Jane's Walk - Kettle Island Bridge

Saturday May 3, 1:30 pm

For decades, the National Capital Commission has been advocating the construction of a bridge at Kettle Island that will funnel traffic through residential areas and through a recreational waterfront area known for its peaceful natural beauty and charm. Borrowing from Jane Jacobs’ advocacy against short-sighted, neighbourhood-destroying road projects of this kind, we will be discussing how this project will harm our neighbourhoods and destroy the natural heart of our city.

Kettle Island is a nature reserve with endangered species, and where the NCC has already invested over $65 Million for the public to enjoy its waterfront serenity and beauty. However, other bureaucrats within that agency are working at cross-purposes to add noise, pollution, and traffic that will obliterate the tranquility of this area, negating that earlier investment.

With this project being quietly fast-tracked for the past year, this is our last chance to discuss what can be done, as we launch a new neighbourhood advocacy organization inspired by Jane Jacobs to combat civic soul destroying development of this kind. Come enjoy the peaceful nature of this area, as we stroll along this heritage waterfront to appreciate what we have and what we may lose. If you like what you hear, you are welcome to join us in opposing this development, as Jane Jacobs likely would have.
