The City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) sets out how the city will plan, develop, operate its walking, cycling, transit and road networks over the next few decades. It’s meant to reflect the City’s new Official Plan (2022)< by accommodating population growth to 2046, and supporting a shift to sustainable transportation modes (walking, cycling, transit).
There are many much-needed projects for Stittsville included in the updated Transportation Master Plan that was approved in July 2025 and we often get questions from residents when these projects will be built. The timelines are quite broad, and we are pressing to have all of these projects completed as soon as possible.
I asked City staff to put together a map that shows all of the Stittsville projects in the TMP. You can click on the map or the legend to enlarge, and we’ve included descriptions of each project below.
Road projects
Carp Road widening (major work starting in 2026)
Carp Road South widening from two to four lanes between Highway 417 and Hazeldean Road, plus an upgrade of the Carp-Hazeldean intersection. Preliminary construction work is already underway, and residents will see more intensive work later in 2026. Phase 1 will include an upgrade of the Carp-Hazeldean intersection, with safety and accessibility improvements for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. Phase 2 will include road widening, sidewalks, and multi-use pathways from Hazeldean to the Queensway. More info…
Robert Grant Avenue extension (within 5 to 7 years)
New two-lane road between Palladium Drive and Hazeldean Road. This project will include sidewalks and cycling tracks.
Stittsville Main Street extension (within 5 years)
New north-south collector road between Maple Grove Road and Derreen Avenue, connecting Jackson Trails to the Connections community. More info…
Fernbank Road urbanization (within 10 years)
Build new active transportation facilities on both sides and improve connection to the existing pathway on the south side of Fernbank Road from West Ridge Drive to Shea Road. Functional design work has started.
Shea Road urbanization (within10 years)
Build new sidewalks and cycle tracks on both sides of Shea Road from Abbott Street to the northern edge of the Stittsville South W4 future community. This will enhance safety and improve connectivity to current and future developments. Functional design work has started.
Maple Grove Road urbanization (within 10 years)
Build new sidewalks, cycle tracks and boulevards on both sides of Maple Grove Road from east of Huntmar Road to Terry Fox Drive.
Stittsville Main Street improvements (within 10 years)
Hazeldean Road to Bobcat Way (implementing the Stittsville Main Street Public Realm Plan). Includes new sidewalks and cycle tracks along the corridor where feasible, and safety and accessibility improvements at the intersections.
Hazeldean Road urbanization (beyond 10 years)
Build new pedestrian and cycling facilities on the south side of Hazeldean Road from Carp Road to West Ridge Drive and upgrade the existing active transportation facilities on the north side.
Huntmar Road widening (beyond 10 years)
Widen from two lanes to four between Maple Grove Road and Campeau Drive. (The Province of Ontario is expected to fund the widening over Highway 417, which would include pedestrian and cycling access.)
Pedestrian projects
- Johnwoods Street pathway between Alon Street and Rosehill Avenue (completed 2026)
- Hobin Street sidewalk from Carp Road to Crossing Bridge Park – first phase (we are holding an open house on April 30 for residents to review the design and provide feedback)
- Sidewalk along West Ridge Drive from Sable Run Drive to Alfred McCoy Park (likely 2026-2027)
Cycling projects
- Multi-use pathway connections along Terry Fox Drive from Westphalian Ave to Condado Cres (completed 2026)
- Bike lanes where feasible on West Ridge Drive from Beverly St to Stittsville Main St. (likely 2026-2027)
- Multi-use pathway connection from Echowoods Park to Feedmill Creek Recreational Trail (timing to be determined)
- Feasibility study of a Hwy 417 underpass to extend the Carp River pathway system from Frank Nighbor Place to Roger Neilson Way (timing to be determined)
- Multi-use pathway from Terry Fox Dr to Hazeldean Rd along the Carp River (timing to be determined – likely concurrent with Regional Group’s development on the Kevin Haime driving range land)
- Cycling connection across Stittsville Main St for the Trans Canada Trail and other improved connections to the Trans Canada Trail (timing to be determined)
Transit
Stage 3 O-Train Extension (Moodie to Hazeldean Station)
Construction depends on funding by the Federal and Provincial governments. Elected representatives from both levels have said that they support this project. Here’s a video from Rail Fans Canada showing where Stage 3 would run, along with the locations of Palladium, Maple Grove, and Hazeldean stations in Stittsville.
Transit priority measures
Various projects are planned for Hazeldean Road, Stittsville Main Street, and Fernbank Road.
