REPORT RECOMMENDATION
That the Planning
Committee recommend that Council authorize the City to advance,
in 2012, the design and construction of Cambrian Road to a two-lane urban arterial
standard cross section from Greenbank Road to Jockvale Road with an upset limit
of $3,500,000.
RECOMMANDATION DU
RAPPORT
Que le Comité de l’urbanisme recommande au
Conseil d’autoriser la Ville à faire progresser, en 2012, la conception et la
construction du chemin Cambrian en une voie artérielle urbaine transversale
standard à deux voies entre les chemins Greenbank et Jockvale pour un montant
maximal de 3 500 000 $.
BACKGROUND
Cambrian Road between
Greenbank Road and Jockvale Road, as shown in Document 1, is currently a
two-lane rural cross-section arterial road. It consists of substandard narrow pavement
with a poor surface condition and deep ditches on both sides of the roadway. It
is located in the rapidly expanding Barrhaven South development area, situated
south of the Jock River.
Approximately 60
percent of the developable lands in the area have been built out with primary
growth occurring within the Stonebridge and Mattamy’s Half Moon Bay
Subdivisions. In September 2013, the
Ottawa-Carleton Catholic School Board is
proposing to open a new elementary school on the south side of Cambrian Road,
west of Kilbirnie Crescent. The proposed school is to be located immediately
east of the future South Barrhaven Recreation Centre which is proposed to be
open mid 2014 at the southeast corner of Greenbank Road and Cambrian Road.
DISCUSSION
According to the 2008 Transportation Master Plan, the section of the
Cambrian Road from Greenbank Road to Jockvale Road is planned to be reconstructed
to a four-lane urban cross‑section by the year 2019. The arterial road
works were planned to include the reconstruction of the existing road, the
addition of two lanes, bicycle lanes and sidewalks on both sides. However, the combination
of rapid residential development and the prospects of both an elementary school
and recreation centre opening within the next two years have resulted in the
requirement to accelerate the urbanization of two-lanes of Cambrian Road to
accommodate not only additional vehicular traffic, but most importantly current
and future pedestrian demand.
This work will include the reconstruction of two lanes of pavement,
which will become future eastbound lanes, with curbs and a sidewalk along the
south side of the right of way. Monarch
Homes, as per the Stonebridge subdivision agreement, was responsible for the
preparation of the design and reconstruction of the first two lanes of Cambrian
Road from Greenbank Road to Jockvale Road through Front-Ending. Through this
agreement, the City was to repay Monarch within one year of the completion of
construction. Budget resources are not currently identified for the
urbanization of Cambrian Road until 2016. This delay will have a negative
impact on pedestrian access to the planned school and community centre.
The preliminary design for this project is complete. This has provided
the City with the opportunity to move forward with work on upgrading Cambrian
Road. The reconstruction of Jockvale Road including a new bridge, across the
Jock River, is scheduled to commence in 2012. Completion of the two-lane
urbanization of Cambrian Road section between the soon-to-be four-lane
urbanized Jockvale Road and Greenbank Road, will assist to accommodate the expected
growth of traffic in the area. It will also complete pedestrian connections to
the future school and South Barrhaven Recreation Centre from the adjacent
Mattamy, Tamarack, and Monarch subdivisions.
Therefore, it would be cost
effective to commence work on the urbanization of Cambrian Road in conjunction
with the reconstruction of Jockvale Road in order to co-ordinate the design,
project management and installation of infrastructure required for both
projects.
CONSULTATION
The associated development applications proposing urbanization of Cambrian Road followed the Planning Act and Council policies for public notification and consultation.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The upset limit for the design and reconstruction of the required
section of Cambrian Road is $3,500,000. Should
Council approve the recommendation, 904992 Cambrian Road will initially be
funded entirely from development charges. The project will subsequently be
refinanced to include the non-growth funding of $175,000.
