Carp Road

We've hit a delay with the Carp at Hazeldean intersection upgrade.

This is phase one of the overall upgrade to Carp Road, which will include two lanes in each direction for vehicles and sidewalks and pathways and so on, and major intersection upgrades, including the major intersection upgrade at Cope and Hazeldean.

And what's happened here, pardon me, is staff have hit a snag in property acquisition and easement agreements right at that intersection and the plan was to have shovels in the ground in September but that's not going to happen because of these delays in securing those permissions from adjacent property owners so they've moved the start date to spring 2027 for that work Now you're still going to see some utilities in there like Hydro Ottawa doing some work but the substantial work now has been pushed into the spring unfortunately.

It is an upgrade at the intersection and the entire roadway that we really really need in Stittsville so it's really unfortunate to see this delay.
