## Resource

Orléans South in Ottawa scores a major victory with plans for a new commercial plaza at 226 Mer Bleue Road, featuring a full-size grocery store, anchor retail, and shops/restaurants spanning nine thousand square metres. The project, divided into two phases, will transform the Trailsedge neighborhood into a walkable hub, addressing the areas need for everyday amenities. However, rapid growth has exposed infrastructure gaps, with roads underfunded by over one hundred million dollars compared to other areas. Councillor Catherine Kitts advocates for the updated Transportation Master Plan, prioritizing Brian Coburn widening and the long-delayed Cumberland Bus Rapid Transit line. Recreation needs also require attention, with Kitts urging faster alignment between housing development and basic infrastructure to keep Orléans thriving.
