What about the traffic?

When I talk to the residents of Kanata North, they cannot believe how fast houses go up and new neighbourhoods are built. They wonder if the City has taken into consideration the traffic that will come when everyone has actually moved in! And, with intensification, will the existing roads be able to handle the additional cars when residents already can’t get out of their driveways? These are all real issues and planning has to take into consideration traffic patterns and road capacity. With the new roundabouts we have seen constructed, it is great to see residents’ concerns taken seriously. Consultation does work. We just have to work together to make it meaningful enough to see solution-focused decisions come from it.
