18:34:36 From  Connie - Assistant to Councillor Kavanagh  to  Everyone : Link to City site for this project: https://ottawa.ca/connaughtavenue
18:36:38 From  Kathy Vandergrift  to  Everyone : Was thought given to children going to Severn school? Is this the best option for them?
18:41:00 From  Laura L  to  Everyone : What is the width of Connaught now?
18:43:00 From  Andrew Schmidt & Birgit Massek  to  Everyone : What does it mean  ‘the pathway will being built inside utility poles?”
18:43:34 From  Sue Hall  to  Everyone : Will a detailed design be shared at a future date and before consultations are over?
18:44:18 From  Pam Cooper  to  Everyone : To clarify - does building the sidewalk "inside the existing utility poles" mean that the sidewalk is on the road side of the existing utility poles, not affecting the current location of those utility poles, including overhead street lights?
18:44:45 From  Laura L  to  Everyone : Why is the PXO not raised at severn?
18:44:55 From  Andrew Schmidt & Birgit Massek  to  Everyone : The raised cross walk on Sackville is proposed at an angle which will cause issues for crossing cars, bicyclists , drainage & snow clearing.
18:45:30 From  Kathy Vandergrift  to  Everyone : If a decision is made to discontinue that bus after LRT is finished, would you change the design of the cross-over to be the same as the other one?
18:45:32 From  Simon  to  Everyone : Buses go over speed bumps all over the city. Why is priority given to an oc transpo route that travels so infrequently? In seven years I've never met somebody who has used that bus.
18:46:29 From  Sheila P  to  Everyone : At Severn and Connaught, the two bus routes have only a handful of trips a day. There are rarely any passengers on these buses as they pass through QTN. One bus is at the very start of its route as it passes Connaught/Severn, the other at the very end of the route. A raised crosswalk would increase pedestrian safety. Given that there would rarely be any bus passengers affected by passing over the raised crosswalk, could the City reconsider the proposal, and instead put a raised crosswalk in at Severn and Connaught?
18:47:54 From  Andrew Schmidt & Birgit Massek  to  Everyone : 3.5m is the width of a highway lane. Why so wide?
18:48:54 From  Lija Bickis  to  Everyone : We are seeing a lot of infill in QTN which is creating the roller coaster effect with sidewalks (where they exist). Could a lower sidewalk be explored to reduce the grade difference between the different parts of the sidewalk?
18:49:09 From  Simon  to  Everyone : Will Connaught and Carling be realigned so drivers aren't shifted at the intersection? It's awkward and a turning car loses the use of the side mirrors to see cyclists and pedestrians behind them
18:50:36 From  Simon  to  Everyone : What width is provided between the fence and bollard? Many MUP entrances are challenging on modern bikes (fat bikes, mountain bike handle bars are wider), bike trailers, and strollers can all be quite wide.
18:52:51 From  Sue Hall  to  Everyone : For the cross-overs, can cycling facilities be added as well? Green bike lanes and separate bike boxes, which would separate pedestrians from cyclists, and allow cyclists to continue biking rather than being asked to get off their bike and walk.
18:53:47 From  Liette Philippe  to  Everyone : The heaviest traffic on Connaught is from Elmhurst to Severn making it dangerous for  pedestrians, so option 2 does not seem to address the safety of pedestrians for the whole avenue.
18:53:57 From  Laura L  to  Everyone : Would it be possible to have the POX to be on the other side of Severn, so it could also be used for students walking to Severn?
18:54:04 From  Kathy Vandergrift  to  Everyone : Children going to Severn school have to cross streets often - also have to cross Severn to get to school.  Could there be crosswalk to assist them?
18:54:56 From  Simon  to  Everyone : A raised intersection at Severn seems like a no brainer. Good for Severn ps, Woodroffe hs, LRT, and path connections
18:56:03 From  Connie - Assistant to Councillor Kavanagh  to  Everyone : Sewer Rehab project: https://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/public-engagement/projects/queensway-terrace-storm-sewer-rehabilitation
18:56:06 From  Lija Bickis  to  Everyone : Has there been consideration of the construction impacts of sidewalk building on Connaught compounded by sewer construction on Henley/Alpine in 2022?
18:56:08 From  Kathy Vandergrift  to  Everyone : Can you consider cross-over for Alpine at the end of the Henley sidewalk. This is major crossing to get to FrankRyan Park and start of down hill on Alpine at that point. Alpine will be dug up anyway. Good time to increase pedestrian safety at that point.
18:57:26 From  Laura L  to  Everyone : The POX at Connaught and Severn is on the wrong side of the road to help students walking to Severn.
18:58:01 From  Laura L  to  Everyone : wrong side*
18:58:06 From  Nicola Gall  to  Everyone : I agree with Laura L. This requires students to cross twice instead of once.
19:00:46 From  Jim and Brenda  to  Everyone : Why is a sidewalk needed when there is a MUP just to the east and a sidewalk to the west on Alpine?
19:02:54 From  Sheila P  to  Everyone : Why is Henley crossing treated differently from Severn? One of the OC Transpo buses turns from Connaught onto Henley. If that's ok for the rare passenger who might be on the bus, why not for Severn?
19:06:09 From  Laura L  to  Everyone : Priority should be given to the safety of the students walking to and from Severn PS, not bus passengers and OC transpo - especially if it a poorly used route that couldn't possibly be canceled in the near future when LRT is up and running.
19:08:00 From  Simon  to  Everyone : To lijas point, lowering the sidewalk curb height is what's being requested so the rollercoaster effect is reduced.
19:08:19 From  Alex Cornett  to  Everyone : 2m is not enough to social distance. How about 2.5m for the sidewalk? Shouldn't we build infrastructure that can help us for the next pandemic?
19:08:21 From  Lija Bickis  to  Everyone : Follow up, based on the sidewalk standards consultation, there was a lot of feedback that the ramped sidewalk is not comfortable for pedestrians. 
19:09:14 From  Simon  to  Everyone : Lowering the curb and doing a ramp style where possible would be nice
19:13:44 From  Pam Cooper  to  Everyone : Where Connaught is narrower than 7 meters (such as at the end north of Sackville), will the increased width be taken from both sides of the street?  It appears that way from your cross-section, but I would like to confirm this is the plan.
19:21:20 From  Jim and Brenda  to  Everyone : Meant - why is a sidewalk needed at all on Connaught, when there is a MUP to the east and sidewalk on Alpine and Severn.
19:22:28 From  Sue Hall  to  Everyone : Students at Severn often walk along the north side of Severn. The lawn is flat and there is a sidewalk of sorts in front of the school itself. Perhaps that sidewalk is maintained by the school rather than the City if it isn't in your maps? (A larger goal - that entire block of Severn, on the north side, could use a sidewalk, for student safety)
19:26:00 From  Sue Hall  to  Everyone : Yes, that is what I am saying, and I am explaining that this is why people are saying the crossing at SEvern is on the wrong side of the intersection.
19:27:06 From  Simon  to  Everyone : Thanks, will definitely send some feedback in. Appreciate the meeting.
19:27:51 From  Kathy Vandergrift  to  Everyone : Thank you very much.  The thoughtful dialogue with residents on this project is appreciated.
19:28:53 From  Lija Bickis  to  Everyone : Thank you for taking the time to meet with us
