Transportation Committee recommends 2nd site for futher study

Following the strong public reaction against the consultants’ presentation of Kettle Island as the preferred corridor at the Transportation Committee meeting yesterday, the committee is recommending that the NCC take forward a second corridor, at Lower Duck Island, for further study in Phase 2 of the project.

See the CBC News article here:
CBC Ottawa: NCC should look at 2nd site for interprovincial bridge: Ottawa committee

City council must decide Wednesday whether to endorse the committee’s recommendation and ask the NCC to consider both east-end corridors for the second phase of the environmental assessment study.

If you haven’t already done so, now would be a very good time to send comments to your mayor and city councilors.

Mayor Larry O’Brien can be reached here: http://www.mayorlarry.ca/tell-larry/

Councilors can be reached here: http://www.ottawa.ca/city_hall/mayor_council/councillors/index_en.html

Alternatively, you can send an email directly to andrew.lomas@ottawa.ca and ask that your message be circulated to all councillors.

    This blog was started by Ottawa residents concerned about the selection methodology for a new bridge and inter-provincial truck highway. Our research has led us to believe that Kettle Island is a bad choice for our region, yet we represent no particular group or neighbourhood.
