Beginning the week of September 15, 2025, the City’s project CP1001 — Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) — will start construction along Donald Street, between Frances Street and Telford Avenue. These enhancements are part of Ottawa’s broader efforts to improve road safety through Automated Speed Enforcement in designated Community Safety Zones and school zones.
What you need to know:
- Two-way traffic will be maintained throughout construction.
- Sidewalk closure on the south side of Donald Street during the work. A signed pedestrian detour will be in place directing pedestrians to use the north sidewalk.
- Minor traffic impacts expected, including possible delays; businesses and residents have received advance notice via mailed Construction Notices.
- The ASE site is one of several new locations in 2025 proposed under City-approved ASE expansion
