Princess Road Reconstruction
The City of Ottawa is currently designing a roundabout at the
intersection of Princess Avenue, Rockcliffe Parkway, and Tea
House Road. The public meeting initially planned for March to
review the project details has been rescheduled to Thursday,
April 19th at Rockcliffe Park Public School. The meeting will be
in two parts; from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM in an Open House format
and from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM with a formal presentation from City
Staff followed by questions and discourse with a view to
reaching a consensus.
Construction is anticipated for 2007 on the Roundabout, and will
include construction on Princess Avenue/Lisgar Road if details
can be finalized. I expect that the public meeting will discuss
both projects.
Water, Sewer and Road Rehabilitation on Avon Lane and Mackay
Street
The 2007 Budget, approved last February, included funds for
water, sewer and road rehabilitation works on Avon Lane and
Mackay Street, between Queen Victoria and Dufferin Road.
Planning is still in its early stages. As soon as some drawings
are ready that will usefully illustrate the extent of the
intended works, especially of the surface details, affected
residents can expect a public meeting. This consultation with
the community will occur before the designs are finalized and
well before the actual work begins this summer. More details
will be provided as the design phase progresses.
Street Design Policy – Special Streets – Discussion Paper
This is to advise you that a discussion paper has been prepared
for public review with respect to Street Design Policy for
“Special Streets” in the City of Ottawa. “Special streets” can
be defined as those that rank the highest in the city for their
importance as the focus of intensely developed mixed-use
corridors. Beechwood would be an example in New Edinburgh but
not Avon Lane nor MacKay Street. This discussion paper outlines
criteria for determining which streets may be considered for
upgraded streetscape treatment in the city. It addresses related
issues, such as the burial of overhead utility cables, as well
as the financing and maintenance of such upgrades. It also
provides standards for the design of such special streets.
The discussion paper can be found on the City Website at the
following link.

A paper copy of this document can also be provided at your
request.
Please provide your comments to the planner in charge of this
project at the address provided below. Your comments in response
to the proposals in the discussion paper will be used to develop
the policy for the design of special streets throughout the
city.
