I finally caught some people working on the coudoroy road today... it seems like any time I've been by it has been covered up or the pits have had obstructions blocking the view.
edit: Hmm... no rotation flag awareness. I'll try to remember that for the future.
Still not all that exciting, but seeing them working on Sunday gives the impression that they are trying to take care of this as quickly as possible.

If you have your browser open the image solo, the rotation does take hold.

I can't imagine how it could be widened - it's 2 lanes now and tight, and we're adding track, which is removing a good chunk of people's front yards. There's no way it can go up to 4 lanes plus a track, that I could imagine, anyway... Was that the plan though? 4 lanes + LRT?

One block of Ottawa from King to Charles is being widened to 4 lanes, but it was out off until next year or the year after, when they redo Ottawa up to the highway with a multi use trail

I believe that the buildings on the "west" side of Ottawa will be demolished to accommodate this widening, no?

I don't know for fact, but I definitely wouldn't be surprised.

I'm basing that on something I saw a while back about the Corner Pub being expropriated. I just assumed that the two remaining buildings in that block would come down as well. If so, it will be a nice redevelopment opportunity for someone.

There used to be a project sheet for it on the city's site, but there's no longer a link to it from the construction projects page. It might still be hiding on their servers somewhere, not sure how to find it.

I wonder why they are not upgrading the utilities on Courtland from Hayward to Block Line? Maybe they have been upgraded in the last 10 or 20 years?

They don't have to move the road for the LRT in that area. It's on the embankment on the west side so it won't get in the way of future utility work.

They're expropriating all the houses between Courtland and Mill? This is the first I've heard of any of this...

Where did you hear that? Those houses all have decent front yards, so I don't know why they'd be expropriated,

A few posts ago I thought someone said that it's going from 2 to 4 lanes + LRT and they're removing all the houses. Last time I walked down there though they were doing temporary water hookups to them so I don't believe that is the case.

That's the short block between King and Charles. The widening is to open up the bottleneck at King and Ottawa Sts, it's not LRT related.
