Longfields Drive Extension
Woodroffe Avenue to Bill Leathem Drive
Notice of Project Commencement
In response to local traffic concerns resulting from the RCMP’s announcement that National Headquarters will be relocating to the South Merivale Business Park, the City of Ottawa has initiated the update to the detailed design for construction of a new access road from Woodroffe Avenue to Bill Leathem Drive. The proposed alignment will be an extension of Longfields Drive and passes through the southern farm sector of the National Capital Commission’s Greenbelt.
This project will involve the construction of:
- Two 3.5 metre traffic lanes with shoulders and flat bottom ditches;
- Two new culverts at Barrhaven Creek and a tributary of Barrhaven Creek; and
- Intersection connections at Woodroffe Avenue and Bill Leathem Drive.
This project will also update the Schedule ‘B’ Class Environmental Assessment carried out in 2000 and will therefore include the filing of the ESR Update at the end of the project. As the project is located within the NCC’s Greenbelt, a federal environmental screening is also required.
We welcome your comments on the project, as they are an important part of the consultation process. With the exception of personal information, comments will become part of the public record.
