Uncontrolled development in Eastern Ontario is straining Ottawa’s roads and
transit and we need a long-term regional plan to deal with it, city council
says. “We’ve seen a tremendous amount of growth around the city of Ottawa over
the last 10 years or so, places like Carleton Place and Arnprior and Kemptville
to the south and Rockland and Russell to the south and southeast,” said
Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais, who put the idea on city council’s agenda this
week. “The growth policies of those places don’t necessarily mesh well with the
growth policies of Ottawa.” via
