For release July 27, 2007
OTTAWA – Transport Minister Lawrence Cannon today announced that two parcels of land located at the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport have been sold to the City of Ottawa for the purpose of widening Limebank Road and River Road. Under the agreements, the City of Ottawa took ownership of the two parcels of land on July 26, 2007.
"I am pleased that the Government of Canada, the City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport Authority were able to work together cooperatively to execute these agreements," said Mr. Cannon. "These sales will allow the City of Ottawa to move forward with its plan to ease congestion and improve safety by widening these roadways."
As part of the negotiations leading up to these agreements, Transport Canada, in consultation with the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport Authority, confirmed that the Airport lands sold will not impact the operations of the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport. The Crown received fair market value for the sales consistent with Government policy.
The sale of these lands will provide the City of Ottawa with the opportunity to proceed with its road construction project, and is consistent with Canada's New Government's commitment to transportation safety.
