Presentation by the Study Partners (NCC, MTO, MTQ) / Présentation Orale par les
partenaires de l’étude (CCN, MTO, MTQ)
WHEREAS the letter from the Ministry of Environment of Ontario (October 29,
2008) was written at a time when only one corridor was being recommended; and,
WHEREAS the aforesaid letter assumed that the “NCC is the sole proponent of the
Project”; and,
WHEREAS the aforesaid letter also assumed that “any of the modifications to
provincial or municipal facilities and/or lands are described as part of the
undertaking, and any such works are implemented by the Federal Government …”; and,
WHEREAS the letter underscored twice that the stated opinion was based on “a
strict interpretation of the Ontario EAA”; and,
WHEREAS the letter makes it clear that the Ontario EAA could apply if there
was agreement “between the NCC and the Minister of the Environment to have the
Ontario EAA apply in this case”;
THEREFORE BE IT
RESOLVED that the
Transportation Committee recommend that Council request both the NCC and the
Ministry of the Environment of Ontario to agree that the conclusion of the
letter of October 29, 2008 be reconsidered such that the Ontario EAA will apply
at this stage and that residents of Ottawa will receive the benefits and
protections that the Ontario EAA affords.
CARRIED
WHEREAS one of the main reasons for initiating the current Interprovincial
Crossing Study is the need to resolve the heavy truck traffic volume through
the City’s downtown core along the King Edward / Rideau / Waller/
Nicholas (KERWN) corridor; and
WHEREAS the preliminary findings in Phase 1 of the Interprovincial Crossings
Study indicated that the KERWN corridor should remain open to trucks and would
likely continue to carry approximately 60% of the total future interprovincial
truck movement, meaning that no significant reduction to truck volumes on King
Edward will be realized; and
WHEREAS Phase 2B of the Interprovincial Crossings Study will build upon the
results of Phase 1 and be limited to the consideration of three possible
corridors for an additional interprovincial crossing; and
WHEREAS the Ottawa Official Plan calls for removal of the truck route
designation from the King Edward / Rideau / Waller/ Nicholas corridor upon
completion of a new interprovincial crossing; and
WHEREAS there is an expectation by the residents of Sandy Hill and Lowertown
that a new crossing would result in a ban of heavy through-trucks
from this corridor; and
WHEREAS the City of Gatineau has passed a resolution calling for the KERWN
corridor to continue to remain open to heavy trucks;
THEREFORE be it resolved that
while recognizing that the Ottawa Official Plan calls for
removal of the truck route designation from the King Edward / Rideau /
Waller/ Nicholas corridor upon completion of a new interprovincial
crossing, that the
Interprovincial Crossing Study proponents be requested to undertake a
comprehensive study of the diversion of all trucks from the KERWN corridor and
that this study:
i)
Includes
an economic analysis of such a diversion on truck traffic;
ii)
Includes
consultation with the affected business interests;
iii)
Includes
analysis of safety considerations of continuing to mix heavy (articulated
intercity transports) trucks in the Central Area given the availability of a
proposed alternative;
iv)
Determine
how the corridors under study would provide a viable alternative for intercity
heavy trucks so that all such trucks could be diverted from the KERWN corridor;
v)
Becomes
a direct input into Phase 2B analysis;
vi)
Is
completed prior to the selection of a recommended corridor; and
vii)
Completion
of the truck origin-destination study for inclusion in 2.B.
CARRIED
WHEREAS the outcome of the Interprovincial Transit study would have a direct
impact on the modal split across the Ottawa River
BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Interprovincial Transit Study be completed
prior to the selection of an interprovincial corridor.

NOTICES OF MOTION
(FOR CONSIDERATION AT SUBSEQUENT MEETING)
AVIS DE MOTION (POUR EXAMEN
LORS D’UNE RÉUNION SUBSÉQUENTE)
Councillor / Conseiller Doucet
Whereas the original
configuration of Glendale Avenue east of Percy was a dead end;
Whereas when the
old City of Ottawa vacated the city yards at the east end of Glendale a road
segment was added linking Chamberlain and Glendale;
Whereas the vast majority residents of Glendale have
submitted a petition requesting that Glendale be restored to a dead end and
that two segments of park on either side of the closed segment could be joined;
Whereas water works are forcing the reconstruction of
Glendale in the summer of 2010 and this provides an opportunity to reconfigure
the street;
Therefore be
it resolved
that staff be directed to provide a recommendation from an Area Traffic
Management point of view on this requested closure.
Councillor / Conseiller Doucet
Whereas the portion of Clemow
that crosses Central Park has been blocked off to through traffic with large
planters for close to 40 years;
Whereas this virtual closure of the street has not
been a problem, is well accepted and as a result there are no grounds to
consider ever reopening the street to through traffic;
Whereas the community would like have this section of
unused roadway re-landscaped so the two section of Central Park on either side
of Clemow could be linked in a more pedestrian friendly manner;
Therefore be
it resolved
that staff be directed to initiate a formal, permanent street closure for the
portion of Clemow that crosses Central Park.
