Open House: Innes-Walkley-Hunt Club Connection


The attached scan (pdf) is an ad which appeared in the South Ottawa EMC local newspaper. It's an invitation to a Public Open House re: a new road to connect Innes, Walkley and Hunt Club, with a new interchange on the 417.

A portion of the project will be in the Greenbelt.

The project proponents are Ottawa and the Ministry of Transport, who have begun an environmental assessment. "Through this assessment we have confirmed the need (for the project) and are now determining the form and function of these facilities to serve the transportation demands of the city."

Purpose of the Open House is to hear comments on 1) Assessment of Alternatives, 2) Present the technically preferred alternative and refinements, and to present next steps in the study.

City staff, Ministry of Transport staff, NCC staff and National Capital Engineering consultants will be available to answer questions (like, what determined the need for this project?).

WHEN: Wed. Oct 18, 2006 - 5 to 8:00 pm
WHERE: Jim Durrell Arena, 1265 Walkley Road
