CONSTRUCTION NOTICE: Rouncey sidewalk upgrades

The City of Ottawa will be improving sidewalk safety and accessibility on Rouncey Road, at the intersections of Tapadero and Westphalian.

Construction is expected to begin in November and be completed by the end of December 2025, contingent of the weather.

The work includes:

• Constructing a northern and southern pedestrian crossing completed with tactile walking surface indicators (TWSI) at the intersection of Rouncey Road and Tapadero Avenue.
• Constructing an east side and west side bus pad north of the intersection of Rouncey Road and Tapadero Avenue.
• Extending the curb and tightening the northeast corner at the intersection of Rouncey Road and Westphalian Avenue as well as implementing a new north pedestrian crossing completed with tactile walking surface indicators (TWSI) at both sides of the crossing.
• Diagrams of the plans are included below.

 

The City of Ottawa has retained the contractor, Ottawa Redline Construction Ltd., to complete the work.

Residents living near the construction areas will receive a written notification in their mailbox.

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. The City makes every effort to provide access through and around construction sites. If you require a disability-related accommodation, please contact the undersigned. Accessible formats and communication supports are available, upon request, at the following link: www.ottawa.ca/accessibleformat

Localized lane reductions and short duration pedestrian detours can be expected at the work locations.

The contractor will take every precaution to minimize interruptions but there may be some inconvenience during the course of the work, such as traffic delays, noise and dust. You may also feel vibrations due to heavy equipment operations. Vibrations from construction activities are quite common and rarely cause any problems. We would like to thank you for your patience and co-operation.

For construction activity hours of work, the City of Ottawa follows provincial requirements and the City’s Noise By-law (2017-255).

The City of Ottawa is committed to safety in and around project sites. The project team continues to work closely with the industry and to comply with recommendations provided by municipal, provincial and federal health officials, as well as the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development.
