RAPID TRANSIT FOR KANATA ADDED TO MASTER PLAN

The Citys Transit Commission has approved the proposal I made to staff to change the Master Transportation Plan and included a Transit Way through Kanata. By deferring an underground connection for the Bus Rapid Transit to go north in the median of March Road and instead having uses leave the us only lanes on the !"# and connect to the median along March Road frees up $%& million. These funds 'ill e used to e(tend the Transit Way on March Road from Carling )ve to *olandt +after 'hich it 'ill continue in mi(ed traffic, and to construct a Bus Rapid Transit +BRT, 'ithin the corridor that is immediately ad-acent to .igh'ay !"#. Buses 'ill access this corridor along the former County Road / alignment ad-acent to the 0PP station and proceed to Terry 1o(2 'ith a 'al3 to station at the pedestrian over pass. Timing of construction is not yet set ut 'ill e after the Confederation 4ight Rail line +presently under construction, is opened. This start to a transit system through Kanata 'ill help to move the ultimate plan +'hich sho's light rail to the Canadian Tire Centre, for'ard once funding is availa le.
