The region is buying 150 acres of Green-belt to build the road in Nepean, between Merivale Road and the future Hwy. 416. Included in that land is 43 acres of "severed lands" north of the proposed road. The National Capital Commission is willing to sell the land, but at a price projected as high as $300,000 an acre.

Community associations in Nepean have lobbied long and hard to have the lands remain as green space. But the region wants to sell the land for development, to pull in as much as $13 million to help pay for the $46-million project A motion by Ottawa Coun. Diane Holmes to preserve the severed lands as green space failed in a 16-12 vote Wednesday. So the road project, as set out in the region's budget tabled Wednesday, will go ahead. The road will be built but it could be years before the plan for development of the severed lands is approved.

Coun.

Al Loney said a top price of $100,000 an acre might be a more reasonable price in today's depressed real estate market. A group of opponents to the project, who have said this is just the start of the Greenbelt's demise, was threatened with ejection twice by regional Chair Peter Clark after outbursts during the meeting. Clark said if Nepean wants an expensive park on the severed lands, it can buy them. He said Holmes's motion disallowing development on the severed lands would have killed the road project, which has been in the works for 20 years. Ottawa Coun.

Alex Cullen argued the region could find money for the project without handing Greenbelt to developers. "The public value Greenbelt land. They think it's a sacred trust," said Cullen.

Cassey said the decision to honor the agreement was based on the projected $311,000 it would cost to break the contract with Baxter, which also sponsored ARMX.
