Highway expansion study deadline redrawn gŏđŏ editionap.ca
“It (LRT study) needs to be integrated,” said Valerie McGirr, AECOM project mana- ger, during an April 3 phone interview. “You can’t consider one thing without the other.” Last November Ottawa city council ap- proved the municipality’s 2013 Transpor- tation Master Plan (TMP). Part of the plan includes the Stage 2 proposal for extending the light-rail transit Confederation Line east to Orléans. The extension project, cal- led Eastern Light Rail Transit (ELRT), would include the Highway 174 corridor. She noted that one detail of interest in the ELRT study will be the exact location decided for the extension route line into Orléans. It may be located either to the left or the right of Highway 174 or it could fol- low right down the highway median. “Until those things (route lines) are consi- dered,” McGirr said, “the widening of the highway can’t progress.” The United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR) is the lead agency for the 174/17 EA in partnership with the City of Ottawa. The review includes County Road 17 from the Landry Road intersection in Rockland
west to where it connects with Highway 174 at the Canaan Road intersection and from there west through Cumberland to the outskirts of Orlèans and the Trim Road intersection with Highway 174. The provincial transportation ministry has budgeted $5 million for the EA. That includes $4 million for the Rockland/Cum- berland portion and $1 million to deal with Ottawa’s concerns about traffic impact around the Trim Road intersection and also between there and the Innes Road link to
the highway. UCPR Public Works Director Marc Cler- mont is confident that the timeline exten- sion for the EA won’t create any budget overrun problems. The counties and Ot- tawa just need approval from the ministry for an extension on the funding allocation deadline. “We’ve given them (ministry officials) a heads-up about this,” he said, adding that a clause in the ministry funding approval covers extension requests.

ROCKLAND | It was supposed to wrap up this year but now a study on widening the highway link between Rockland and Orlé- ans may not finish until next year. The environmental assessment review (EA) on the Highway 174/County Road 17 expansion project will now take three years to complete instead of the original two years as planned. The reason is that the City of Ottawa is also doing an environmental assessment of its planned light-rail transit extension from Blair Station in Ottawa to Trim Road in Orléans. AECOM, the consultant firm working on the 174/17 EA review, reported in an email update that the second round of public consultations on the expansion proposal is now schedule for early in 2015. The original plan called for those public sessions to take last fall but Ottawa’s light-rail transit study (LRT) forced the change.
