Hunt Club Community to South Keys / Greenboro Transit Stations
Notice of Study Completion
Pathway Connection Environmental Assessment
The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for a future multi-use pathway connection between the Hunt Club community and the Southeast Transitway. The intent of this future pathway connection, between Cahill Drive West and the South Keys Transitway Station, will be to better connect residents with rapid transit, neighbouring communities and local commercial areas. This project is supported by policies found in the City’s Official Plan – Hunt Club Secondary Plan, the Ottawa Cycling Plan and the Ottawa Pedestrian Plan.
The project is classified as a Schedule ‘C’ project under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2007) document. An Environmental Study Report (ESR) documenting the purpose, rationale, recommended plan and mitigation measures has been prepared and will be placed on record March 19, 2010 for public and agency review for a 30-day period. Copies of the ESR are available for public review at the following locations:
City of Ottawa Client Service Centre
110 Laurier Avenue West
Ottawa Public Libraries
Main Branch, 120 Metcalfe Street
Greenboro District Library, 363 Greenberg Drive
Alta Vista Library, 2516 Alta Vista Drive
Universities and Colleges
University of Ottawa, Morisset Hall, 65 University Private
Carleton University, MacOdrum Library, 1125 Colonel By Drive
Algonquin College Library, 1685 Woodroffe Avenue
Interested persons are encouraged to review the ESR and provide comments within the 30 day review period to the City of Ottawa Project Manager listed below. If after consulting with the City of Ottawa, you have unresolved concerns, you have the right to request the Minister of the Environment (135 St. Clair Avenue West, 12th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M4V 1P5) to “bump-up” (i.e. make a Part II Order for) this project. A Part II Order may lead to preparation of an individual environmental assessment. A written copy of the “bump-up” request must be received by the Minister of Environment by April 19, 2010 at the address indicated above. A copy of the request should also be sent to the City of Ottawa Project Manager at the address indicated below. If there are no outstanding concerns after April 19, 2010, the project will be considered to have met the requirements of the Class EA and the project will proceed with design and construction as presented in the planning document.
Information will be collected in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. With the exception of personal information, all comments will become part of the public record.
