May I suggest a superior crossing (two lanes) for trucks above the 174 to reach Innes road and east ottawa industrial parks and also reach Highway 417 without jamming the Split.

It provides good access to commercial/industrial land in both Gatineau and Ottawa (via HW 50-Gatineau Airport to HW 417). An extra lane on HW 174 on the Ontario side continues to be part of the solution so that people coming in from Eastern ON are not left behind. What is most valuable with this option: it has the least impact by significant amount on health and safety of people and communities both in Qc and ON as compared to any of the 3 corridors retained for the next phase. People should always count more than hardware. This LowerDuck-Beauchamp variation on Lower Duck corridor(6)really sounds like a more sensible option.
