Don\u0027t blame developers for how poorly we build suburban communities currently. They are just following city guidelines.
Decades of underinvestment in affordable transit, combined with continued expansion of car-dependent suburban communities and a housing affordability crisis, has resulted in communities being built outside the greenbelt. These are some of the fastest-growing neighbourhoods in the city.Sign up to receive daily headline news from Ottawa Citizen, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
Consider the widening of the Airport Parkway. The city has committed billions to extend and improve the Trillium Line South rail line to improve transit access. The concept of induced demand suggests that widening a road doesn’t help with congestion. With the planned renewal of the South Keys shopping plaza and residential growth in Ottawa’s southern communities, adding more lanes of traffic will undermine the public transit investment.
Drivers use Navan Road, a decades-old, narrow, two-lane country road. The intersection at the Blackburn Bypass, a 1980s’ construction meant to address traffic demands in Orléans, is routinely congested for brief peak periods. The lack of a park-and-ride at Blair Station, combined with easy access to Highway 417 from Innes, makes for a difficult argument to take transit instead.Article content
