Everybody needs a bit of magic and what better way than attending the Prince and Princess Ball on June 23. Years of Disney movies and fairy tales have barely prepared the young princesses and princes of Constance Bay for the sight of real storybook princesses in their midst. As part of the celebration, Cinderella and Rapunzel entertained the kids with magic tricks. Before the show, Rapunzel embraces overjoyed Mya LaBell.

EMC news - As commuting and traffic pressures grow, so will Carp Road. An environmental assessment study is in the making, but the city of Ottawa is planning to widen the road from two lanes to four lanes from Highway 417 to Hazeldean Road. This will help ensure that it continues to provide easy, quick access to the highway and local businesses. Several options are being explored for that 2 km stretch, but increasing usage had made it a necessity. “The existing traffic, if you go out there, is pretty much constant,” said Carp Corridor BIA president Roddy Bolivar. It’s a nightmare to turn across traffic to get into one of the businesses, he added. There is no talk at this time to widen the stretch from the village of Carp to Hwy. 417.

Consultations were held with area residents and area businesses to gather their perception on any issues they would encounter. If traffic conditions improve, widening the road would have positive impact on many of the businesses, particularly those that use the highway to transport or receive goods. At the moment, traffic has impacted the success of several businesses. If things continue, some may have to relocate out of the BIA and one already has. “What members have been telling me is that because traffic has gotten so congested that while you are close to the Queensway it still takes you 20 minutes to get there,” said Bolivar. The project may be the solution to this problem, but widening the street may also have the result of attracting more traffic to the area. “We’ve already seen it happen when Terry Fox (Road) was extended.”
