Municipal Transit
Currently, commuter transit services from the Carleton Place area to Ottawa are provided by a private operator. The private operation is reportedly not feasible and may not continue. A municipal contribution to subsidize the operation of a commuter transit system is being considered for 2009. This cost depends on Municipal partners and can vary considerably.
Rural Partner Service Transport Thom (1-800-465-7254) offers bus service to downtown Ottawa, which will connect commuters with the rest of the OC Transpo network. Click on the following Route #'s for more detailed stop information Route 502 - Pakenham, Almonte - Ottawa (via Carleton Place)

Winter Parking Restrictions Snow Cleaning & Removal In order to avoid garbage and recyclables being scattered due to snow ploughing/removal operation, the Public Works Department asks that garbage and/or blue boxes be placed in driveways 3 to 4 feet from the street line and not on the street on top of snow banks, if winter maintenance operations are likely to occur.
Current Road Construction Program Currently the Town roads are in good condition for two reasons:
The Town now faces two challenges:
In the coming year, a 10 year plan has been developed requiring an increase of $95,000 in the budget each year to reconstruct and maintain the Town’s roads. Recently, the Province announced a one-time grant of $642,838 for roads, transit, social housing or bridges. Although this is a temporary solution it does not address long term problem. Currently the Town is reworking the construction plans to best address these issues. |
