Just because it's closer than Kanata or Barrhaven doesn't necessarily make it feasible, especially considering how much flak those two suburban communities already take from here and elsewhere.

In expanding the urban boundary, the city has to consider how much more money its would cost to provide municipal services in those outer communities. The cost for including the Algonquin lands wasn’t made clear during the meeting.

So not only was it not costed and voted on but it also had low developmental scoring from city staff.
