Imagine this scenario. It is 15 years from today. Kettle Island bridge is open to traffic. Thousands of Gatineau cars pour onto Ottawa streets ahead of Orleans residents trying to get to work downtown. A new couple is moving here from Toronto. They ask their future coworkers where to buy a house. They say, "stay away from Orleans, they have traffic problems like no other part of town." If this is obvious to people moving here. Properties values have no choice but to drop. Does this seem outrageous to think. Imagine that in a pamphlet to Orleans residents.
