Municipal Class Environmental Assessment for Hawthorne Road and Davidson Road / Whyte Side Road Functional Design Study

Building on a previous Functional Design Study completed by the City of Ottawa for the Hawthorne Road and Davidson Road intersection, the current study will include Natural and Cultural Environment Investigations, as well as a Traffic Analysis to determine the feasibility of several different traffic control device types (traffic control signals, roundabout, etc.). The study will also review the potential need to realign a portion of Davidson Road, Whyte Side Road, or both to create a single point intersection. Feasible traffic control device types, realignment options, and environmental impacts will be assessed and evaluated to determine a recommended configuration for the existing offset tee intersections of Hawthorne Road / Davidson Road and Hawthorne Road / Whyte Side Road.

The Study is being conducted in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) process for a Schedule C project. The planning and design process will involve developing, assessing and evaluating alternatives, leading to a recommended plan including a functional design and estimated costs for implementation.

There will be ongoing consultation activities throughout the study including at least one public information session (virtual or in person, to be determined) during late 2026 or early 2027.
