The plan and design stem from an Environmental Assessment (EA) study and would see four travel lanes on Huntmar and two on the Stittsville Main Street extension. Both projects would be complete streets that connect communities and address forecasted travel demand to 2046. The design:

• Supports new bus routes and services, improves bus stop locations and amenities;
• Improves connectivity to the future Palladium LRT Station as well as to adjacent existing and planned residential developments, employment centres and commercial uses;
• Delivers new active transportation facilities such as segregated cycle tracks, wide sidewalks and multi-use pathways;
• Implements protected intersection design features;
• Provides new signalized intersections and roundabouts where appropriate, as well as accesses to connect to existing and proposed land uses;
• Provides barrier-free access for all users and implements accessibility design standards; and
• Improves road safety for all users and encourages transit-oriented development and regeneration;

Due to the existing need for a safe pedestrian and cycling crossing of Highway 417, the study included an optional stand-alone active transportation bridge which could be built in advance of the Huntmar Drive widening and associated new crossing of Highway 417.

The study also identified the need for a new collector road between the intersections of Stittsville Main/Derreen Avenue and Carp/Westbrook roads. A future study would determine the exact location of the road.

Huntmar Drive Widening (Campeau Drive to Maple Grove Road) and Stittsville Main Street Extension (Maple Grove Road to Robert Grant Avenue) Environmental Assessment (EA) Study

Virtual Public Information Session:
January 31, 6 pm to 8 pm
Online Public Consultation Period:
January 31 to February 23, 2023

Please register and/or view materials at:
Ottawa.ca/huntmardrivestittsvillemain

You are invited to participate in the final public consultation event for the Huntmar Drive Widening and Stittsville Main Street Extension EA study. This event will provide:

• Study objectives and design considerations
• Draft Recommended Plan
• Anticipated project impacts and mitigations
• Proposed phasing and implementation
• Next steps

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, contact the Project Manager.

The section of Huntmar Drive being studied for widening is between Campeau Drive and Maple Grove Road, which includes evaluating opportunities for the 417 overpass. The study is also exploring an active transportation bridge across the 417 for pedestrians and cyclists.

Stittsville Main Street will be extended from Maple Grove Road to the future Robert Grant Avenue roundabout south of Palladium.

These projects were identified in the 2013 Transportation Master Plan (TMP) to support future travel demand in the area, and the work plan for the Environmental Assessment study was approved by council in 2021. The TMP anticipated the implementation to start sometime in the 2026-2031 window.

Élargissement de la promenade Huntmar (de la promenade Campeau au chemin Maple Grove) et Prolongement de la rue Stittsville Main (du chemin Maple Grove à l’avenue Robert-Grant) – Étude d’évaluation environnementale (EE)

Séance d’information publique virtuelle
Le 31 janvier, de 18 h à 20 h
Période de consultation publique en ligne :
Du 31 janvier au 23 février 2023

Veuillez vous inscrire et consulter la documentation ici :

Vous êtes invités à participer à la dernière séance d’information publique sur l’étude d’évaluation environnementale du projet d’élargissement de la promenade Huntmar et de prolongement de la rue Stittsville Main. Lors de la séance, vous obtiendrez des détails sur les points suivants :

• Objectifs de l’étude et facteurs de conception
• Plan préliminaire recommandé
• Perturbations et répercussions prévues dans le cadre du projet
• Mise en oeuvre et étapes proposées
• Prochaines étapes

La Ville d’Ottawa accorde une grande importance à l’accessibilité. Si vous avez des besoins particuliers en matière d’accessibilité, communiquez avec la gestionnaire de projet.

Le tronçon de la promenade Huntmar dont l’élargissement est à l’étude se situe entre la promenade Campeau et le chemin Maple Grove, ce qui comprend l’évaluation des possibilités pour le passage supérieur de l’autoroute 417. L’étude explore également la possibilité d’un pont de transport actif au-dessus de l’autoroute 417 pour les piétons et les cyclistes.

La rue Stittsville Main sera prolongée du chemin Maple Grove jusqu’au futur carrefour giratoire de l’avenue Robert-Grant, au sud de la promenade Palladium.

Ces projets ont été définis dans le Plan directeur des transports (PDT) de 2013 pour répondre à la demande future en matière de déplacements dans la région, et le plan de travail de l’étude d’évaluation environnementale a été approuvé par le Conseil en 2021. Le PDT prévoyait que la mise en œuvre commencerait durant la période 2026-2031.

The City wants to hear from you about the draft designs for the Stittsville Main Street extension and Huntmar Drive widening. View the plans and take the survey on the City’s project page.

The section of Huntmar Drive being studied for widening is between Campeau Drive and Maple Grove Road, which includes evaluating opportunities for the 417 overpass. The preliminary preferred solution is to reconstruct this section as a four-lane “complete street,” with dedicated facilities for pedestrians, cyclists, vehicles and transit. The study is also exploring an active transportation bridge across the 417 for pedestrians and cyclists.

Stittsville Main Street will be extended from Maple Grove Road to the future Robert Grant Avenue roundabout south of Palladium. The preliminary preferred solution is to construct this extension as a two-lane complete street with cycletracks, sidewalks, and parking bays.

These projects were identified in the 2013 Transportation Master Plan (TMP) to support future travel demand in the area, and the work plan for the Environmental Assessment study was approved by council last year. The City of Ottawa began the study earlier this year and expects to complete it by winter 2022/2023. The TMP anticipated the implementation to start sometime in the 2026-2031 window.

Exprimez-vous sur les plans provisoires de prolongement de la rue Stittsville Main et d’élargissement de la promenade Huntmar

La Ville souhaite connaître votre avis sur les plans provisoires du prolongement de la rue Stittsville Main et de l’élargissement de la promenade Huntmar. Consultez les plans et répondez au sondage sur la page des projets de la Ville.

Le tronçon de la promenade Huntmar dont l’élargissement est à l’étude se situe entre la promenade Campeau et le chemin Maple Grove, ce qui comprend l’évaluation des possibilités pour le passage supérieur de l’autoroute 417. La solution préliminaire privilégiée consiste à reconstruire ce tronçon en tant que « rue complète » de quatre voies, avec l’aménagement d’infrastructures exclusives pour les piétons, les cyclistes, les véhicules et les transports en commun. L’étude explore également la possibilité d’un pont de transport actif au-dessus de l’autoroute 417 pour les piétons et les cyclistes.

La rue Stittsville Main sera prolongée du chemin Maple Grove jusqu’au futur carrefour giratoire de l’avenue Robert-Grant, au sud de la promenade Palladium. La solution préliminaire privilégiée consiste à construire ce prolongement en tant que rue complète de deux voies avec des pistes cyclables, des trottoirs et des espaces de stationnement.

Ces projets ont été définis dans le Plan directeur des transports (PDT) de 2013 pour répondre à la demande future en matière de déplacements dans la région, et le plan de travail de l’étude d’évaluation environnementale a été approuvé par le Conseil l’année dernière. La Ville d’Ottawa a commencé l’étude plus tôt cette année et prévoit de la terminer d’ici l’hiver 2022-2023. Le PDT prévoyait que la mise en œuvre commencerait durant la période 2026-2031.
