“More than 200 residents packed the Lions Maple Hall in Cumberland Village last night to find out more about the proposed expansion of the east urban boundary beyond Trim Road.

The standing room only crowd heard city planner Leslie Patterson explain that the city is considering increasing the amount of vacant land available for development by 850 hectares, which would give it a large enough surplus to meet the it’s needs for the next 22 years.”

Re: Official Plan amendment to expand development into Cumberland

The City of Ottawa is considering changes to the urban boundary to add 800 hectares of land for future urban development. In Cumberland seven areas, totaling 337 gross hectares, are being considered for development. This represents 28% of all the land being explored by the Ottawa Official Plan Amendment process. This is the area located between Cardinal Creek, on both sides of Old Montreal Road near Ted Kelly and Frank Kenny Road, as far as Wilhaven Road.

The Cumberland Village Community Association has concerns in the following key areas:

• Preservation of the historic and rural character of Cumberland
• Protecting our quality of life
• Environmental impact and conservation of streams, wildlife habitat, natural resources and woodlands
• Transportation and infrastructure system already at capacity
• The need to increase density within the Greenbelt before developing rural areas.
