If you did not have the time to read the mayor’s full platform, you can read it at Mark Sutcliffe | A vision for Ottawa or in this document.
We particularly loved the Mayor’s Plan for Every Ward, where he makes firm commitments regarding our Kanata Golf Lands and Tech Park. See those below for the West End.
West End
Mark Sutcliffe’s plan will support job creation, protect rural village character and ensure growing western communities have the infrastructure and services they need.
- Work to preserve the Kanata Lakes Golf Course as publicly owned local greenspace.
- Support the Kanata North Tech Park development corporation in attracting commercial and residential investment and creating thousands of new jobs.
- Use planning tools to protect the rural village character of communities such as Carp and prevent their suburbanization.
- Fully fund the resurfacing of Carp Road and advance water service to the Carp Road Corridor business area.
- Work with the community and local builders to advance an entertainment and tourism hub alongside the westward expansion of Phase 3 LRT. The proposed district will integrate residential, commercial and attraction uses.
- Continue developing a health hub at Maple Grove.
- Advance neighbourhood traffic-calming measures in the Blackstone community, including on major roads like Cope, local roads like Paseana, and other new streets where speeding remains a concern.
- Fully fund and complete the widening of Terry Fox Drive and convert Terry Fox Drive and Eagleson Road to a roundabout.
As you will see, the mayor you elected has committed to doing many of the things residents and councillors have been asking for! I am really looking forward to getting the Mayor’s platform commitments completed over these next four years.
