Across Kanata North

Protect the character of one of Kanata’s foundational neighbourhoods while addressing infrastructure pressures that were never designed for today’s growth.

• Protect mature trees, pathways and established neighbourhood character.
• Treat flooding and stormwater resilience as serious infrastructure priorities.
• Ensure redevelopment decisions account for existing infrastructure capacity.
• Preserve and improve the pedestrian connections that make Beaverbrook distinctive.

Growth, ClubLink and infrastructure capacity are tightly connected issues in Kanata Lakes.

• Pursue the best achievable outcome for the former golf-course lands, including the current Province-enabled land-swap effort.
• Protect meaningful greenspace and stormwater functions.
• Require infrastructure and flooding impacts to be addressed before major new development proceeds.
• Maintain strong pathway, park and community connections.

Morgan’s Grant sits directly beside some of the fastest growth and transportation pressure in the ward.

• Advance March Road transportation capacity and rapid-transit planning.
• Improve local traffic flow and safety as development continues north.
• Connect neighbourhood growth to recreation and community infrastructure.
• Strengthen walking and cycling connections to the broader Kanata North network.

These communities are increasingly affected by growth north of the established urban area.

• Match new housing with roads, transit and community infrastructure.
• Address congestion on the major routes connecting these neighbourhoods.
• Protect parks, pathways and access to recreation.
• Improve transportation links to the Tech Park and March Road corridor.

Village Green sits at the intersection of established Kanata and the rapidly evolving Tech Park.

• Improve connections between homes, employment and rapid transit.
• Support the Tech Park’s evolution into a stronger mixed-use innovation district.
• Protect established residential streets from unnecessary cut-through traffic.
• Improve walking and cycling connections where they provide useful local links.

Arcadia represents the newer face of Kanata North and the consequences of growth happening faster than infrastructure.

• Build transportation capacity alongside continued development.
• Ensure parks, recreation and community facilities keep pace with population growth.
• Improve reliable transit access for newer communities.
• Apply the principle: build the infrastructure when we build the homes.

The March Road corridor will shape the next generation of Kanata North.

• Advance March Road BRT and protect the corridor for future rapid transit.
• Support housing and employment growth where infrastructure can support it.
• Accelerate strategic development approvals while maintaining transparent infrastructure requirements.
• Strengthen Kanata North’s position as Canada’s leading technology and innovation hub.
