It is pleasing to read that city staff is recommending a halt on home construction pending implementation of upgrades to the Hazeldean Pumping Station (Hazeldean Pumping Station upgrade delays Kanata houses, Ottawa Citizen, June 5, 2010) – part of the solution to previous occurrences of flooding in Glen Cairn.
Let us hope that city council's planning and environment committee withstand pressure from developers when they debate this issue on June 22nd. Let us also hope that the planned upgrade provides sufficient pumping capacity to address possible future growth in the affected areas.
Perhaps the city should also consider delaying projects in adjacent areas, such as the controversial Terry Fox Drive extension, even if it means sacrificing contributions from the government’s Economic Action Plan.
