<p>City crews will soon be doing maintenance work along the Hazeldean Municipal Drain, just west of Stittsville and south of the Trans Canada Trail. The work is expected to start this week (weather permitting) and will take approximately 3-5 days to complete.</p>
<p>The location of the work is shown on the map. The trail will remain open, and a small tracked excavator will access the location from Fernbank Road. Residents may see or hear the maintenance work from the Trans Canada Trail.</p>
<p>The City of Ottawa Municipal Drainage Unit does yearly maintenance along the Hazeldean Road Municipal Drain as required under <em>Section 74</em> of the <em>Drainage Act</em>. Work is limited to 5% of the drain length per year. This work covers just under 250 metres of  the drain, and is required to keep it flowing clear of obstructions.  <a href="https://www.ontario.ca/page/municipal-drains">More information about municipal drains in Ontario&#8230;</a></p>
<p>For more information please contact Brien Devries, Drainage Superintendent, 613-580-2424 ext. 22315 or <a href="mailto:Brien.devries@ottawa.ca">Brien.devries@ottawa.ca</a>.</p>

<h2>Travaux d’entretien du drain municipal Hazeldean en 2025</h2>
<p>Les équipes de la Ville effectueront des travaux d’entretien sur le drain municipal Hazeldean, juste à l’ouest de Stittsville et au sud du Sentier transcanadien. Les travaux devraient commencer cette semaine (si les conditions météorologiques le permettent) et durer de trois à cinq jours.</p>
<p>L’emplacement où ces travaux auront lieu est indiqué sur le plan. Le sentier restera ouvert et une petite excavatrice à chenilles accédera au chantier par le chemin Fernbank. Il est possible que les résidents voient ou entendent les travaux d’entretien depuis le Sentier transcanadien.</p>
<p>L’Unité du drainage municipal de la Ville d’Ottawa procède annuellement à des travaux d’entretien sur le drain municipal du chemin Hazeldean, conformément à l’article 74 de la <em>Loi sur le drainage</em>. Les travaux sont limités chaque année à cinq pour cent de la longueur totale du drain. Ces travaux, qui portent sur un peu moins de 250 mètres de la longueur du drain, sont nécessaires pour garantir son bon écoulement. <a href="https://www.ontario.ca/fr/page/drains-municipaux">Renseignements complémentaires sur les drains municipaux en Ontario…</a></p>

<p>There was drilling along the Trans Canada Trail earlier this week, west of Stittsville near the observation deck. The drilling was done to install monitoring wells to provide information on local geology, soils, and groundwater levels.</p>
<p>Glenview Homes is preparing a plan for development of <a href="http://glengower.ca/development/north-stittsville-notice-of-future-neighbourhood-study-and-open-house/">a future neighbourhood</a> west of the Timbermere community.  Much of that area naturally drains to the Hazeldean Municipal Drain and the Upper Poole Creek wetland between Hazeldean Road and the Trans-Canada Trail.  The City requires Glenview Homes to demonstrate that it can provide an adequate outlet for stormwater runoff without negatively affecting the wetland.  In order to do so, Glenview Homes must study the wetland, including an assessment of its supporting geology, soils, and groundwater.  The Trans-Canada Trail allows the installation of the monitoring wells with minimal disturbance to the wetland itself.</p>
<p>The Upper Poole Creek Wetland remains identified as a Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) and is protected from development.  It also lies within a core natural area of the City’s natural heritage system where the Official Plan excludes future urban expansion.</p>
<p><em>(Information provided by Nick Stow, Program Manager, Natural Systems with the City of Ottawa.)</em></p>
<hr />
<h3>Forage et surveillance le long du Sentier transcanadien</h3>
<p>Il y a eu des forages le long du Sentier transcanadien plus tôt cette semaine, à l’ouest de Stittsville, près de la plateforme d’observation. Le forage a été effectué pour installer des puits de surveillance afin de fournir des renseignements sur la géologie, les sols et les niveaux d’eau souterraine locaux.</p>
<p>L’entreprise Glenview Homes prépare un plan pour le développement d’un futur quartier à l’ouest de la communauté de Timbermere.  Une grande partie de cette zone s’écoule naturellement vers le drain municipal Hazeldean et les terres humides de la partie supérieure du ruisseau Poole entre le chemin Hazeldean et le Sentier transcanadien.  La Ville exige de Glenview Homes qu’elle démontre qu’elle peut fournir un exutoire adéquat pour le ruissellement des eaux pluviales sans nuire aux terres humides.  Pour ce faire, Glenview Homes doit étudier les terres humides, y compris une évaluation de sa géologie, de ses sols et de ses eaux souterraines.  Le Sentier transcanadien permet l’installation de puits de surveillance, et ce, avec une perturbation minimale des terres humides elles-mêmes.</p>
<p>Les terres humides de la partie supérieure du ruisseau Poole demeurent désignées comme des terres humides d’importance provinciale (THIP) et sont protégées contre le développement.  Elles se trouvent également dans une zone naturelle centrale du système du patrimoine naturel de la Ville où le Plan officiel exclut l’expansion urbaine future.</p>
<p><em>(Information fournie par Nick Stow, gestionnaire de programme, Direction des systèmes naturels de la Ville d’Ottawa.)</em></p>

<p>On Thursday, October 27, we commemorated <strong>Bob Mills</strong> for his contributions to the community of Stittsville and Goulbourn Township by naming a park in his honour. Bob Mills worked for the Township of Goulbourn for 24 years as Director of Parks and Recreation. He helped develop many community and neighbourhood parks, including ball fields, tennis courts, lawn bowling, pathways, and the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, during this time, enhancing recreation in the greater Stittsville area.</p>
<p>Through this commemorative naming of Bob Mills Park, located at 875 Atlas Terrace, Stittsville, all residents will be able to forever remember his contribution to the township and to our city.</p>

<p>You’ve likely seen more and more ebikes in our community over the last couple years. As they’ve increased in popularity, we’ve been getting questions about where people are allowed to ride them. So, can you ride an ebike on a road? Bike lane? What about the Trans Canada Trail? The answer depends what type of ebike you have.</p>
<p>When you hear the word “ebike,” you might picture a variety of different contraptions. But the province does have a legal definition of ebike: it’s a vehicle with handlebars, pedals, two or three wheels, an electric motor, and braking systems. The maximum speed is 32km/hr, the motor can’t exceed 500 watts, and it can’t weigh more than 120kg—including the battery.</p>
<p>There are two types of ebikes that tend to fit this definition: bicycle-style ebikes and scooter-style ebikes. The City of Ottawa has slightly different rules for each about where you can ride them.</p>
<p>Bicycle-style, or conventional ebikes look like a bicycle and you ride them like a bicycle. The only difference is they also have an electric motor, which can make pedalling easier. <strong>This type of ebike is allowed anywhere where bicycles are allowed.</strong> That includes roads, bike lanes, and multi-use pathways.</p>
<p>Scooter-style ebikes look like Vespas with a step-through open frame and a platform where riders typically rest their feet. Importantly, these ebikes must still have functional pedals. If you remove the pedals, then it becomes a motor vehicle—which requires a licence, insurance and registration to operate. <strong>This type of ebike is allowed on roads and bike lanes, but not allowed on multi-use pathways</strong>.</p>
<p>Another type of ebike with its own set of rules is the e-cargo bike. These are like conventional electric bicycles with increased storage capacity through a platform, basket, or container. Like the rules for the ebikes above, e-cargo bikes also can’t reach speeds above 32 km/hr, but are allowed to have an electric motor up to 1,000 watts. <strong>Any e-cargo</strong><strong> bike is allowed on roads and bike lanes, but only personal e-cargo bikes are allowed on multi-use pathways (commercial e-cargo bikes are not). </strong></p>
<p>You can read more about cycling safety on the <a href="https://ottawa.ca/en/parking-roads-and-travel/road-safety/cycling-safety#section-64beae1c-b1f8-4500-a2a7-830939b6b00d">City&#8217;s website.</a></p>

<h1>Les bicyclettes électriques sont-elles permises sur les sentiers?</h1>
<p>Vous avez certainement aperçu de plus en plus de bicyclettes électriques dans le quartier ces deux dernières années. À mesure qu’elles gagnent en popularité, nous recevons des questions sur les endroits où elles sont permises. Dans les rues? Sur les bandes cyclables? Qu’en est-il du Sentier transcanadien? La réponse dépend du type de bicyclette électrique que vous avez.</p>
<p>Lorsque vous entendez les mots « bicyclette électrique », vous vous imaginez peut-être une multitude d’engins différents. Mais il existe une définition légale de la bicyclette électrique dans la province : il s’agit d’un véhicule équipé d’un guidon, de pédales, de deux ou trois roues, d’un moteur électrique et de systèmes de freinage. La vitesse maximale est de 32 km/heure, le moteur ne peut pas dépasser 500 watts et le poids ne peut pas dépasser 120 kg, batterie incluse.</p>
<p>Il existe deux types de bicyclettes électriques qui correspondent à cette définition : les vélos électriques de type bicyclette et les vélos électriques de type scooter. Les règles de la Ville d’Ottawa quant aux endroits où vous pouvez les utiliser varient légèrement en fonction du type de vélo électrique.</p>
<p>Les vélos électriques de type bicyclette, ou bicyclettes électriques conventionnelles, ressemblent à une bicyclette et se conduisent comme une bicyclette. La seule différence est qu’ils ont également d’un moteur électrique, ce qui peut faciliter le pédalage. <strong>Ce type de bicyclette électrique est autorisé partout où les bicyclettes sont autorisées.</strong> Cela comprend les routes, les bandes cyclables et les sentiers polyvalents.</p>
<p>Les vélos électriques de type scooter ressemblent à des Vespas avec un cadre ouvert et une plateforme où les usagers posent généralement leurs pieds. Il est important de noter que ces vélos électriques doivent toujours avoir des pédales fonctionnelles. Si vous enlevez les pédales, il devient un véhicule à moteur et nécessite alors un permis, une assurance et une immatriculation pour être utilisé. <strong>Ce type de bicyclette électrique est autorisé sur les routes et les bandes cyclables, mais pas sur les sentiers polyvalents</strong>.</p>
<p>Un autre type de bicyclette électrique doté de ses propres règles est le vélo-cargo électrique. Ce sont des bicyclettes électriques conventionnelles avec une capacité de rangement accrue grâce à une plateforme, un panier ou un conteneur. À l’instar des règles applicables aux bicyclettes électriques ci-dessus, les vélos-cargos électriques ne peuvent pas non plus atteindre une vitesse supérieure à 32 km/h, mais ils peuvent être équipés d’un moteur électrique d’une puissance maximale de 1 000 watts. <strong>Tout vélo-cargo électrique est autorisé sur les routes et les bandes cyclables, mais seuls les vélos-cargos personnels sont autorisés sur les sentiers polyvalents (les vélos-cargos commerciaux ne le sont pas). </strong></p>

<p>On Friday, July 8 we welcomed family and friends of the Bradley Family for a commemorative naming ceremony at Bradley Square on Stittsville Main Street. Three generations &#8211; Silas, Sid, and Ross &#8211; have been longtime business leaders in Stittsville. For over half a century, the Bradley name was prominent on Main Street through Bradley’s Insurance, and they donated their time and money to many local organizations, charities, community groups and minor sports teams. You can see the plaque on the west side of Stittsville Main along the Trans Canada Trail.</p>
<p>A bit of family history from <a href="https://stittsvillecentral.ca/from-early-roots-to-a-park-in-their-name-the-bradley-family-is-a-stittsville-foundation-to-be-honoured/">StittsvilleCentral.ca</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Silas Bradley was born in 1898 and married Mary Jean (nee Argue) on September 24, 1930. They had four children: Sid, Helen, Beth and Grace. Silas’ commitment to the community all started back in 1956, when Silas, (a mover and shaker of his day), was seeking a new challenge after retiring from dairy farming. This new chapter in his life would see him founding Bradley’s Insurance and working from a rented one-room property on Main Street. Bradley’s Insurance went on to be an institution in our community for 63 years.</em></p>
<p><em>Silas was well-known and greatly respected for his hard work in our community – having been an elected officer for the Hazeldean Loyal Orange Lodge No. 246; prior to serving as Reeve of Stittsville, Silas served as a member of the South Carleton School Board and served as Chairman in 1958; Master of the Hazeldean Masonic Lodge; elected Warden of St. Thomas Anglican Church; Justice of the Peace for Carleton County; and a charter member of the Stittsville and District Lion’s Club. He also served as Reeve for eight years when Stittsville became incorporated in 1961 after having been a police village for five years in the Township of Goulbourn – the first and only of two reeves of the incorporated Village of Stittsville from 1961 until 1968. As Reeve, Silas saw Stittsville established as a municipality on a solid financial footing. He also presided over a period of time when there was considerable new building taking place in Stittsville. So you see, Silas was not just any dairy farmer, he was smart and extremely involved in our community – always in leadership roles.</em></p>
<p><em>Silas’ son Sid joined his father at Bradley’s Insurance in 1959. With politics playing an interest in Silas’ life, he passed the business to his son Sid who took over the reins and grew the business. Sid in a lot ways followed in his father’s footsteps. He, too, was always looking for a challenge. He is a chartered member of the Stittsville and District Lions Club. His interest in and ownership of race horses (pacers specifically) brought much activity to his life in earlier years and to the Bradley farm. He started a real estate company and was an enthusiastic outdoorsman being a member of the Lake St. Patrick Hunting and Fishing Club for several decades. Sid has always been community-minded and through Bradley’s Insurance could always be counted on to support our many local sports teams, charities, service organizations, special events and golf tournaments. Sid played on the local hockey teams and spent hours playing 18 holes at the local golf club, the Glen-Mar at the time&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8230;Ross took over from Sid by purchasing the business in 1998 and was instrumental in branching the business out to the various locales in the Ottawa Valley, further east and beyond. He is the third-generation of the family to enter into the business. There is a fourth-generation too, Ross’ son Branden, joined the business to follow in the footsteps of his Dad, Granddad, and Great-Granddad.</em></p>
<p><em>When Bradley’s Insurance was sold to Brokerlink in September, 2019, the personal service Stittsville residents have experienced for years continued. Ross sent a personal note to all of his loyal customers, past and present, thanking them for ‘their patronage over the past six decades’. He also thanked his employees for ‘the work and dedication which has contributed to our success’.</em></p></blockquote>

<hr />
<h2 style="font-weight: 400;">Cérémonie officielle de désignation de la place Bradley</h2>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Le vendredi 8 juillet, nous avons accueilli la famille Bradley et ses amis à l’occasion d’une cérémonie de désignation commémorative à la place Bradley, sur la rue Stittsville Main. Trois générations de Bradley – Silas, Sid et Ross – sont des chefs d’entreprise de longue date à Stittsville. Pendant plus d’un demi-siècle, le nom Bradley a été bien en vue sur la rue Main grâce à Bradley’s Insurance, et la famille a donné temps et argent à de nombreux organismes, œuvres de bienfaisance, groupes communautaires et équipes sportives mineures du coin. Vous pouvez voir sa plaque sur le côté ouest de la rue Stittsville Main, le long du Sentier transcanadien.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Petite histoire de la famille, présentée à <a href="https://stittsvillecentral.ca/from-early-roots-to-a-park-in-their-name-the-bradley-family-is-a-stittsville-foundation-to-be-honoured/">StittsvilleCentral.ca</a> :</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Silas Bradley naît en 1898 et épouse Mary Jean (née Argue) le 24 septembre 1930. Ils ont quatre enfants : Sid, Helen, Beth et Grace. Silas, personnalité influente de l’époque, est à la recherche d’un nouveau défi après avoir quitté la production laitière; il commence à s’impliquer dans sa communauté en 1956. Dans ce nouveau chapitre de sa vie, il fonde Bradley’s Insurance et travaille alors à partir d’un loyer d’une pièce sur la rue Main. Bradley’s Insurance allait devenir une institution de notre communauté pendant 63 ans.</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Silas est bien connu et respecté pour son travail acharné dans notre communauté. Il est officier élu de la loge d’Orange n<sup>o</sup> 246, Hazeldean; avant de servir à titre de préfet de Stittsville, Silas est membre puis président (en 1958) du conseil scolaire de South Carleton; maître de la loge maçonnique d’Hazeldean; marguillier élu de l’église anglicane St. Thomas; juge de paix du Comté de Carleton; et membre fondateur du Club Lions du district de Stittsville. Il est en outre préfet pendant 8 ans à l’incorporation de Stittsville, en 1961 – précédemment Village partiellement autonome au sein du canton de Goulbourn pendant 5 ans –, premier de deux préfets du Village incorporé de Stittsville, de 1961 à 1968. Pendant son mandat de préfet, Stittsville devient une municipalité établie sur de solides bases financières. Il préside également à une période de construction considérable à Stittsville. Comme vous pouvez le constater, Silas n’est pas un producteur laitier comme les autres; il est brillant et extrêmement présent dans notre communauté, assumant toujours des rôles de leadership.</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Son fils, Sid, le rejoint à Bradley’s Insurance en 1959. S’intéressant à la politique, Silas transmet en effet l’entreprise à Sid, qui en prend les rênes et en assure la croissance. De bien des manières, Sid suit les traces de son père. Il est lui aussi toujours à la recherche d’un défi. Il est membre fondateur du Club Lions du district de Stittsville. Son intérêt pour les chevaux de courses (surtout les ambleurs), et leur acquisition, contribue à une bonne part de l’activité dans sa vie et à la ferme des Bradley. Il fonde une société immobilière et est un grand amateur de plein air, membre du club de chasse et pêche du lac St. Patrick pendant plusieurs décennies. Sid a toujours eu l’esprit communautaire, et par l’intermédiaire de Bradley’s Insurance, on peut toujours compter sur lui pour soutenir nos nombreux organismes de service, équipes sportives, œuvres de bienfaisance, activités spéciales et tournois de golf. Sid joue au sein des équipes de hockey locales et passe des heures au club de golf du coin, le Glen-Mar à l’époque. [&#8230;]</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Ross achète l’entreprise à Sid en 1998 et joue un rôle crucial dans la création des succursales dans la vallée de l’Outaouais, plus à l’est et au-delà. Il est la troisième génération de la famille à prendre les rênes de l’entreprise. Puis le fils de Ross, Branden, représentant de la quatrième génération, se joint à l’entreprise, suivant les traces de son père, de son grand-père et de son arrière-grand-père.</em></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>À la vente de Bradley’s Insurance à BrokerLink, en septembre 2019, le service personnalisé dont profitent les résidents de Stittsville depuis des années se poursuit. Ross envoie un message personnel à tous ses fidèles clients, actuels et passés, pour les remercier de leur clientèle pendant six décennies. Il remercie également ses employés pour leur travail et leur dévouement, qui ont contribué à la réussite de l’entreprise.</em><em> </em></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<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><strong>Pour consulter le Plan et exprimer votre avis</strong></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>
<li>plantation d’arbres de rue et initiatives d’écologisation;</li>
<li>amélioration de l’embellissement et du mobilier de rue;</li>
<li>amélioration du transport actif et des intersections protégées (piétons, cyclistes, etc.);</li>
<li>arrêts d’autobus prioritaires;</li>
<li>amélioration du sentier et du passage du ruisseau Poole;</li>
<li>amélioration de la rue Abbott et du passage du sentier transcanadien;</li>
<li>installation de dispositifs d’éclairage décoratif;</li>
<li>amélioration des feux de circulation pour piétons – l’installation de nouveaux feux de circulation dans le cœur du village (entre la promenade Wintergreen et le croissant Brae) pourrait être la première composante de ce plan à être mise en œuvre. Une maquette des nouvelles installations est en cours d’élaboration et sera publiée sur ce site au printemps 2022.</li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version francaise suit</em></p>
<p>City crews will be doing maintenance work along the Trans Canada Trail in the coming weeks, with some closures planned that will impact to trail users.</p>
<p><strong>Stage 1</strong> is planned to commence Tuesday, August 24 and will include ditch cleaning (removal of excess sediment from the bottom of the drain) between Henry Walker Drive (walking trail) and the Trans-Canada Trail.  Work is expected to take a day to complete and will require the temporary closure of the Trans-Canada Trail and Henry Walker Drive (trail) for safety precautions, given that heavy equipment is necessary to complete this exercise.</p>
<p><strong>Stage 2</strong> is planned to start in September/October (weather permitting) and will include brushing along the drain for future equipment access and the removal of beaver dams. This section of work will be completed between the Trans Canada Trail and the Trail-Lookout.  The work is expected to be completed over the course of a few days and will require the temporary closure of the Trans-Canada Trail for safety precautions.  It is not expected that the closure of the Henry Walker Drive trail will be needed for this stage.</p>
<p>Barricades and signage will be posted on site at the trailheads to indicate that the trail will be temporarily closed during both stages.</p>
<p>Detailed consultation has been conducted between environmental consultants, MVCA, DFO and MNRF, and all necessary permits/approvals have been obtained for this maintenance exercise. Kilgour &amp; Associates has been retained by the City as an environmental consultant to assist with the project and a representative will be present during both stages of maintenance.</p>
<p>The City of Ottawa Municipal Drainage Unit completed a segment of maintenance on the <em>Hazeldean Road Municipal Drain</em> last fall, as required under <em>Section 74</em> of the <em>Drainage Act</em>. Work is limited to 5% of the drain length per year.</p>
<hr />
<h2>Travaux d’entretien à venir le long du Sentier transcanadien</h2>
<p>Les équipes de la Ville effectueront des travaux d’entretien le long du Sentier transcanadien au cours des prochaines semaines, et certaines des fermetures prévues auront des répercussions sur les utilisateurs du sentier.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>L’étape 1, qui devrait commencer le mardi 24 août, prévoit le nettoyage des fossés (retrait de l’excédent de sédiments au fond du drain) entre la promenade Henry-Walker (sentier pédestre) et le Sentier transcanadien.</strong> Les travaux, qui devraient durer une journée, nécessiteront la fermeture temporaire du Sentier transcanadien et de la promenade Henry-Walker (sentier) par mesure de sécurité, compte tenu de l’équipement lourd nécessaire au déroulement des travaux.</p>
<p><strong>L’étape 2, qui devrait commencer en septembre ou en octobre (si les conditions météorologiques le permettent), comprendra des travaux de brossage le long du drain pour permettre l’accès futur de l’équipement, de même que l’enlèvement des barrages de castor.</strong> Cette partie des travaux sera effectuée entre le Sentier transcanadien et le belvédère. Les travaux, qui devraient prendre quelques jours, nécessiteront la fermeture temporaire du Sentier transcanadien par mesure de sécurité. On ne s’attend pas à ce que le sentier de la promenade Henry-Walker doive être fermé à cette étape‑ci.</p>
<p>Des barrières et des panneaux seront installés au début du sentier pour indiquer que ce dernier sera temporairement fermé au cours des deux étapes.</p>
<p>Des consultations approfondies ont été menées entre les experts-conseils en environnement, l’Office de protection de la nature de la vallée de la rivière Mississippi, le ministère des Pêches et des Océans et le ministère des Richesses naturelles et des Forêts, et tous les permis et autorisations nécessaires ont été obtenus pour ces travaux d’entretien. La Ville a retenu les services du cabinet Kilgour &amp; Associates à titre d’experts-conseils en environnement pour l’aider dans ce projet, et un représentant du cabinet sera présent au cours des deux étapes des travaux.</p>
<p>L’Unité du drainage municipal de la Ville d’Ottawa a effectué une partie des travaux d’entretien requis sur le drain municipal du chemin Hazeldean l’automne dernier, conformément à l’article 74 de la <em>Loi sur le drainage</em>.Les travaux se limitent à 5 % de la longueur totale du drain par année.</p>

<p>The City is conducting public consultation on proposals to commemoratively rename parks across the City. In Stittsville, there are three parks considered for commemorative naming: Bradley Commons Park (to Bradley-Craig Park), Atlas Park (to Bob Mills Park), and the unnamed new trailhead on Stittsville Main Street (to Bradley Square).</p>
<p>If you would like to submit written comments regarding these proposals or obtain further information, please contact the commemorative naming team at <a href="mailto:namingottawa@ottawa.ca">namingottawa@ottawa.ca</a> and copy Glen Gower at <a href="mailto:glen.gower@ottawa.ca">glen.gower@ottawa.ca</a>. Comments must be made in writing and received no later than Friday, August 27.</p>
<p>To find more information about commemorative naming in Ottawa, as well as the details for each proposal across the City, <a href="https://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/your-city-government/policies-and-administrative-structure/administrative-policies/commemorative-naming#current-commemorative-naming-proposals">click here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Bradley-Craig Park (currently Bradley Commons Park, 331 Cranesbill Road)</strong></p>
<p>In recognition of the historical significance of the Bradley-Craig family, the City has been asked to name the Bradley Commons Park, located at 331 Cranesbill Road, Bradley-Craig Park. The family operated the farm in Stittsville for more than 180 years and their farmstead was an agricultural model for dairy farmers throughout the region. The farmland was fertile, well-watered and largely stone-free. The heritage designated, large, red barn and brick farmhouse, known as the Bradley-Craig farm, still stands and can be seen off Hazeldean Road.</p>
<p><strong>Bob Mills Park (currently Atlas Park, 875 Atlas Terrace)</strong></p>
<p>In recognition of extensive community service, the City has been asked to name Atlas Park, located at 875 Atlas Terrace, Bob Mills Park. Bob Mills worked for 25 years as the Director of Parks and Recreation for Goulbourn Township. He developed numerous parks, ball fields and hockey arenas during this time, enhancing recreation in the Stittsville community.</p>
<p><strong>Bradley Square (Trailhead on Stittsville Main Street, currently unnamed)</strong></p>
<p>In recognition of extensive community service, the City has been asked to name the new Stittsville Main Street sitting area, located across from Village Square Park at 6000 Abbott Street East, Bradley Square. Ross Bradley and the Bradley Family have been long-time residents and business leaders in the Stittsville community. Ross is a philanthropist that has donated time and money to many local organizations, charities, community groups and minor sports teams.</p>

<h2>La Ville demande l&#8217;avis du public sur les propositions de noms commémoratifs</h2>
<p>La Ville mène une consultation publique sur différentes propositions visant à attribuer un nouveau nom commémoratif à certains parcs de la Ville. On envisage ainsi d’attribuer un nom commémoratif à trois parcs de Stittsville, à savoir le parc de Bradley Commons (qui sera renommé parc Bradley-Craig), le parc Atlas (qui sera renommé parc Bob-Mills) et un nouveau début de sentier sans nom sur la rue Stittsville Main (qui sera nommé place Bradley).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Pour soumettre des commentaires écrits concernant ces propositions ou obtenir de plus amples renseignements à leur sujet, nous vous invitons à communiquer avec l’équipe d’attribution de noms commémoratifs à <a href="mailto:nommezottawa@ottawa.ca">nommezottawa@ottawa.ca</a> en vous assurant mettre Glen Gower (<a href="mailto:glen.gower@ottawa.ca">glen.gower@ottawa.ca</a>) en copie conforme de votre courriel. Les commentaires devront être formulés par écrit et être reçus au plus tard le vendredi 27 août.</p>
<p>Pour en savoir plus sur l’attribution de noms commémoratifs à Ottawa et pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur chacune des propositions à la Ville, cliquez ici.</p>
<p>La Ville mène une consultation publique sur les propositions visant à nommer :</p>
<ul>
<li>le parc de Bradley Commons, situé au 331, chemin Cranesbill, « parc Bradley-Craig »;</li>
<li>le parc Atlas, situé au 875, terrasse Atlas, « parc Bob-Mills »;</li>
<li>la nouvelle aire de repos de la rue Main à Stittsville, située en face du parc Village Square, au 6000, rue Abbott Est, « place Bradley »;</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Parc Bradley-Craig (quartier 6 – Stittsville)</strong></p>
<p>En reconnaissance de l&#8217;importance historique de la famille Bradley-Craig, on a demandé à la Ville de nommer le parc de Bradley Commons, situé au 331, chemin Cranesbill, « parc Bradley-Craig ». La famille a exploité une ferme à Stittsville pendant plus de 180 ans, et leur ferme était un modèle agricole pour les producteurs laitiers de toute la région. Les terres agricoles étaient fertiles, bien arrosées et en grande partie exemptes de pierres. Les animaux étaient importants pour l&#8217;élevage, et la famille était très fière de ses beaux chevaux et de l&#8217;entraînement rigoureux de ces animaux. La grande grange rouge et la ferme en briques à valeur patrimoniale, connues sous le nom de ferme Bradley-Craig, existent toujours, et on peut les voir depuis le chemin Hazeldean.</p>
<p><strong>Parc Bob-Mills (quartier 6 – Stittsville)</strong></p>
<p>La Ville d’Ottawa a reçu une demande en vue de nommer « parc Bob-Mills » le parc Atlas, situé au 875, terrasse Atlas, en hommage aux nombreux services rendus par Bob Mills à la communauté d&#8217;Ottawa. Bob Mills a travaillé pendant 25 ans comme directeur, Parcs et loisirs du canton de Goulbourn. Pendant cette période, il a aménagé de nombreux parcs, terrains de baseball et arénas de hockey, améliorant ainsi les loisirs dans la communauté de Stittsville.</p>
<p><strong>Place Bradley (quartier 6 – Stittsville)</strong></p>
<p>La Ville d’Ottawa a reçu une demande en vue de nommer « place Bradley » la nouvelle aire de repos de la rue Main à Stittsville, située en face du parc Village Square au 6000, rue Abbott Est, en hommage aux nombreux services rendus par Ross Bradley et sa famille à la communauté d&#8217;Ottawa. Ross Bradley et la famille Bradley sont des résidents et des chefs d&#8217;entreprise de longue date dans la communauté de Stittsville. Ross est un philanthrope qui a fait don de son temps et de son argent à de nombreux organismes locaux, organismes de bienfaisance, groupes communautaires et équipes sportives de ligues mineures.</p>

<p>Maintenance is planned next Monday for a small section of the Hazeldean Road Municipal Drain, from West Ridge Drive. Part of the Trans Canada Trail immediately west of West Ridge Drive will be closed during this period. The work is expected to last two days.</p>
<p>The maintenance involves brushing along one side of the drain followed by a minor clean-out to remove excess sediment from the bottom of the drain.  Heavy equipment will be used so it&#8217;s necessary to restrict access along the trail to ensure public safety.  As such, part of the Trans Canada Trail,  immediately west of West Ridge Dr., will be closed during this period. <a href="http://glengower.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Hazeldean-Rd-Drain-Mtce-Info-Sept-2020.pdf">Click here for more information about the work being done&#8230;</a></p>
<p>The required permits and authorizations have been received from the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA), Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF), and the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans.  An environmental consultant has conducted an environmental assessment of the proposed work, including the assessment of local butternut trees, and a biologist will be on-site for the duration of the work.</p>

<h2>Fermeture temporaire la semaine prochaine du Sentier transcanadien, à l’ouest de la promenade West Ridge</h2>
<p>Des travaux d&#8217;entretien sont prévus lundi prochain pour une petite section du drain municipal du chemin Hazeldean, à partir de la promenade West Ridge. La section du Sentier transcanadien située immédiatement à l’ouest de la promenade West Ridge sera fermée pendant ces travaux, qui devraient durer deux jours.</p>
<p>Dans le cadre des travaux d’entretien, on procédera au brossage le long d’un côté du drain, puis à un nettoyage rudimentaire mineur afin d’enlever l’excédent de sédiments dans le bas du drain. Comme on aura recours à de l’équipement lourd, il sera nécessaire de limiter l’accès le long du sentier afin d’assurer la sécurité du public. C&#8217;est pourquoi la section du Sentier transcanadien située immédiatement à l’ouest de la promenade West Ridge sera fermée pendant cette période.</p>
<p>La Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, le ministère des Richesses naturelles et des Forêts de l’Ontario et Pêches et Océans Canada ont accordé les autorisations et les permis requis. Le cabinet Kilgour &amp; Associates Ltd. a réalisé l’évaluation environnementale des travaux proposés, entre autres l’évaluation des noyers cendrés du site, et un biologiste sera sur place pendant la durée des travaux.</p>
