In summary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hog&#8217;s Back Road will be closed for approximately nine months to all vehicles from Colonel By Dr. to Prince of Wales Dr., diverting a significant amount of traffic to the Bronson Ave. entrance to campus. Improved pedestrian\/cyclist access across the Hog\u2019s Back locks during construction is planned.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>During the O-Train shutdown, buses will replace train service for an estimated two years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The university is taking steps to mitigate increased traffic congestion on campus. As a first step, the university is in the process of receiving site plans and permit approval from the City of Ottawa to proceed with two projects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Planning for Raven Road to be opened to Bronson Ave. as a left-in and a right-out for buses only is underway. Preparation begins on March 26-28 with the city drilling bore holes, and construction starting in June (date to be confirmed).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Planning for the construction of a new road called Stadium Way that will connect Bronson Ave. and University Dr. through parking lot 5, near MNP Park is also underway. This would be as a right-in, right-out for cars only from Bronson Ave. Work is expected to begin in June (date to be confirmed).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/transportationplan\" target=\"_blank\">dedicated website<\/a> has been created to house all information about these and future events. Information will be shared with the campus community as details are confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are in discussions with the National Capital Commission (NCC) and the City of Ottawa and will continue to keep those lines of communications open.&nbsp;Further updates will be provided to the 杏吧原创 community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michel Pich\u00e9<br>\nVice-President (Finance and Administration)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the last several months, 杏吧原创 University has been developing a strategy to best respond to the impacts of the closure of Hog&#8217;s Back swing bridge this summer and the shutdown of the O-Train in 2020 for Stage 2 LRT.
