Road projects in or around the community
- Two community road projects planned based on the City of Ottawa’s current Transportation Master Plan, developed in 2008.
2016-2022: Bank Street widening from two to four lanes from south of Leitrim Road to Findlay Creek Drive (2.4 km) to provide capacity for growth in Leitrim
2023-2031: Bank Street widening from two to four lanes from Findlay Creek Drive to Parkway Road (5.2 km) to provide capacity for growth in Riverside South, Leitrim and Greely areas
- The Findlay Creek Drive connection to Albion Road is scheduled to be implemented in mid-July 2011. There will be a stoplight and turning lanes at this intersection.
- The City is looking at having a Blossom Park Bypass diagonal from the intersection of Lester and Albion and the Airport Parkway.
- Earl Armstrong Road will be widened to 4 lanes in spring 2012 and will eventually connect with the 417.
- Once the commercial development is in place, there will be a new traffic light on Bank Street and access from Findlay Creek Drive.
- The long term plan is that Kelly Farm Drive will connect with Leitrim Road.
- Leitrim Road will be resurfaced between Limebank and Bowesville in short term.
Public transportation
Findlay creek has one local bus route, #144.
The Leitrim park and ride is nearby. Route 99 stops there but must be requested.
Cycling
The 20-year vision for cycling facilities throughout the city is contained in the Cycling Plan.
For Findlay Creek, the Plan includes bike lanes and paved shoulders along Bank Street and a off-road path parallel to Conroy Road. Originally, Albion Road was not identified as a cycling route. The FCCA lobbied against this issue; it is now planned that Albion Road will receive paved shoulders in the future.
The re-surfacing of Leitrim Road between Limebank Road and Bowesville Road, and the construction of the Leitrim re-alignment around CFS Leitrim, both of which should start this year, will both include paved shoulders.
The FCCA will continue to lobby the city to provide include cycling facilities in and around Findlay Creek.
