Seconded by Councillor M. McRae
WHEREAS City Council has
rejected the LRT plan for the City’s southern growth area (Leitrim and

AND WHEREAS providing rapid

critical to ensuring a proper transportation system for southern Ottawa;

significant lead time;

continues to occur in the southern growth area (Leitrim and Riverside South)
without the benefit of rapid transit;

interest of the City of Ottawa to bring rapid transit to the southern growth
area (Leitrim and Riverside South) as soon as possible so that residents can
take public transit and leave the car at home;
AND WHEREAS the only other
viable rapid transit alternative is to extend the existing transitway to the
southern growth area (Leitrim and Riverside South);
AND WHEREAS since the South
East Transitway currently terminates at South Keys it would require
construction of 13.7 kilometres of transitway to bring rapid transit to the
River Road station using the LRT right of way at a cost of between $10 to $20
million dollars a kilometre;
THEREFORE BE IT
RESOLVED that staff be directed to prepare a plan, for consideration by Transit

Road Station and provides the same level of transit service that was
contemplated using LRT;

reserved for rapid transit services to Riverside South and Leitrim to be

the provisions of the "Modified Business Plan" must be consistent
with the terms and conditions of the "Option to Purchase and Development

for the "Core Airport Area" that is to be operated and maintained as
a municipal airport facility under the provisions of a Municipal Capital
Facilities Agreement (MCFA);
AND WHEREAS the specific terms and
conditions for the MCFA will evolve from the provisions set out in the Modified
Business Plan.
AND WHEREAS discussions between the
Carp Airport Authority (CAA) Board of Directors and WCD anticipate that the
role and structure of the CAA will be modified with the CAA Board seeking
approval from the membership at the next annual general meeting, which will be
held in late May or early June 2007, for amendments to the CAA's articles of
incorporation to reflect its new role under the MCFA.
THEREFORE BE
IT RESOLVED that the terms of office of Harold Daley, Neville Johnston, John
