Cullen instead ran for the Ontario New Democratic Party (NDP). The seat was won by Tory Garry Guzzo. In the 2003 provincial election, former Ottawa mayor Jim Watson ousted Guzzo. Former Ottawa mayor Bob Chiarelli won the seat in a March 4, 2010, by-election, after Jim Watson left his seat to run in the 2010 Ottawa municipal election.

Iris station is one of the few grade-level stations on the Southwest Ottawa Transitway. It is located on Iris Street, a collector road in western Ottawa.It is both one of the smallest Transitway stations and one of the least used, likely because it is only 400 m (1/4 mi) south of Queensway station, has no trip generators apart from residential commuters in the area, and does not have any major routes connecting at the station. Only two suburban feeder routes (routes 50 and 58) enter the Transitway at this station. Iris station is being converted to a light rail station as a part of Stage 2 of the Confederation Line. As a result of this, numerous significant changes and realignments are being made in the vicinity, including the installation of a new bridge on Iris Street and the relocation of the Pinecrest Creek. In June 2022, the segment of Transitway between Iris station and Baseline station closed permanently, with buses currently detoured along Woodroffe Avenue and re-entering the Transitway at this station.

Centrepointe is a neighbourhood in College Ward in the west end of the city of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It was formerly part of the city of Nepean. It is a newer residential subdivision in the west/central part of Ottawa, developed from 1984 onwards, and is informally bounded by Baseline Road to the north, Woodroffe Avenue to the east, the CN railroad to the south, and the Briargreen subdivision and Forest Ridge Apartments to the west. The housing stock includes approximately 1,000 detached homes, with the remainder mostly townhomes (row houses) and terrace homes. According to the Canada 2016 Census, the neighbourhood had a total population of 7,245. Previously farmland, it was purchased by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, which let the land lay fallow for many years. It had been intended to be developed as a demonstration model of an "ideal community". After facing budget cuts, CMHC sold the land, with most being sold off to Ottawa's largest housing developer Minto Group, which built and sold off a wide range of homes from townhouses to large upscale houses. The neighbourhood was built to be Nepean's "downtown", with plans to build shops and offices and a civic square, to house Nepean's city hall. The neighbourhood was built as a "self-contained community" and was projected to cost $700 million.Its major attraction is Ben Franklin Place, named for the former mayor of Nepean, which houses the Centrepointe Branch of the Ottawa Public Library, the locally renowned Centrepointe Theatre, and the former Nepean City Hall (now housing satellite offices for the City of Ottawa). The neighbourhood has a significant Jewish population. The 2011 National Household Survey indicated that 13% of the neighbourhood's population was Jewish.The Centrepointe Community Association was formed on February 4, 2006 to represent and advance the interests of neighbourhood residents. A major issue confronting the association is the City of Ottawa's proposed development of the Centrepointe Town Centre concept, which could add up to two million square feet of high density residential and commercial space to the area. Residential construction in Centrepointe continues. In 2007, a former snow dump next to Centrepointe Park was converted into approximately 260 townhouses, terrace homes and low-rise apartments, which was completed in early 2011. The Centrepointe Community Association has not been very active as of late; however, it does advertise a community garage sale each spring. The easternmost portion of Centrepointe underwent major development. As of January 2012, construction had finished on three major projects: the City of Ottawa Archives at the corner of Tallwood Drive and Woodroffe Avenue, a new trades building for nearby Algonquin College, and expansion of Centrepointe Theatre at Ben Franklin Place. Baseline Station Portions of Constellation Drive were rerouted to accommodate the new buildings and as part of the City's long-term public transportation plan. As of 2022, two major apartment building projects are underway in the north section of Centrepointe: a 2-tower (22 and 24 storeys) Richcraft condominium complex on the southwest corner at 19 Centrepointe Drive, and a 15-storey rental apartment building near the northeast corner of Constellation Drive (2140 Baseline Road). Baseline station is expected to be the terminus of Stage 2 of the LRT's Confederation Line, to be completed in 2023.Many school-aged children attend Briargreen, Manordale, Knoxdale (French Immersion), Greenbank Middle School (closed in 2017), and then Sir Robert Borden High School.
