I have been informed by the contractor, Taggart Construction, that these closures have now been delayed and will take place from August 14-28. The contractor will be installing a box culvert across the roadway for future storm water management. Notification signs will be posted in advance of the closure with additional signs posted during the affected period. Local and emergency vehicle access will be maintained. A detour will be signed from Shea>Abbott>Robert Grant. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Intermittent section closures at Carp Road Park and Ride Please note that the Carp Park & Ride upgrade work was originally scheduled to start August 8th has been moved forward to this Wednesday (August 2nd). Sections of the Park and Ride will be closed intermittently until early September 2017 weather dependent, due to upgrade work being done at the facility. The work will take place in stages during the daytime, and the facility will remain operational at reduced capacity throughout. The upgrades include surface paving, additional lighting, concrete repairs, a new bus pad and bike racks. Directional signage will guide pedestrians during sidewalk repairs. The upgraded paved surface of the site will hopefully allow for an improved customer experience, by eliminating mud and puddles while delineating accessibility and other spaces with pavement markings. The number of parking spots will also be increased, from approximately 115 spaces to approximately 150 spaces. Keeping You Informed Page 3 Many residents rely on this Park and Ride for service and the increased number of spaces will help to accommodate demand. For convenience in the meantime, users are encouraged to park at Canadian Tire Centre, Terry Fox or Eagleson Park and Rides. For more information on these please visit here - http://www.octranspo.com/routes/park_and_ride For more updates on the construction and road work activity happening across the city, or for information about traffic and travel planning, visit the City’s Traffic Report on ottawa.ca or follow the City’s traffic account on Twitter. SVA Movie Night I would like to take a moment to thank all residents for coming out to enjoy the Stittsville Village Association’s “Cinema Under the Stars” event on July 22nd. The event was lot of fun with a large turnout of families. With all of the excitement of the summer, it is always great to take part in community events organized for the community by the community. My office was thrilled to be one of the sponsors of the evening and look forward to potentially being a part of more movie nights in the future. I would like to thank the entire Stittsville Village Association, particularly Sarah Rozema-Seaton who took the lead on ensuring this event was a great success! For all of your hard work, thank you. Plan now to register for fall and winter recreation programs Start planning for an active autumn because the Recreation eGuide for City of Ottawa recreation programs is now available online at ottawa.ca. Choose from a wide variety of activities for all ages, including swimming lessons, fitness classes, general-interest courses, sports and instruction in the arts. Page 4 Keeping You Informed Registration for swimming and aquafitness classes begins online and by phone (613-580-2588) on Monday, August 14 at 9 p.m. and in person at City recreation facilities on Tuesday, August 15 during regular business hours. Registration for all other classes begins online and by phone (613-580-2588) on Wednesday, August 16 at 9 p.m. and in person at City recreation facilities on Thursday, August 17 during regular business hours. To register online or by phone you will require a client barcode and family PIN numbers. High volumes of online registrants are expected throughout the first week of registration, particularly the first evening, which could result in a longer registration experience than usual. Residents who do not have access to the Internet are encouraged to visit City recreation centres or libraries with public Internet access. They can also visit any Client Service Centre or where customer service staff can help with registration. Some community centres may provide printed brochures for their local activities. I highly encourage all interested residents to pursue available options and mark your calendars for registration dates! 9RunRun On October 14th, 2017, 9runrun will be hosting its 8th annual run and your help is requested! 9runrun is Ottawa’s very own run in support of local emergency services. It is a community event that supports mental health programs in our community such as Do It For Daron (DIFD), bringing together runners, walkers, volunteers and spectators through its partnership with the Ottawa Police, Paramedic and Fire Departments. Volunteers are needed to support traffic barricades along the race route, perhaps directly on your street. Successful barricade management helps to ensure runners are kept safe throughout their run and keeps traffic moving as needed. Keeping You Informed Page 5 Volunteering is a great way to take in the race, be involved in the community, cheer on your friends and neighbours, and for students to collect community service hours! Youth under 16 years old are welcome when accompanied by an adult. To date, the race has raised over $140, 000.00! I would like to encourage all residents to consider helping out with the race for this great cause. More information on specific road closures will be provided in my weekly newsletter in the upcoming weeks.

  • 1874862-2019-Trilliumconsultation-Submission
    29 March 2019 Dear Abdir, Re: RDIM- 1874862-2019-TrilliumConsultation-Submission Thank you for your inquiry regarding the O-Train Trillium Line, as part of the City of Ottawa’s Stage 2 Light Rail Transit (LRT) Project. We appreciate your feedback. As you are aware, the Stage 2 Trillium Line alignment will extend the existing passenger service line south from Greenboro Station to a new terminus at Limebank Station, in proximity to the Riverside South and Barrhaven communities. Previous feasibility and environmental assessment studies reviewed opportunities to extend the Trillium Line further west, however technical issues demonstrated that the planned Riverside South community would not be compatible with the existing Trillium Line diesel rail technology. In 2011, the City undertook the O-Train South Expansion Feasibility Study to investigate the possibility of an extension of the Trillium Line to Riverside South Town Centre. The study found that the extension of rapid transit service using the exiting diesel technology would require a larger infrastructure footprint due to the wider width of the vehicles and higher station platform height when compared to electric light rail, as well as grade separations throughout the alignment. The planned Riverside South community, with multiple at-grade roadway crossings, closely-spaced light rail stations, and semi-exclusive light rail operations in the median of the east-west spine street in the town center, would not have the necessary space to permit the rail extension. As noted in the City of Ottawa 2013 Transportation Master Plan, the City’s 2031 ultimate rapid transit and transit priority network includes twin-electric LRT from Bayview Station to Riverside South.
