings • The 2011 Budget includes free service to seniors Mondays and Fridays from noon onward, continuation of free Wednesdays for seniors and of the U-Pass program, and freezes Community Pass rates at current prices • If network changes are not implemented, our public transit system will demand a property tax increase of at least 5% by 2016 – this represents an additional $145M tax pressure for residents • The 2011 Budget builds on $21M in previous efficiency savings achieved by OC Transpo since 2008 3 Budget Context • Total savings to be realized in 2011 - $7.3M.
