Open House – Thursday, March 2 – John Mlacak Centre – 4:00 – 8:00 pm

For the southern part of Goulbourn Forced Road the new alignment is shown in the third map (about 40% down from the top) in the report on the rezoning of the land north of the Beaver Pond. The report can be found by going to: http://www.ottawa.ca/calendar/ottawa/citycouncil/pec/2004/05-11/agendaindex11.htm and selecting the link under item four.

North of the railway tracks, Goulbourn Forced Road will run along the west side of Trillium Woods - currently it goes right through. The map of Kanata in the Kanata Community phone book shows the boundaries of Trillium Woods.

Work on rebuilding Goulbourn Forced Road will take place as part of development in the area - this is the same development that will see the land north of the Beaver Pond built on. Currently the rezoning is being appealed to the OMB. It will only be after the appeal at the OMB is resolved that work will begin - one of the conditions in the rezoning is that work on Goulbourn Forced Road must take place between work on roads leading off it can be done.

If the OMB overturns the decision to rezone the land north of the Beaver Pond, then another way to get Goulbourn Forced Road rebuilt will have to be found - the bright side will be that Kanata will not lose a valued natural environmental area. As it looks unlikely the OMB will be overturning the decision, work will likely begin when the appeal is resolved.
