ALL YOU NEED IS ... Volunteers from a church in Bridlewood offered some services to residents during the annual Love Kanata event.
Leaving Scotiabank Place after a big event is set to become a lot easier with the announcement of plans to build a new ramp onto Hwy. 417. OC Transpo buses will have priority to use the new ramp, but high-occupancy vehicles will also be allowed. Instead of sitting in a traffic snarl after Ottawa Senators games and major concerts, transit users will be the first to exit the parking lot. The ramp will reduce the amount of time it takes to exit the arena’s parking lot from 17 or 18 minutes to just two minutes, said Mayor Jim Watson during a press conference held at Scotiabank Place on Thursday, July 21. “This will make using OC Transpo faster, safer and easier,” Watson said. The ramp will be constructed within the next two years, in conjunction with the next phase of highway widening between Eagleson Road and Palladium Drive, which will add two lanes (including one bus/ high-occupancy vehicle lane) in each direction on the Queensway. It will cost $750,000 to build the ramp; the Ontario government will contribute $500,000, with the city contributing $250,000. The Senators will pay for engineering costs and would foot the bill if it went over $750,000, said the team’s president, Cyril Leeder.
