Infrastructure Projects
The rapid growth in Kitchissippi has put pressure on the ward’s aging infrastructure. To keep pace with demand, extensive repairs and updates to existing infrastructure are necessary. During Councillor Leadman’s term, Kitchissippi ward has received its fair share of new capital projects to help provide the level of services the community desires and the support to deal with the intensive growth.
In budget time, during construction season and in long term planning sessions, Councillor Leadman has consistently worked for Kitchissippi’s interests. The following projects have been funded and implemented:

River Cleanup
The City of Ottawa has passed a comprehensive plan to stopping storm water overflows and improve the water quality in the Ottawa river. In the first year of the $203M fourteen year plan, 38 per cent of e-coli will be reduced. By 2035, 59 percent will be reduced by targeted plans for each of the three main sources (Ottawa, Gatineau and the Gatineau sewage treatment plant). $72M of the funding will be spent to manage storm water that flows into the river upstream from the City which is the prime cause for closures at Westboro Beach.
