The city hosted a workshop with planners to talk about water main work and the repaving of Long Island Road, density and heights. Beltzner said noticeably missing from the talks from a plan to deal with transportation issues like cut through traffic on Bridge Street. “Regional roads should fit into the planning,” he said. But Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffat said there are plenty of ways to look at traffic issues, and only a limited number of ways to deal with land use. “We had staff there to talk

Moffat said the village’s plan was developed in 1997 and briefly updated in 2001, but more work needs to be done.

Beltzner said the public consult was a good news story. He worked with Donna Smith, head of the Manotick Business Improvement Area, walked around the core, asking business owners to come out and participate. He said the secondary plan was the big ticket item, but residents were also interested in hearing
