										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit </em></p>
<p>A few weeks back in my weekly video update, I mentioned the possibility of a new extension of the Poole Creek Pathway through Amberwood and Amberlakes. I wanted to provide some more information about where we are at with that project.</p>
<h3>Background</h3>
<p>Decades ago, Goulbourn Township and home developers built a network of walking paths along Poole Creek, including next to Johnny Leroux Arena, and through neighbourhoods including Wyldewood, Amberwood, Amberway, Forest Creek, and Fringewood.</p>
<p>Going back about 25 years or more, there was a “Poole Creek Pathway Committee” formed by residents to advocate for expanding the pathway, including a northern leg at the western edge of Wyldewood, parallel to Stittsville Main Street towards Wildpine Court.</p>
<p>In response to requests from residents, in 2021 I asked City staff to evaluate three potential corridors for additional pathways.</p>
<p><a href="http://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/poole-creek-pathway-extension-corridors.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-17882" src="http://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/poole-creek-pathway-extension-corridors.jpg" alt="Map showing three potential corridors for a Poole Creek extension" width="2400" height="2390" srcset="https://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/poole-creek-pathway-extension-corridors.jpg 1920w, https://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/poole-creek-pathway-extension-corridors-300x300.jpg 300w, https://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/poole-creek-pathway-extension-corridors-1024x1020.jpg 1024w, https://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/poole-creek-pathway-extension-corridors-150x150.jpg 150w, https://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/poole-creek-pathway-extension-corridors-768x765.jpg 768w, https://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/poole-creek-pathway-extension-corridors-1536x1530.jpg 1536w, https://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/poole-creek-pathway-extension-corridors-610x607.jpg 610w, https://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/poole-creek-pathway-extension-corridors-1080x1076.jpg 1080w, https://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/poole-creek-pathway-extension-corridors-1280x1275.jpg 1280w, https://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/poole-creek-pathway-extension-corridors-980x976.jpg 980w, https://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/poole-creek-pathway-extension-corridors-480x478.jpg 480w" sizes="(max-width: 2400px) 100vw, 2400px" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Corridor 1:</strong> An extension that would connect from the existing Poole Creek Pathway, heading north towards Wildpine Court and the shopping plaza.</li>
<li><strong>Corridor 2</strong>: A pathway through the hydro corridor between Amberlakes and Amberwood.</li>
<li><strong>Corridor 3:</strong> A pathway north of Hesse Crescent in Wyldewood, connecting to the existing pathways between Hesse Crescent and Pine Bluff Trail.</li>
</ul>
<p>In 2022, the City of Ottawa applied and received funding the Federal government’s Active Transportation Fund for a feasibility study: <em>“This feasibility study will yield recommended options for the design and construction of transportation infrastructure to park amenities, commercial development on Stittsville Main Street, and the promote active recreation uses along the pathway including cycling, running and walking by Stittsville residents.”</em></p>
<p>The study was conducted by WSP and completed in 2025.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Study considerations and findings</h3>
<p>WSP evaluated several factors as part of their feasibility study, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Property ownership  and boundaries</li>
<li>Road allowance and right-of-way</li>
<li>Utility mapping and locations</li>
<li>Existing pathways</li>
<li>Flood plain mapping</li>
<li>Species at risk locations</li>
<li>Zoning and planned developments</li>
<li>Community stakeholders</li>
<li>Traffic studies</li>
<li>Collision history data</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Through the study, they identified several constraints along the three corridors, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Land ownership constraints</li>
<li>Hydrological &amp; environmental issues (much of this area is within a floodplain)</li>
<li>Utility corridor restrictions</li>
<li>Sightline &amp; safety concerns at road crossings</li>
</ul>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With those constraints, they ruled out Corridor 1 and Corridor 3 for consideration. A pathway through Corridor 2, however, can feasibly be built and would provide significant connectivity between several neighbourhoods.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>What’s possible</h3>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The report identifies two phases to the project, using existing pathways and creating new pathways through the hydro corridor.</p>
<p><strong>Phase 1:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Create a continuous pathway from Stittsville Main Street to Fringewood drive, using existing and new pathways.</li>
<li>The existing pathways are in Amberlakes, Amberwood, Forest Creek, and Fringewood, as well as the sidewalk along Springbrook.</li>
<li>A new pathway could run through the hydro corridor from Amberlakes to Springbrook.</li>
<li>The pathways would be built or upgraded as 3.0-metre stone dust gravel pathways, to meet current accessibility requirements.</li>
<li>The project would include a pedestrian crosswalk on Springbrook adjacent to the Amberwood Village Golf &amp; Recreation facility, and an upgrade to the sidewalk along Springbrook between the golf course and the mailboxes.</li>
<li>Cost estimate ranges from $1,258,000 (low) to $2,935,000 (high)</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Phase 2:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Create a new pathway connecting through the hydro corridor from Springbrook to Savage, providing a more direct east-west route.</li>
<li>Property ownership constraints and community gardens in this part of the hydro corridor would require additional study and consultation.</li>
<li>Cost estimate $762,000 (low) $1,777,000 (high)</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Next steps</h3>
<p>This project is still in the very early stages, and does not have funding or approval to proceed.</p>
<p>The immediate next step is securing funding for a functional design (about $30,000) to build on the feasibility study. A completed functional design would also allow the city to apply for grants for the project, should they become available.</p>
<p>The project would also have to be evaluated as part of the City’s priority list for new cycling and pedestrian projects. Unfortunately, the results of the feasibility study came too late to be a part of the <a href="http://glengower.ca/development/notebook-transportation-master-plan-comes-to-committee-on-june-26/">2025 Transportation Master Plan (TMP)</a> passed at Council in July, but it will be reviewed as part of the next TMP update two years from now.</p>
<p>As this project progresses, there will be opportunities for informal and formal consultation with residents and property owners. The Amberwood Village Residents Association have provided feedback as part of the feasibility study, given that the new pathway passes through part of the golf course.</p>
<p>From a broader perspective, this pathway would connect several neighbourhoods to an existing north-south corridor that extends south to the Trans Canada Trail, and north to Maple Grove Road. In the future, this route will extend north to Culdaff in the Connections neighbourhood, and further south towards Flewellyn Road. (See map below.)</p>
<p>I would also like to hear from residents. Do you have any questions or feedback about the project? <a href="http://glengower.ca/contact/">Click here to contact me.</a></p>

This route exists today and includes a mix of pathways and residential streets. In the future it will extend further north to Culdaff Road in the Connections neighbourhood, and further south towards Flewellyn. 3) Maple Grove Road corridor, running east west. Eventually, safer pathway connections will be built from Rothbourne Road in the west to east of Terry Fox Drive, potentially as far as Eagleson Road. 4) The Poole Creek Pathway extension through the hydro corridor, described in this post.</p></div>

<p>Il y a quelques semaines, dans ma mise à jour vidéo hebdomadaire, j’ai mentionné la possibilité d’un nouveau prolongement du sentier du ruisseau Poole à travers Amberwood et Amberlakes. Je voulais vous donner plus d’informations sur l’état d’avancement de ce projet.</p>
<h3>Contexte</h3>
<p>Il y a des décennies, le canton de Goulbourn et des promoteurs résidentiels ont construit un réseau de sentiers pédestres le long du ruisseau Poole, notamment à côté de l’aréna Johnny-Leroux et à travers des quartiers tels que Wyldewood, Amberwood, Amberway, Forest Creek et Fringewood.</p>
<p>Il y a environ 25 ans ou plus, un « comité du sentier du ruisseau Poole » a été formé par des résidents pour plaider en faveur de l’élargissement du sentier, y compris un tronçon nord à l’extrémité ouest de Wyldewood, parallèlement à la rue Stittsville Main en direction de la cour Wildpine.</p>
<p>En réponse aux demandes des résidents, j’ai demandé au personnel de la Ville, en 2021, d’évaluer trois corridors potentiels pour l’ajout de sentiers supplémentaires.</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Corridor 1 :</strong> Un prolongement qui relierait le sentier existant du ruisseau Poole, en direction nord vers la cour Wildpine et le centre commercial.</li>
<li><strong>Corridor 2</strong> : Un sentier traversant le couloir de transport de l’électricité entre Amberlakes et Amberwood.</li>
<li><strong>Corridor 3 :</strong> Un sentier au nord du croissant Hesse à Wyldewood, reliant les sentiers existants entre le croissant Hesse et le sentier Pine Bluff.</li>
</ul>
<p>En 2022, la Ville d’Ottawa a demandé et reçu du financement du Fonds pour le transport actif du gouvernement du Canada pour une étude de faisabilité : <em>« Cette étude de faisabilité permettra de recommander des options pour la conception et la construction d’infrastructures de transport vers les aires d’agrément du parc et l’artère commerciale de la rue Stittsville Main, ainsi que pour la promotion d’activités récréatives actives le long du sentier, y compris le cyclisme, la course et la marche par les résidents de Stittsville. »</em> [Traduction]</p>
<p>L’étude a été menée par WSP. Elle a été terminée en 2025.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Considérations et conclusions de l’étude</h3>
<p>WSP a évalué plusieurs facteurs dans le cadre de son étude de faisabilité, notamment :</p>
<ul>
<li>Droits de propriété et limites de propriété</li>
<li>Emprise routière et droit de passage</li>
<li>Cartographie et emplacements des services publics</li>
<li>Sentiers actuels</li>
<li>Cartographie de la plaine inondable</li>
<li>Emplacements des espèces en péril</li>
<li>Zonage et aménagements planifiés</li>
<li>Acteurs de la collectivité</li>
<li>Études sur la circulation</li>
<li>Données sur l’historique des collisions</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Dans le cadre de l’étude, plusieurs contraintes le long des trois corridors ont été répertoriées, notamment :</p>
<ul>
<li>Contraintes relatives à la propriété foncière</li>
<li>Enjeux hydrologiques et environnementaux (une grande partie de cette zone se trouve dans une plaine inondable)</li>
<li>Restrictions relatives aux corridors de services publics</li>
<li>Visibilité et sécurité aux croisements routiers</li>
</ul>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Compte tenu de ces contraintes, le corridor 1 et le corridor 3 ont été exclus. Un sentier traversant le corridor 2 peut toutefois être construit et assurerait une connectivité importante entre plusieurs quartiers.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Le rapport définit deux phases pour le projet, soit l’utilisation des sentiers existants et la création de nouveaux sentiers dans le couloir de transport de l’électricité.</p>
<p><strong>Phase 1 :</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Créer un sentier continu de la rue Stittsville Main à la promenade Fringewood, en utilisant les sentiers existants et en créant de nouveaux sentiers.</li>
<li>Les sentiers existants se trouvent à Amberlakes, Amberwood, Forest Creek et Fringewood, ainsi que tout au long du trottoir de Springbrook.</li>
<li>Un nouveau sentier pourrait traverser le couloir de transport de l’électricité d’Amberlakes à Springbrook.</li>
<li>Les sentiers seraient construits, ou améliorés pour devenir des sentiers de poussière de pierre de 3,0 mètres, afin de répondre aux exigences actuelles en matière d’accessibilité.</li>
<li>Le projet comprendrait un passage pour piétons sur Springbrook, adjacent au club de golf et de loisirs d’Amberwood Village, et une amélioration du trottoir le long de Springbrook entre le terrain de golf et les boîtes aux lettres.</li>
<li>Le coût estimatif varie entre 1 258 000 $ (coût estimatif bas) et 2 935 000 $ (coût estimatif élevé).</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Phase 2 :</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Créer un nouveau sentier reliant le couloir de transport de l’électricité de Springbrook à Savage, ce qui permet un passage est-ouest plus direct.</li>
<li>En raison des contraintes liées à la propriété et des jardins communautaires dans cette partie du couloir de transport de l’électricité, il va falloir mener des études et des consultations supplémentaires.</li>
<li>Le coût estimatif varie entre 762 000 $ (coût estimatif bas) et 1 777 000 $ (coût estimatif élevé).</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Prochaines étapes</h3>
<p>Ce projet n’en est qu’à ses débuts et n’a pas encore obtenu le financement ni l’approbation nécessaire pour aller de l’avant.</p>
<p>La prochaine étape immédiate consiste à obtenir du financement pour une conception fonctionnelle (environ 30 000 $) qui s’appuiera sur l’étude de faisabilité. Une conception fonctionnelle complète permettrait également à la Ville de demander des subventions pour le projet, si elles deviennent disponibles.</p>
<p>Le projet devra également être évalué dans le cadre de la liste des priorités de la Ville pour les nouveaux projets cyclistes et piétonniers. Malheureusement, nous avons reçu les conclusions de l’étude de faisabilité trop tard pour pouvoir les inclure au <a href="http://glengower.ca/development/notebook-transportation-master-plan-comes-to-committee-on-june-26/">Plan directeur des transports (PDT) de 2025</a>, qui a été adopté par le Conseil en juillet, mais elles seront examinées dans le cadre de la prochaine mise à jour du PDT dans deux ans.</p>
<p>Au fur et à mesure que ce projet progresse, il y aura des possibilités de consultation informelle et officielle avec les résidents et les propriétaires. L’association des résidents d’Amberwood Village a fourni des commentaires dans le cadre de l’étude de faisabilité, étant donné que le nouveau sentier traverse une partie du terrain de golf.</p>
<p>Dans une perspective plus large, ce sentier relierait plusieurs quartiers à un corridor nord-sud existant qui s’étend vers le sud jusqu’au Sentier transcanadien et vers le nord jusqu’au chemin Maple Grove. À l’avenir, cette route s’étendra vers le nord jusqu’à Culdaff dans le quartier Connections, et plus au sud vers le chemin Flewellyn. (Voir la carte ci-dessous.)</p>
<p>J’aimerais également entendre les résidents à ce sujet. Avez-vous des questions ou des commentaires sur le projet? <a href="http://glengower.ca/contact/">Cliquez ici pour communiquer avec moi</a>.</p>

À l’avenir, elle va s’étendre plus au nord jusqu’au chemin Culdaff dans le quartier Connections et plus au sud jusqu’à Flewellyn. 3) Corridor du chemin Maple Grove, qui s’étend d’est en ouest. Des sentiers plus sûrs pourraient être construits plus tard entre le chemin Rothbourne à l’ouest et à l’est de la promenade Terry Fox, potentiellement jusqu’au chemin Eagleson. 4) Le prolongement du sentier du ruisseau Poole à travers le couloir de transport de l’électricité, qui est décrit dans ce billet.</p></div>

<hr />
<h3 style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Mise à jour : Étude sur la modération de la circulation dans le secteur de la promenade Sweetnam</strong></h3>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">La Ville a publié sur son <a href="https://ottawa.ca/fr/hotel-de-ville/engagement-du-public/recherche-de-projets-dengagement-du-public/promenade-sweetnam-etude-sur-la-moderation-de-la-circulation"><u>site Web</u></a> une mise à jour concernant le projet d’étude sur la modération de la circulation le long de la promenade Sweetnam, y compris la version définitive du Plan de modération de la circulation recommandé. La prochaine étape du processus consiste à obtenir les approbations finales relatives au projet, puis à lancer les études techniques détaillées, ce qui prend généralement un an. Les travaux de construction seront en principe entrepris l’année suivante.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Au cours de l’été 2024, le public a été invité à répondre à un sondage en ligne afin de se prononcer sur le <a href="http://glengower.ca/information/sweetnam-neighbourhood-traffic-calming-study/"><u>plan conceptuel</u></a> proposé pour la promenade Sweetnam. Les résultats complets du sondage sont présentés dans un <a href="https://documents.ottawa.ca/sites/default/files/sweetnam_awhi_fr.pdf"><u>rapport de type « Ce que nous avons entendu »</u></a>. À la lumière des résultats du sondage et des commentaires exprimés par la population ainsi que d’une analyse technique plus poussée, le Plan de modération de la circulation recommandé pour la promenade Sweetnam a été mis à jour et finalisé.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Les recommandations finales comprennent ce qui suit.</p>
<ul>
<li>Aménagement d’un passage pour piétons situé à environ 165 m au nord de la promenade Harry-Douglas.</li>
<li>Aménagement de deux dos d’âne allongés :
<ul>
<li>un premier à environ 85 m au nord de la promenade Harry-Douglas;</li>
<li>un deuxième à environ 220 m au nord de la promenade Harry-Douglas.</li>
</ul>
</li>

<p>Poole Creek stretches and meanders from one end of the community to the other, surrounded by majestic trees that stand sturdy on watch over our neighbourhoods. For Bruce Dudley, the stewardship of our lands is a passion that runs deeper than the wetlands and stretches farther than our community borders.</p>
<p>“I have been passionate about the environment my entire life,” says Bruce, a 24-year resident of Stittsville. “Growing up, I spent a lot of time in nature and developed a passion for protecting our native species.”</p>
<p>Bruce recently retired from the Delphi Group where he held the post of Senior Vice President. In his most recent role, he provided high level strategic advice to corporations on sustainability and climate change to effect change in corporate and public behaviour. He is currently the CEO and founder of Your Forest Canada.</p>
<p>Bruce lives his passion beyond the corporate environment and pours hours and effort into the Stittsville Community. This year will mark three clean up missions of Poole Creek. And we are not just talking about garbage pick-up. Dressed in hip waiters and determination, Bruce organizes a crew of volunteers to undertake clean up efforts along the creek on an annual basis. He works closely with Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority and the Ottawa River Keepers to ensure the health of the delegate ecosystem.</p>
<p>Bruce has also led the charge in advocating for mini-forests, woodland clean-ups, and has worked closely with Nature Metrics, the local conservation authorities, and Network of Nature to bring education on biodiversity to our community. He has collaborated with local schools to involve students in firsthand data collection along Poole Creek. (Did you know: Poole Creek is home to more than thirty species of fish.) Most recently, he is teaming up with the Friends of the Wetlands to help in conservation efforts, and the restoration of ecological significant woodlots in the community.</p>
<p>“If you want to be involved in real change, stay connected to the community. Be aware of what is happening and join volunteer efforts,” says Bruce. “We live in a great community, with engaged citizens. Real, positive impact is possible.”</p>

<h3 style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>CHANGER LES CHOSES : Bruce Dudley</strong></h3>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Le ruisseau Poole s’étend et serpente d’un bout à l’autre de la communauté, et il est entouré d’arbres majestueux et solides qui veillent sur nos quartiers. Pour Bruce Dudley, la gestion de nos terres est une passion qui va bien au-delà des terres marécageuses et des frontières de notre communauté.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">« Toute ma vie, j’ai été passionné par l’environnement », déclare Bruce, résident de Stittsville depuis 24 ans. « En grandissant, j’ai passé beaucoup de temps dans la nature et j’ai développé une passion pour la protection de nos espèces indigènes. »</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Bruce a récemment pris sa retraite du groupe Delphi, où il occupait le poste de vice-président principal. Dans ses dernières fonctions, il a fourni des conseils stratégiques de haut niveau aux entreprises sur le développement durable et les changements climatiques afin d’encourager le changement du comportement des entreprises et du public. Il est le fondateur de Your Forest Canada, et il occupe actuellement le poste de directeur général.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Bruce vit sa passion au-delà de l’environnement d’entreprise, et il consacre des heures et des efforts dans la communauté de Stittsville. Cette année marquera la troisième année des missions de nettoyage du ruisseau Poole. Nous ne parlons pas seulement du ramassage des ordures. Vêtu de bottes cuissardes imperméables et de sa détermination, Bruce organise chaque année une équipe de bénévoles pour nettoyer le long du ruisseau. Il travaille en étroite collaboration avec l’Office de protection de la nature de la vallée de la rivière Mississippi et l’organisme Garde-rivière des Outaouais pour assurer la santé de l’écosystème délégué.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Bruce a également pris l’initiative de promouvoir les mini-forêts et le nettoyage des terrains boisés, et il a travaillé en étroite collaboration avec Nature Metrics, l’office local de la protection de la nature, et avec Network of Nature afin de sensibiliser notre communauté à la biodiversité. Il a collaboré avec les écoles locales pour faire participer les élèves à la collecte de données de première main le long du ruisseau Poole. (Le saviez-vous : le ruisseau Poole abrite plus de trente espèces de poissons). Plus récemment, il s’est associé à l’association Friends of the Wetlands pour contribuer aux efforts de conservation et à la restauration de boisés importants sur le plan écologique dans la communauté.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">« Si vous voulez participer à un véritable changement, restez en communication avec la communauté. Soyez au courant de ce qui se passe et participez à des missions de bénévolat », déclare Bruce. « Nous vivons dans une formidable communauté, avec des citoyens mobilisés. Des répercussions importantes et positives sont possibles ».</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p>The City of Ottawa is conducting a traffic calming study along Sweetnam Drive between Harry Douglas and Poole Creek, in response to traffic concerns raised by the residents. The purpose of this study is to recommend permanent roadway modifications intended to improve safety for all road users, primarily by reducing vehicular speeds.</p>
<p>Based on traffic data, coordination with various stakeholders, and project constraints, the City has proposed the following conceptual plan. It includes a pedestrian crosswalk (PXO) to connect pathways on either side of the road and speed humps to reduce traffic speed.</p>

<h3 style="font-weight: 400;">Étude sur la modération de la circulation dans le secteur de la promenade Sweetnam</h3>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">La Ville d’Ottawa mène une étude sur la modération de la circulation le long de la promenade Sweetnam, entre la promenade Harry Douglas et le ruisseau Poole, en réponse aux problèmes de circulation soulevés par les résidents. Le but de cette étude vise à formuler des recommandations sur des modifications permanentes à apporter à la chaussée afin d’améliorer la sécurité de tous les usagers de la route, principalement en réduisant la vitesse des véhicules.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">À la lumière de données sur la circulation, de l’apport des différentes parties prenantes et des contraintes du projet, la Ville a proposé le plan conceptuel suivant. Il comprend un passage pour piétons pour assurer la liaison entre les sentiers de part et d’autre de la route et des dos d’âne pour réduire la vitesse de la circulation.</p>

<p>The City is conducting public consultation on a proposal to name a section of the Poole Creek Walkway to the west of Main Street, past the Community Centre, and ending at Johnathon Pack Street, located within Alexander Grove Park, 10 Warner Colpitts Lane, “Betty Hill Walkway”.</p>
<p>In recognition of demonstrated excellence, the City has been asked to name a section of the Poole Creek Walkway located within Alexander Grove Park, located at 10 Warner Colpitts Lane,“Betty Hill Walkway”. Former Mayor Betty Hill served the Stittsville and Goulbourn community for nearly 20 years. She served as Reeve of Richmond, Ontario, and Mayor of Goulbourn Township. Ms. Hill was instrumental in many community initiatives, including bringing municipal water and sewer to Stittsville, a business and industrial park in Goulbourn, and the development of the original Poole Creek pathway.</p>

<h2>Remplacement de la passerelle pour piétons de la promenade Beechfern</h2>
<p>À compter du mois de juillet, la Ville d’Ottawa entamera des travaux dans votre secteur afin de remplacer la passerelle pour piétons de la promenade Beechfern.</p>
<p>Pour en savoir plus sur le projet, consultez le site ottawa.ca/passerellepourpietonsbeechfern.<br />
Quoi : La passerelle en bois actuelle, qui est en mauvais état, sera remplacée par une nouvelle passerelle en acier. Les travaux comprendront la plantation d’arbres et d’arbustes sur le côté ouest de la passerelle.</p>
<p>Pourquoi : Ces travaux doivent être effectués pour remplacer l’infrastructure vieillissante et en améliorer la fiabilité.</p>
<p><strong>Quand</strong> : Les travaux devraient commencer au début du mois de juillet et être terminés à la fin du mois d’août 2022.<br />
<strong>Où</strong> : La passerelle pour piétons est située le long du sentier du ruisseau Poole, dans la zone boisée entre l’école primaire Holy Spirit et la promenade Beechfern. Le sentier est situé entre la rue Stittsville Main et la promenade Beechfern.<br />
<strong>Qui</strong> : La Ville d’Ottawa a retenu les services d’AWD Construction pour exécuter les travaux.<br />

<p>City staff have published a draft of the <a href="https://engage.ottawa.ca/stittsville-main-street-public-realm-plan">new Public Realm Plan for Stittsville Main Street</a>. The plan covers the public right-of-way (roads, sidewalks and boulevards) from Hazeldean Road to Bobcat Way, and introduces sidewalks and separate bike paths for the full length of the street. There are also proposed upgrades to intersections to improve safety and flow of vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists.</p>
<p>Besides transportation, the plan also recommends enhancements to street lighting, benches, street trees, waste receptacles, and greenspace. The plan will give a blueprint to guide future improvements and growth along the street.</p>
<p>The plan was prepared with input of the Stittsville Main Street Public Working Group and Technical Advisory Committee, as well as feedback received from residents including at a public meeting held on April 27. City staff will continue to collect your feedback for the next few weeks, before presenting an updated plan to City Council for approval in June. Thanks to everyone who has shared feedback and questions and contributed so far!</p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s how you can see the plan and share your feedback:</strong></p>

<p id="potential-public-realm-investments-7"><strong>Potential Public Realm Investments<br />
</strong>The current state of the underground infrastructure beneath Stittsville Main Street does not warrant an integrated road, water and sewer reconstruction project in the near future. Ideally, this would be the easiest way to implement the Public Realm Plan all at once. Instead, the plan supports an incremental approach to its implementation. The following are specific Public Realm Investments that can achieve the objectives of the plan over time, as funding becomes available (in no particular order):</p>
<ol>
<li>North and South Gateway Landscaping &amp; Signage Enhancements</li>
<li>Street Tree Plantings and Greening Initiatives</li>
<li>Street Beautification and Furnishings Upgrades</li>
<li>Active Transportation Improvements and Protected Intersections (pedestrians, cyclists, etc.)</li>
<li>Priority Bus Stops</li>
<li>Poole Creek Trail and Crossing Enhancements</li>
<li>Abbott Street and TransCanada Trail Crossing Improvements</li>
<li>Decorative Lighting Display Installations</li>
<li>Pedestrian Street Light Upgrades – The installation of new street lights in the Village Core (between Wintergreen Drive and Brae Crescent) has the potential to be the first component of this plan to be implemented. A conceptual mock-up of the new fixtures is currently in development and aims be posted on this website in spring 2022.</li>

<h2>Consultez le Plan du domaine public de la rue Stittsville Main recommandé</h2>
<p>Le personnel de la Ville a publié une version préliminaire du <a href="https://participons.ottawa.ca/stittsville-main-street-public-realm-plan-fr"><u>nouveau Plan du domaine public de la rue Stittsville Main</u></a>. Le Plan, qui englobe l’emprise publique (chaussée, trottoirs et terre-pleins latéraux) allant du chemin Hazeldean jusqu’à la voie Bobcat, prévoit l’aménagement de trottoirs et de pistes cyclables distinctes sur toute la longueur de la rue. Il propose également la modernisation des intersections pour améliorer la sécurité et la circulation des véhicules, des piétons et des cyclistes.</p>
<p>Outre les transports, le Plan recommande également l’apport d’améliorations en ce qui concerne l’éclairage public, les bancs, les arbres de rue, les poubelles et les espaces verts. Le Plan servira de guide pour ceux qui décideront des améliorations à apporter à la rue et pour la croissance de celle-ci.</p>
<p>Les commentaires formulés par le comité consultatif technique et le groupe de travail public de la rue Stittsville Main ainsi que par les résidents, notamment lors d’une réunion publique tenue le 27 avril, ont servi à élaborer le Plan. Le personnel de la Ville continuera de recueillir vos commentaires au cours des prochaines semaines avant de soumettre une version actualisée du Plan à l’approbation du Conseil municipal en juin. Merci à tous ceux qui, jusqu’à maintenant, ont contribué au projet et ont pris le temps d’exprimer leur avis et de poser des questions!</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Investissements potentiels dans le domaine public</strong></p>
<p>L’état actuel de l’infrastructure souterraine de la rue Stittsville Main ne justifie pas la mise en œuvre d’un projet de réfection intégrée de la conduite d’eau principale, des égouts et de la chaussée dans un avenir rapproché. Idéalement, un tel projet serait le moyen le plus facile de mettre en œuvre le Plan du domaine public en une seule fois. Au contraire, le Plan soutient une approche de mise en œuvre progressive. Voici des investissements concrets en matière de domaine public qui permettront d’atteindre les objectifs du Plan au fil du temps, à mesure que les fonds seront disponibles (sans ordre d’importance particulier) :</p>
<ol>
<li>amélioration de l’aménagement paysager et de la signalisation des points d’accès nord et sud;</li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>(Update from the <a href="http://mvc.on.ca">Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority</a>)</em></p>
<div>
<p><strong>Flood warning – Severe flooding expected across the Mississippi Valley Watershed; Carp River has peaked and is beginning to drop</strong></p>
</div>
<p>April 17, 2019 —</p>
<p>The Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority is issuing an update to the <strong>FLOOD WARNING</strong> for the<strong> entire MISSISSIPPI RIVER watershed </strong>issued April 20, 2019<strong>. </strong>A band of rain hit the western portion of the watershed last night with rainfall amounts in excess of 30 mm<strong>. </strong>Water levels in those areas rose dramatically overnight and continue to increase at this time. Severe flood levels are expected be reached at numerous locations:</p>
<p><strong>Mazinaw Lake / Little Marble and Marble Lakes– </strong>levels increased by approximately 30 cm overnight and are expected to increase another 5 to 10 cm over the next 24 hours. Confidence in the overall increase amounts in that area is low due to the uncertainty of the total amounts of rainfall received. Outflows from Mazinaw Lake increased sharply overnight and severe flooding is expected or occurring on Little Marble and Marble Lakes. Water levels are expected to peak tomorrow and begin dropping by mid-week. Areas downstream of these lakes will see levels and flows pick up quickly over the next 48 hours.</p>
<p><strong>Crotch Lake to High Falls – </strong>flows out of Crotch Lake are expected to continue to steadily increase over the next 48 hours and will then pick up quickly as the water from the upper lakes reach Crotch lake. Flows in Antoinne and Cranberry Creeks should begin to drop today so levels in the Snow Road area should be stable for the next 48 hours. They are expected to increase again as the water from the upper sub-basins reaches this area.</p>
<p><strong>Dalhousie Lake</strong> &#8211; over the next 24 hours levels are expected to increase 5 to 10 cm from this morning’s elevation of 157.77 m, matching levels reached in 2017 and 1998. Levels should remain stable until Tuesday.</p>
<p><strong>Mississippi Lake</strong> – levels increasing 10 – 15 cm above today’s current elevation of 135.47 m. Levels are expected to be close to those experienced in 1998. Peak levels are expected to be reached Tuesday or Wednesday of next week and will remain at or near those levels over the next 5 days. Increased flows from the upper portion of the watershed should be matched by the anticipated drop in flows from the Clyde and Fall River watersheds.</p>
<p><strong>Mississippi River downstream of Mississippi Lake – </strong>flows are expected to continue to increase throughout the weekend. Elevations will vary due to the topography of the shoreline of the river. All residents along the river should keep a close watch on levels and take necessary precautions to protect their property.</p>
<p><strong>Clyde and Fall Rivers</strong> – flows are still increasing but are expected to peak later today or early tomorrow They will remain high for the next few days.</p>
<p><strong>Indian and Carp Rivers – </strong>flows on the Indian and Carp Rivers have peaked and are beginning to drop. Flows are expected to be below flood stage by the middle of the week.<strong> The FLOOD WARNING is terminated for these rivers.</strong></p>
<p>Parents are encouraged to remind their children about hypothermia and the dangers of playing on or near ice covered surfaces or fast flowing water in ditches and smaller creeks. They are also reminded to keep their pets away from the same areas. Residents are strongly urged to stay off all ice covered waterways.</p>
<p><a href="applewebdata://233FA594-4DB4-45AE-9644-1BE75D92B944/video-6-waterfront-homeowners/">Residents in flood prone or low lying areas</a>, historically susceptible to flooding, should take the necessary precautions to protect their property, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="applewebdata://233FA594-4DB4-45AE-9644-1BE75D92B944/video-5-sump-pump-ready/">Ensuring sump pump is clear, in good working condition and has a backwater valve on it</a></li>
<li>Portable backup generator and/or battery pump</li>
<li>Ensuring downspouts are clear and the outlet is at least 3 m from the dwelling</li>
<li>Removing or securing items that might float away as flows increase</li>
<li>Removing valuable items from basements or lower floors that could be subject to flooding</li>
<li>Keep emergency phone numbers handy</li>
<li>Familiarize yourself with your <a href="applewebdata://233FA594-4DB4-45AE-9644-1BE75D92B944/video-3-municipal-preparedness/">municipality’s emergency preparedness plan</a></li>
