Subsequent to resuming the meeting, the following two motions were presented:

MOTION No. 24/1

Moved by Councillor K. Egli (on behalf of Councillor J. Harder)

WHEREAS Council’s next review and update of the Official Plan (OP), Transportation Master Plan (TMP) and Infrastructure Master Plan (IMP) will extend the City’s planning horizon beyond 2031; and

WHEREAS the affordability model established within the current LRFP for Transit, which addresses priority projects for each phase of the 2013 TMP, will be updated as a matter of course in coordination with the next TMP update; and

WHEREAS there is no light rail transit connection for Barrhaven planned within the affordable envelope to 2031; and

WHEREAS the most recent census has demonstrated that Barrhaven is the fastest growing area of the city;  and

WHEREAS it is Official Plan policy to connect major residential areas with major employment, education and retail hubs and to ensure that the City’s investment in transit reflects the service needs of the community as a whole; and

WHEREAS recent federal and provincial budgets have significantly increased the availability of transit infrastructure funding subsequent to the 2013 TMP analysis; and

WHEREAS the TMP update will  align with the next Official Plan review which will address growth patterns for employment and residential growth across the City, including Barrhaven;

WHEREAS the 2013 TMP already identifies the conversion of Southwest Transitway from bus rapid transit (BRT) to light rail transit (LRT) to connect Barrhaven to the Confederation Line as part of its Ultimate Network;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that staff be directed to fully assess the feasibility and relative priority of converting the Southwest Transitway from bus rapid transit (BRT) to light rail transit (LRT) to connect Barrhaven to the Confederation Line at the earliest opportunity, including options for implementation staging (such as interim BRT improvements) and the identification of other rapid transit supportive facilities to serve Barrhaven residents (such as park and ride lots), while respecting the affordability model established within the Long-Range Financial Plan for Transit, and that this work inform the next Transportation Master Plan update and include a review of projects currently within the Affordable Rapid Transit and Transit Priority Network. 

MOTION No. 24/2

Moved by Mayor J. Watson (on behalf of Councillor S. Qadri)

WHEREAS Ottawa’s Light Rail Transit Project has established a proven dedication and commitment to providing affordable, efficient, and accessible transit services for residents living across the City of Ottawa network;

 AND WHEREAS the Finance and Economic Development Committee have expanded the Stage 2 Light Rail Transit Project Council Recommendations to include an extension West to Moodie Drive in order to accommodate the rapidly growing transit demands of Ottawa’s western communities;

 AND WHEREAS residents from Ottawa’s Stittsville and Kanata communities have expressed a clear interest in improved transit delivery and the most efficient Park and Rides to connect to LRT that service these communities are regularly brought to maximum capacity;

 AND WHEREAS these are rapidly growing suburban communities which require convenient and effective transit options to ensure that the benefits and environmental sustainability of LRT can be granted to a larger percentage of Ottawa’s population;

 AND WHEREAS the end of the Moodie extension would be an optimal location for a Park and Ride as it is in this area that traffic congestion is heightened in the A.M. rush hour and would provide commuters with the opportunity to utilize transit as an alternative while alleviating traffic congestion on Ottawa’s Highway 417;

 THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that staff be directed to explore opportunities for a Park and Ride to be located at the Moodie Station with consultation among all the large landowners in the immediate vicinity including leasing opportunities with the National Capital Commission;
