AGRANDISSEMENT DE LA ͩͯͬ

Long history for highway issue

Rencontre publique Pour la première fois depuis les 40 dernières années, nous nous rapprochons d’un consensus politique pour l’agrandissement de la 174. Cependant, nous avons besoin d’aide afin de faire pression pour que l’agrandissement se réalise. Nous sommes à l’aube d’une expansion incroyable qui aura des retombées financières monumentales pour l’ensemble de l’Est ontarien. Nous allons tous en bénéficier... si le projet se réalise. SEREZ-VOUS des nôtres? VENEZ DÉMONTRER à nos gouvernements le besoin urgent de cette route. Si vous croyez dans le projet, nous vous prions de venir en grand nombre le 13 décembre, 2016 à 19h00 à la Salle de spectacle Optimiste de Rockland. Inscrivez-vous gratuitement avec Eventbrite sur la page Facebook de la Nouvelle Chambre de Commerce Clarence-Rockland. VENEZ GRANDIR AVEC NOUS!

The state of the highway connection between Rockland and Ottawa, and res- ponsibility for that link, has been a bone of contention for decades now. Next Tuesday’s open house in Rockland, on the County Road 17/Highway 174 situation, is just the latest in a long history of reviews, discus- sions, and debates over the stretch of road. During the last half of the last century, the route was part of Highway 17, a provincial government route that ran from the Québec border, near the Town of Hawkesbury, all the way along the Ottawa River, past the Town of Rockland, to connect with Ottawa. Then the Harris/Eaves Progressive Conservative government, in the late 1990s, downloaded responsibility for Highway 17 onto the United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR) and the City of Ottawa. The argu- ment was that the route served local traffic for the most part. The UCPR became responsible for main- taining its new county road while Ottawa was responsible for the 174 section west of the Canaan Road intersection. Both local governments have since been lobbying the province to take back responsibility for the entire route, arguing that the amount of com- muter traffic, including freight transports up from and going to Québec or Toronto and on to the United States, qualifies the 17/174 as an actual provincial highway.

Au cours de la dernière moitié du siècle dernier, les routes 17 et 174 faisaient partie de la route 17 provinciale, qui traverse la province. Puis, à la fin des années 1990, sous le règne des conservateurs, la responsabilité de cette portion de la 17 a été transférée aux Comtés unis de Prescott- Russell (UCPR) et à la Ville d’Ottawa. The link between Rockland and Orleans has remained a two-lane route despite ar- guments that it needed upgrading to four- lane status to handle the commuter traffic volume.A recent environmental assessment has concluded that four-laning the existing road is the best option for dealing with pres- ent congestion concerns and supporting inc- reasing traffic in future. Both the provincial and federal governments have promised a total of $80 million in support funding for such an expansion. But City of Ottawa estimates for the 174 section alone put the cost for upgrading that portion at more than $100million. The question of funding for the four-laning of the entire 174/17 link is still unanswered.

HIGHWAY ͩͯͬ EXPANSION

Public meeting For the first time in 40 years, we are close to a political consensus to expand highway 174. However, we need your help in order to pressure the decision makers to make this dream a reality. We are on the verge of the greatest economic event Eastern Ontario has ever known... if the highway is expanded. All residents stand to benefit from this expansion. WILL YOU take part? JOIN US to demonstrate your support to expand highway 174. If you believe in this initiative, you must attend the public meeting scheduled for December 13, 2016 at 7:00 pm at the Rockland Optimist Performance Hall (next to the YMCA). Please register for your free tickets with Eventbrite in the Events section of the Chamber’s Facebook page, Nouvelle Chambre de commerce Clarence-Rockland. COME GROW WITH US!
