NEWS FROM CITY HALL
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.
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. 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.

Surveying Crews in Rockcliffe
Surveying is occurring to clarify the location of underground
infrastructure, typically water & sewer lines. The work is
‘housekeeping’ in nature and is not indicative of any impending
rehabilitation works on any given street.
