NCC approves Phase 2A report; next steps contingent upon provincial funding

The NCC Board of Directors unanimously approved the Phase 2A report last week, with only three options to be considered. The flexibility to look at other options beyond the three identified corridors is not currently within the scope of the next phase of the project, where a final determination of the crossing location will be made.

As noted in an earlier posting, none of the three options currently being considered will sufficiently address the problems.

Although the NCC has approved the Phase 2A report and funding for the next phase, the project is effectively on hold until the Provinces provide their approval and associated funding.

    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. Anyone is invited and encouraged to participate in our blog.
