CBC Ottawa Morning – Bridge Debate

Listen to a bridge debate aired this morning on CBC:

http://www.cbc.ca/ottawamorning/archives.html

Here’s a summary of the main points made by Judy Lishman, Chair of the Manor Park Bridge Committee:

  • Council has missed an opportunity to have a say in the matter. Besides, it is not a funding partner.
  • Out of the studies done in the past, Kettle was in fact not chosen as the top option.
  • The Phase I study didn’t look at mitigation issues. That will come later.
  • Both provinces have decided that three choices deserve a second look.
  • Kettle would take traffic through the longest and most heavily populated corridor.

    I was annoyed by the claim made by Mr.Sharma that the Duck Island corridor would be within 1KM of parts of Orleans. This is patently untrue — it is approximately 2KM from the closest houses in Orleans. It is closer than that to North Beacon, however: about 1KM.
