The National Capital Commission plans to develop two new public access points on the Ottawa River near the intersection of Wellington Street and the Portage Bridge.
The NCC will hold an open house on Oct. 7 at the Mill Street Brew Pub about the proposed projects to increase public access to the Bronson Pulp Mill ruins and the Richmond Landing shoreline, below Chaudière Falls.
For the Bronson Pulp Mill ruins project, the NCC says the objective is to provide universally accessible routes from the Wellington-Portage intersection to Richmond Landing, and from Bronson Pulp Mill to experience the ruins.
For the Richmond Landing project, the intent is to provide public access for pedestrians and cyclists from the Ottawa shoreline. New bridges will connect Richmond Landing, Victoria Island and Amelia Island.
In a report to the NCC board Tuesday, CEO Mark Kristmanson said both projects are in the planning stage. Construction should begin in 2016 with completion by the summer of 2017, the year of Canada’s sesquicentennial.
He said the projects offer opportunities to highlight the aboriginal and natural heritage of the islands, recognize the military presence in the region and showcase the manufacturing and power generation industries that helped spur growth in the National Capital Region.
Increasing access to the Ottawa River shoreline is one of the NCC’s top strategic objectives. Earlier this year, it issued a call for proposals that would “animate” the river’s shorelines.
