This makes a lot of sense to me, there is already excess transportation capacity with 417, it could handle a community of up to 50k residents easily based on its current format.
We are out of room and capacity in Orleans and need to balance out the traffic flows
Public transit could be accommodated easily by Bus lanes for the first 20 years.

Sure people will cry foul at expanding suburban development but we don't have too much choice, the other option is to continue seeing unaffordable housing in the urban core, not many families have $1M+ for a townhouse.

Communities outside the City of Ottawa are continuing to boom (Limoges, Embrun etc..)

The other option is to selectively develop parts of the Greenbelt... but that's another can of worms
