What does your design look like there?

I was thinking that the service roads in the area were perfect for this setup, but now that MTO wanted to include a carpool lot too, it would be quite a different story.

... I like MTO's design better.

Oh c’mon, MTO has this for 17 & /630\ near Eaux Claires Station and possibly east of the golf course in Mattawa (or Papineau-Cameron) too.

You seem traumatized by the roundabout in Mattawa. Apparently that’s a bad one.

No, it was the Armdale Rotory that did it to me.

O.P.P. caught the man.

Me to an SSP-er just now:

In general, I've been curious how Upper Ottawa Valley can be developed to jack up the traffic on the 17. I'm curious what else can be going for them other than natural resources.

Edit: And federal employers, for that matter.

Reinstate a rail line and build a commuter line to Deep River area. People will move to be in that area.

That conflicts with 417 extension though. There's a reason that I'm selectively anti-rail.

I mean, I can see the demand (even though it be a weak one), but it takes away from the 17.

And yes, I do have an agenda.

Then you are ignoring the reality. The reality is, there is only a 2 lane road beyond Arnprior. So, most will not move beyond it. So, either wait for the 417 is extended, in about 20 years, or get a rail line out there and maybe the highway is built faster. Look at the extensions of GO to KW and Barrie and what it has done to those places.

Transportation investment needs to respond to demand, or a damn good case for future demand. Infrastructure cannot be built based on hopes the demand will rise to justify it, not in terms of the economics anyway.
