Consultant chosen for highway study
Results of the EA will take at least two years to work out. The focus of the study is to determine the impact of several possible options for widen- ing the highway connection between Rockland and Orléans up to the Trim Road intersection to four-lanes and the section of Highway 174 between Orléans and Ottawa between the Trim Road intersection and the Highway 174-417 in- terchange to six lanes. The choice of AECOM Canada was made June 11 by a joint team of engineers and staff from the UCPR and the City of Ottawa. The study cost is projected at $3.51 million, including HST, and covered through a $4 million provincial grant to the UCPR and a $1 million provincial grant to the City of Ottawa. Both the provincial and federal governments have also committed $40 million each towards the actual construction costs when the expan- sion project itself begins. “We’ve been talking about this environmental assessment study for a long time, and it’s nice to see that today (June 11), we’re making some concrete progress,” stated François St-Amour, UCRP warden. “We’re finally moving forward.”

The United Counties of Prescott-Russell coun- cil and administration (UCPR) have settled on AECOM Canada Ltd, a consortium of techni- cal and management support services, to take the lead on the environmental assessment (EA) study for the expansion of County Road 17 and Highway 174 between the town of Rockland and the city of Orléans. AECOM Canada was among the three finalists out of five firms short-listed in the competition for the contract. “Our process analyzed the proposals based on overall technical score and the cost,” stated Marc Clermon, UCPR public works director, in a news release. “And not only did AECOM’s proposal have the highest score, it also had the lowest price.”

Cardinal Village housing project proposed in Cumberland ward

Highway 174 past the Trim Road intersection and is on both sides of the highway from Old Montréal Road to Ted Kelly Lane. The Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) has made a ruling on Amendment 76 to the City of Ot- tawa’s Official Plan, which would deal with the project. The suggested housing density of the devel- opment is estimated at 34 units per hectare and would be 55 per cent single-family homes, 35 per cent semi-detached townshouses, and 10 per cent apartment buildings. There is a sugges- tion for a large commercial building located on a 19-hectare area along the highway with a traf- fic light to assist vehicles turning on and off the highway. Public consultation on the project is required, including presentation of a community design plan for review. Blais’ open house session will be the first public information event in that process. “I’ve often heard that we need to plan new communities right, recognizing the need for in- frastructure and planning for parks and public transit,” stated Blais. “By getting feedback from the community at the earliest stage, I hope we can make this a signature suburban community in Ottawa. The June 27 open house is from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Capital City Church at 1123 Old Montréal Road.

The proposal calls for about 4800 houses able to accommodate 13,000 new residents on the western edge of Cumber- land. Right now Tamarack owns 180 hectares of the 225-hectare parcel involved.

The National Capital Commission (NAC) has presented 10,000 tulip bulbs to the Prescott- Russell Recreational Trail Committee (PRRT) to help the group with its beautification project for the trail. The bulbs are destined for flower beds around the trail pavilions in Hammond, Bourget, Plantagenet, Vankleek Hill, and St-Eugène. What the trail committee needs now is a large enough force of volunteer gardening enthusiasts to help with the planning and planting. “In time, our precious cargo will be brought to the participating communities,” stated Louise Bissonnette, PRRT project officer, “and with the help of a landscaper and community volunteers, we will proceed with the planting.” The PRRT committee is organizing a new sub- committee of volunteers for the tulip project. The committee would like representatives from every community located along the Prescott- Russell Trail sitting on the sub-committee. Two or three meetings are anticipated over the sum- mer months to begin the planning and prepa-
