										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Can City Council pause housing development in Stittsville until Carp Road gets widened, or until LRT construction is finished?</p>
<p>That’s a question I get a lot from residents, and it sounds like a straightforward and logical idea. But under Provincial legislation, the answer is simply <strong>“no.”</strong></p>
<p>We can stop a residential development if it doesn’t have water and sewer capacity, or if there’s no hydro hook-up. But as long as there is <em>some</em> road access, construction can proceed. (We can’t stop development because of a lack of schools or family doctors either.)</p>
<p>It’s hugely frustrating for residents. Our suburbs are growing fast right now. But the new transit projects and road upgrades planned to support this growth may not arrive for years.</p>
<p>This is frustrating for City Councillors too. In fact, last year City Council directed staff to <em>“</em><em>review and report on the feasibility of establishing transportation infrastructure conditions that must be satisfied before subdivision or high-density development applications can be approved in suburban expansion area lands”</em>. In other words: can we hold off development until roads and transit are ready for it?</p>
<p>We got a response from the City’s transportation planning department last month. It acknowledges that rapid growth—especially in suburban areas—puts increasing pressure on the transportation system. And staff acknowledge the need to invest in growth-related transportation infrastructure projects, partly with the proceeds from Development Charges. But in terms of delaying development to allow transportation infrastructure to catch up, the answer is clear. The City does not have the legislative authority to do this. <em>(<a href="https://glengower.ca/?attachment_id=22825">You can read the entire memo here.</a>)</em></p>
<p>The City can (and does) require developers to build “local services,” meaning transportation infrastructure to service a specific site. These include residential roads and sidewalks that are internal to the neighbourhood, plus traffic signals, roundabouts, and intersections where the local roads meet major collectors and arterials.</p>
<p>But we can’t require them to pay for a major upgrade to Carp Road, for example. That’s the City of Ottawa’s responsibility.</p>
<p>We also can’t make a development conditional on transit service. In our new Official Plan, we tried to add policy to require transit service in new neighbourhoods, but the Province overruled us.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, this technical answer isn’t very satisfying. The current system is not fair to residents who wait for years for new infrastructure while watching local roads get more congested and more dangerous.</p>
<h3>So what can we do?</h3>
<p>One thing we can do is work with developers to address community traffic and infrastructure concerns. For example, I worked with Lépine and they agreed to <a href="https://glengower.ca/notebook/notebook-motion-delays-construction-at-5000-robert-grant/">delay construction of part of the development at 5000 Robert Grant Avenue</a> until Robert Grant Avenue is built to at least Maple Grove Road.</p>
<p>Sometimes developers will voluntarily choose to build major road projects ahead of the City’s schedule, when they need them for access to the neighbourhood. A good example is the <a href="https://glengower.ca/notebook/notebook-council-gives-go-ahead-for-next-section-of-robert-grant-avenue/">Robert Grant Avenue extension from Abbott to Hazeldean</a>. Developers advanced the construction to give better access to Minto&#8217;s Abbott’s Run neighbourhood and will be reimbursed later by the City.</p>
<p>We can also request developer-funded “early service agreements” to bring transit sooner to a neighbourhood. This kind of agreement was in place in the <a href="https://stittsvillecentral.ca/next-bus-for-blackstone-arrives-in-june/">early stages of the Blackstone neighbourhood</a>. Again, it was voluntary for the developer. Meanwhile, staff are changing City policies so that we can get roundabouts or traffic signals installed earlier at major intersections. Instead of waiting for several years until there’s enough traffic to “warrant” traffic lights, the intent is to get these built at the very start of a subdivision project, before people move in.</p>
<p>There’s a great example of this at Fernbank and Edenwylde in Stittsville. The intersection didn’t technically qualify for traffic lights under the old policy, and so residents have been living with a dangerous pedestrian crossing for several years now. Traffic lights will <a href="https://glengower.ca/information/traffic-safety-measures-planned-for-stittsville-in-2026-2027/">finally be installed next year</a>. Under the new policy, however, those traffic lights would likely have been installed at the start of construction.</p>
<p>Same thing for stop signs and pedestrian crossings. The old policy only allowed for installation once there was enough traffic and people in the neighbourhood. The new policy would require them built from the get-go. That will improve safety, and should be less expensive too.</p>
<p>City staff are also making changes to financing. Council recently approved an “Agile Capital Budgeting Pilot for Road Growth Projects” to remove bottlenecks and get more projects started. Staff are also starting design and property acquisition sooner. All of these changes would likely have helped get shovels in the ground <a href="https://glengower.ca/tag/carp-road/">sooner for the Carp Road upgrade</a>.</p>
<h3>The funding conundrum</h3>
<p>The biggest figurative roadblock to getting roads and transit built faster is funding. Most major projects are funded through Development Charges, which can take a long time to accumulate before a project can start. We could borrow money to beef up our roads budget, but municipalities operate under strict limits to how much we can borrow. Plus, the cost of interest gets passed onto your property tax bill—and that is significant when the debt is in the hundreds of millions of dollars.</p>
<p>I’m cautiously optimistic that we may be on the cusp of a new municipal-provincial-federal funding arrangement for infrastructure. The <a href="https://pub-ottawa.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=ba9d583c-b16d-4f97-9e87-a7b16b5825f4&amp;Agenda=Agenda&amp;lang=English&amp;Item=70&amp;Tab=attachments">Development Charge Reduction Program</a> includes replacing DC’s on new homes with a direct transfer of up-front funds to municipalities. If that becomes a permanent program and funding source, it could help cities advance more of their transportation projects in a faster timeframe. We’ll see.</p>
<p>So in the near term, growth is likely to continue outpacing infrastructure. But if the City and Province can accelerate road and transit projects through policy changes and better financing arrangements, the gap will start to shrink—not by slowing development, but by building infrastructure faster.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p>The City’s <a href="https://ottawa.ca/en/planning-development-and-construction/official-plan-and-master-plans/transportation-master-plan">Transportation Master Plan</a> (TMP) sets out how the city will plan, develop, and operate its walking, cycling, transit and road networks over the next few decades. It’s meant to reflect the City’s new <a href="https://ottawa.ca/en/planning-development-and-construction/official-plan-and-master-plans/official-plan/new-official-plan">Official Plan (2022)</a> by accommodating population growth to 2046, and supporting a shift to sustainable transportation modes (walking, cycling, transit).</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;ve included descriptions of each project below.</p>
<p><em>(Note: An earlier version of this map had an error showing the future Robert Grant Avenue (2) in the wrong location. The map below is revised and corrected.)</em></p>

<h2>BLOC-NOTES : Carte des éventuels projets de transport dans Stittsville</h2>
<p>Le Plan directeur des transports (PDT) de la Ville fait état des moyens grâce auxquels la Ville planifiera, aménagera et exploitera dans les prochaines décennies ses réseaux de déplacements à pied, à vélo, dans les transports en commun et ses réseaux routiers. Ce plan, qui s’inscrit dans le cadre du nouveau <a href="https://ottawa.ca/fr/urbanisme-amenagement-et-construction/plans-officiel-et-directeurs/nouveau-plan-officiel">Plan officiel de la Ville (2022)</a>, vise à adapter ces réseaux à la croissance de la population jusqu’en 2046 et à privilégier les déplacements qui font appel aux modes de transport durables (soit les déplacements à pied, à vélo et dans les transports en commun).</p>
<p>La version à jour du Plan directeur des transports, qui a été approuvée en juillet 2025, prévoit de nombreux projets absolument nécessaires pour Stittsville. Les résidents nous posent souvent des questions pour savoir quand ces projets seront réalisés. La durée du calendrier est assez vaste, et nous mettons tout en œuvre pour réaliser tous ces projets dans les plus brefs délais.</p>
<p>J’ai demandé au personnel de la Ville de mettre au point une carte représentant tous les projets de Stittsville selon le PDT. Vous pouvez cliquer sur cette carte ou sur la légende pour l’agrandir. Vous trouverez ci‑après la description de chaque projet.</p>

<h2>Le Comité approuve des investissements dans les infrastructures de transport et les initiatives vertes</h2>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Le Comité de l’infrastructure et des travaux publics a approuvé aujourd’hui <a href="https://pub-ottawa.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=6a115c87-82f7-41e9-9b2e-85eb77b508f5&amp;Agenda=Agenda&amp;lang=French&amp;Item=23&amp;Tab=attachments" data-extlink="">sa part du budget provisoire de 2026</a>, qui comprend un investissement en immobilisations de 880,7 millions de dollars pour le renouvellement et le développement des infrastructures de transport, comprenant les routes, les ponts, les trottoirs, les sentiers, les ponceaux et les mesures de circulation améliorées. Dans le cadre de ces investissements, la Ville consacrera 557,7 millions de dollars pour des projets visant à réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre et 307,1 millions de dollars pour des projets qui renforcent la résilience climatique. La Ville augmentera son budget d’opérations hivernales de 3 à 103,4 millions de dollars.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Les investissements se concentrent sur des projets intégrés de routes, en réparant et en modernisant des routes, des ponts, des trottoirs et des sentiers ainsi que des infrastructures cyclables pour répondre aux besoins de tous les usagers de la route. Les projets comprennent :</p>
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>239,6 millions de dollars pour des projets intégrés de routes, de réseaux d’aqueduc et d’égouts, y compris 70 millions de dollars pour le réasphaltage des routes;</li>
<li>41,3 millions de dollars pour le renouvellement et la remise en état des ponts et structures de transport;</li>
<li>38,1 millions de dollars pour remplacer des véhicules, y compris pour poursuivre la transition du parc automobile municipal vers des véhicules électriques, hybrides et à faibles émissions;</li>
<li>13,5 millions de dollars pour le renouvellement et la réparation des trottoirs et des sentiers;</li>
<li>2,5 millions de dollars en vue du remplacement des systèmes de paiement des frais de stationnement;</li>
<li>400 000 $ pour la mise en œuvre de programmes et d’infrastructures supplémentaires de stationnement pour les vélos, notamment des casiers sécurisés pour les vélos.</li>
</ul>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Le budget investit des sommes importantes pour soutenir la croissance et le développement partout dans la Ville, en garantissant l’infrastructure nécessaire pour répondre aux besoins croissants de la communauté et améliorer la mobilité. Ces investissements comprennent notamment :</p>
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>56,1 millions de dollars pour l’élargissement et le réaménagement du chemin Greenbank, entre la promenade Chapman Mills et le chemin Cambrian – qui nécessite un financement pluriannuel;</li>
<li>20,4 millions de dollars pour l’élargissement du chemin Carp, entre l’autoroute 417 et le chemin Hazeldean – qui nécessite un financement pluriannuel;</li>
<li>17,9 millions de dollars pour des mesures de contrôle d’intersections et des modifications au réseau pour réduire les ralentissements de la circulation;</li>
<li>11,8 millions de dollars pour améliorer des routes et entreprendre des projets de trottoirs dans les zones en voie d’aménagement;</li>
<li>8,2 millions de dollars pour des mesures visant à améliorer la rapidité et la fiabilité des déplacements;</li>
<li>5,9 millions de dollars pour améliorer la mobilité sur les rues principales dans les secteurs prioritaires de conception afin de promouvoir la densification et le développement économique;</li>
<li>3 millions de dollars pour la conception de l’élargissement du boulevard Brian Coburn, entre les chemins Mer Bleue et Tenth Line.</li>
</ul>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Le budget comprend également des projets visant à bâtir une ville plus connectée qui offre davantage d’options de mobilité fiables, sécuritaires et accessibles, soit :</p>
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>32,1 millions de dollars pour des installations pour les piétons et les cyclistes en vue d’aménager des liaisons manquantes, d’améliorer la connectivité et de rehausser la sécurité;</li>
<li>5,8 millions de dollars pour les intersections qui répondent aux exigences en matière de nouveaux dispositifs de modération de la circulation, tels que des signaux et des carrefours giratoires;</li>
<li>Près de 2,6 millions de dollars pour les passages pour piétons;</li>
<li>500 000 $ pour de nouveaux lampadaires.</li>
</ul>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">La Ville a également économisé près de 3 millions de dollars grâce à des gains d’efficacité, comprenant notamment :</p>
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>1,3 million de dollars en gains d’efficacité liés au parc de véhicules;</li>
<li>355 000 $ en économies de dépenses discrétionnaires;</li>
<li>145 000 $ provenant de la rationalisation des installations et de l’amélioration de l’efficacité.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Le Comité prend connaissance des répercussions du projet de loi 60 sur le réseau de transport de la Ville</strong></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">L’annexe 5 du projet de <a href="https://pub-ottawa.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=6a115c87-82f7-41e9-9b2e-85eb77b508f5&amp;Agenda=Agenda&amp;lang=French&amp;Item=25&amp;Tab=attachments" data-extlink="">loi 60, <em>Loi de 2025 visant à lutter contre les retards et à construire plus rapidement</em></a>, modifie le <em>Code de la route</em> pour empêcher les municipalités de réduire le nombre de voies balisées qui peuvent être empruntées par des véhicules automobiles pour les transformer en bandes cyclables ou pour toute autre fin prévue dans le projet de loi. La Ville devra revoir les projets cyclables dans le Plan directeur des transports et le Plan d’action en matière de sécurité routière, ainsi que la conception des routes dans le cadre des projets intégrés de réfection de la chaussée.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Par conséquent, des projets dans le budget des immobilisations de 2026 ne pourront pas aller de l’avant. Le personnel rendra compte au Comité de l’infrastructure et des travaux publics au début du T2 de 2026 avec des recommandations sur la façon dont le financement alloué dans le budget provisoire de 2026 pourrait être utilisé à d’autres fins. Le personnel fournira également une évaluation plus approfondie des répercussions du projet de loi 60.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Le Conseil municipal examinera les recommandations de la réunion d’aujourd’hui, y compris le budget provisoire de 2026 le mercredi 10 décembre.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p>What a great day on Robert Grant Avenue last Saturday for our special &#8220;pre-opening&#8221; activities.</p>
<p>In the morning, nearly 200 hockey players took part in a ball hockey tournament and fundraiser organized by the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association. Then in the afternoon, a few hundred residents joined us to ride, roll, walk, and run along the 1.5-kilometre stretch of the road. We saw cyclists, joggers, rollerbladers, skateboarders, dog walkers, and more.</p>
<p>Thank you to all of the volunteers who made this event possible, and a big thanks to Minto, Cavanagh Construction, and Novotech for letting us use the road for the day!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>What&#8217;s next: </b></p>
<ul>
<li>There are still some finishing touches, including a final layer of asphalt, signage, road painting, landscaping, and completion of the intersection at Hazeldean and the roundabout at Abbott. We expect the road to open for all users in the next couple of weeks.</li>
<li>The right-of-way for Robert Grant is quite wide, to accommodate future expansion including additional bus-only lanes, as well as additional mixed traffic lanes.</li>
<li>In the future, Robert Grant Avenue will continue north of Hazeldean, connecting with Palladium Drive for access to the Queensway. There&#8217;s no timeline yet but it is a higher-priority road project in the City&#8217;s <a href="http://glengower.ca/development/notebook-transportation-master-plan-comes-to-committee-on-june-26/">Transportation Master Plan</a>.</li>
<li>The future LRT Stage 3 will have its final station at Hazeldean Road, next to Robert Grant Avenue.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Résumé: « Aperçu exclusif » de l’avenue Robert Grant</h2>
<p>Quelle belle journée sur l’avenue Robert Grant samedi dernier pour nos activités spéciales « avant l’ouverture ».</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Le matin, près de 200 joueurs de hockey ont participé à un tournoi de hockey-balle et à une collecte de fonds organisés par l’Association de hockey mineur de Stittsville. Puis, dans l’après-midi, quelques centaines de résidents se sont joints à nous pour faire du vélo, marcher et courir le long du tronçon de 1,5 kilomètre de la route. Nous avons vu des cyclistes, des joggeurs, des patineurs à roulettes, des planchistes, des personnes promenant leur chien, et plus encore.</p>
<p>Merci à tous les bénévoles qui ont rendu cet événement possible, et un grand merci à Minto, Cavanagh Construction et Novotech de nous avoir permis d’utiliser la route pour la journée!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Prochaines étapes : </b></p>
<ul>
<li>Il reste encore quelques touches finales, notamment une couche finale d’asphalte, de la signalisation, de la peinture routière, l’aménagement paysager et l’achèvement de l’intersection du chemin Hazeldean et du rond-point de la rue Abbott. Nous prévoyons que la route sera ouverte à tous les utilisateurs dans les prochaines semaines.</li>
<li>L’emprise pour l’avenue Robert Grant est assez large, afin de permettre une expansion future, notamment des voies réservées aux autobus supplémentaires, ainsi que des voies mixtes supplémentaires.</li>
<li>À l’avenir, l’avenue Robert Grant continuera au nord du chemin Hazeldean, se connectant à la promenade Palladium pour accéder au Queensway. Il n’y a pas encore de calendrier, mais c’est un projet routier prioritaire dans le <a href="http://glengower.ca/development/notebook-transportation-master-plan-comes-to-committee-on-june-26/">Plan directeur des transports</a> de la Ville.</li>
<li>L’Étape 3 du futur train léger aura sa dernière station sur le chemin Hazeldean, à côté de l’avenue Robert Grant.</li>
</ul>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit </em></p>
<p>Starting the week of August 25, a field crew will start borehole drilling for soil investigations at selected locations along Carp Road and Hazeldean. This is another step marking progress on the <a href="http://glengower.ca/information/carp-road-construction-update/">upgrade of Carp Road</a> to include two lanes in each direction and safe pedestrian and cycling infrastructure on both sides of the road.</p>
<p>It is expected that any drilling/excavations at any particular location will last only one day before the operation moves to a different location. To minimize traffic disruptions, the field crew will only be allowed to implement a temporary lane closure (with flagging) at a drilling location during “off peak” vehicle travel hours.</p>
<p>Work is expected to be completed by late September.</p>
<p>City staff are also finalizing an update to the final design of the road based on the <a href="https://ottawa.ca/en/parking-roads-and-travel/transportation-planning/environmental-assessment-completed-projects/carp-road-widening-environmental-assessment">2015 Carp Road Widening Environmental Assessment (2015)</a>, with updates to reflect newer accessibility requirements and safety designs. City staff will be holding a meeting this fall with more information about the final design and construction timelines and impacts. Stay tuned!</p>
<hr />
<h2>Mise à jour sur les travaux du chemin Carp</h2>
<p>À partir de la semaine du 25 août, l’équipe sur le terrain commencera à forer des trous de sonde pour prélever des échantillons de sol à des endroits déterminés le long du chemin Carp, à partir de l’intersection avec le chemin Hazeldean et jusqu’à l’autoroute 417. Il s’agit d’une autre étape importante du <a href="http://glengower.ca/information/carp-road-construction-update/">projet d’amélioration du chemin Carp</a>, qui comporte la création de deux voies dans chaque direction et d’infrastructures sécurisées pour les piétons et les cyclistes des deux côtés du chemin.</p>
<p>Le forage à chaque endroit ne devrait durer qu’une seule journée. Pour réduire au minimum les perturbations de la circulation, l’équipe sur le terrain pourra seulement fermer des voies temporairement (avec la présence de signaleurs) en dehors des périodes de pointe.</p>
<p>Les travaux devraient être terminés fin septembre.</p>
<p>Le personnel municipal met la dernière main au plan de conception final, conformément à <a href="https://ottawa.ca/fr/stationnement-routes-et-deplacements/planification-des-transports/projets-acheves-devaluation-environnementales/zone-devaluation-environnementale-de-lelargissement-du-chemin-carp">l’évaluation environnementale de l’élargissement du chemin Carp (2015)</a> et aux nouvelles exigences en matière d’accessibilité et de sécurité.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>La Ville organisera une séance d’information publique cet automne pour y présenter le plan de conception final, l’échéancier des travaux et les répercussions prévues. À suivre!</p>

<li>Construction is on track for an opening this fall, possibly as early as Thanksgiving weekend in October. The opening date depends on a number of factors including weather conditions.</li>
<li>All sewer, watermain, and non-hydro utility infrastructure has been built.</li>
<li>The north half of the road was paved last fall and the south half will be paved in July. Despite being paved, the roadway will still not be complete. Hydro Ottawa is installing new infrastructure in the corridor, and after that there is still work to finalize the grading and installing the remaining sidewalks, cycle tracks and landscaping along the roadway.</li>
<li>Work to upgrade the Robert Grant-Abbott roundabout to current active transportation standards are planned to being in early July. Cavanagh has secured a noise by-law exemption for overnight work July 2-4 at the roundabout in order to get some of the major excavation removal works completed. Work at the intersection is scheduled to be completed by Labour Day.</li>
<li>École Paul-Desmarais has constructed their new bus loop with access to Robert Grant Avenue. This should help alleviate congestion on Abbott during drop -off and pick-up, once Robert Grant Avenue is fully open this fall.</li>
<li>There is some additional paving and final works at the Hazeldean intersection that should be complete by Labour Day.</li>
</ul>

<h3>MISE À JOUR : Construction du prolongement de l’avenue Robert-Grant</h3>
<p>Voici la dernière mise à jour sur la construction de l’avenue Robert-Grant, entre les rues Abbott et Hazeldean.</p>
<ul>
<li>Les travaux de construction sont sur la bonne voie pour une ouverture cet automne, peut-être dès la fin de semaine de l’Action de grâce en octobre. La date d’ouverture dépend de multiples facteurs, dont les conditions météorologiques.</li>
<li>Toutes les infrastructures d’égouts, de conduites d’eau principales et de services publics non hydroélectriques ont été construites.</li>
<li>La moitié nord de la route a été asphaltée l’automne dernier et la moitié sud le sera en juillet. Même si elle sera asphaltée, la route ne sera toujours pas terminée. Hydro Ottawa installe de nouvelles infrastructures dans le corridor, et il faudra encore, par la suite, niveler la route et faire les trottoirs, les pistes cyclables et l’aménagement paysager le long de la chaussée.</li>
<li>Les travaux de mise à niveau du carrefour giratoire Robert Grant-Abbott aux normes actuelles de transport actif sont prévus pour le début de juillet. Cavanagh a obtenu une exemption au Règlement sur le bruit pour effectuer des travaux de nuit du 2 au 4 juillet au carrefour giratoire afin de terminer certains des principaux travaux d’enlèvement des excavations. Les travaux à l’intersection devraient être terminés d’ici la fête du Travail.</li>
<li>L’école Paul-Desmarais a construit sa nouvelle boucle pour autobus avec accès à l’avenue Robert-Grant. Cette solution devrait aider à réduire la congestion sur la rue Abbott au moment du débarquement et de l’embarquement des élèves, une fois que l’avenue Robert-Grant sera entièrement ouverte cet automne.</li>
<li>D’autres travaux de pavage et de finition à l’intersection du chemin Hazeldean devraient être terminés d’ici la fête du Travail.</li>
