I am committed to addressing this affordability crisis, and I genuinely believe that ensuring a balance in our suburban growth is the key so that we can live, work and play out here in Barrhaven.  I will continue to keep you apprised on this as the city and province move forward.

Retail Announced - Newsletter: November 10, 2023

My office and city stakeholders have been engaged with a number of commercial developers with a view to marketing the need for retail at the Cambrian and new Greenbank realignment site.  We have now had successful applications submitted for a Metro grocery store, No Frills, LCBO, Shoppers Drug Mart, and several other small outlets to be confirmed.  These new commercial developments HERE, HERE, and HERE will necessitate an upgrading to the intersection which I have requested be the initial phase for the realignment.  I have advocated that incremental investments in the realignment will better support the community rather than waiting until 2030 to start construction.  The benefits that I see to this would be an immediate access to retail in Half Moon Bay (for logistic trucks and customers), construction vehicle access into the Kennedy lands (reducing traffic on other local routes) and providing traffic relief for River Run.  Although the new bridge across the Jock River will be very expensive and will still take a number of years for installation, I believe that this interim step will provide the best immediate options with a view to ultimately getting the transportation system that we need.  Please stay tuned as I have a number of meetings with transportation staff in the coming weeks and will likely be updating this in each of my next few newsletters.  I am very pleased that the Mayor and city staff have agreed to prioritize and pull forward investment in this critical infrastructure project, and rest assured I will keep working my hardest to get shovels in the ground.

Anticipating Traffic Concerns - Newsletter: June 14, 2024

I wanted to give you an update on the Greenbank realignment this week. For those not tracking previous announcements, I was able to secure an additional 20 million dollars to start the detailed design and begin construction far earlier than the current 2031 timeline.   I am mindful that the new Metro, No Frills, LCBO and Shoppers will be popular with all of us, but that will create traffic that needs to be managed. That's why we will also be installing a fully signalized intersection at Cambrian and "New Greenbank" during this accelerated phase. Additional portions of New Greenbank will also be accelerated years ahead of schedule. Stay tuned for more information on this as I receive it.
