CONSTRUCTION NOTICE
Dear Resident,
In early October, the City of Ottawa will begin construction work in your neighbourhood. This work is being conducted to improve the pathways in your community.
Last year, we consulted with Kitchissippi Ward on how to spend our Cash-in-Lieu funds. The top priority for the Ward is a new field house for Laroche Park. Over the past several months, we have been pressing staff to begin getting this project underway in earnest, as our CIL funds are building up. In addition to a new field house, there will also be the long-awaited Sens Rink.
A Site Plan Control application has been submitted to the City of Ottawa for a development at 99-103 Pinhey Street, on the southeast corner of Armstrong Street and Pinhey Street. The proposed development would be a 24-unit, four-storey apartment building with underground parking. Seven parking spaces and 12 bike parking spaces are being proposed as part of this development.
The City of Ottawa wants to hear your feedback about the age-friendly improvements that were recently completed at McCormick Park.
As a follow up to the Older Adult Plan initiative 1.7: Make age-friendly improvements and designate one existing City park per year as “age-friendly”, city staff have prepared a quick survey to gather feedback about the age-friendly improvements that were made to McCormick Park, located at 294 Carruthers Ave. The survey will remain open until October 15th 2018.
You may recall in February, we held an Open House to discuss a proposed development at 174 Forward Ave. At the time, the applicant initially proposed an eight-storey residential building containing 24 units and six parking spaces. Concerns were raised by the local residents and the Mechanicsville Community Association (MCA) with regard to the proposed height, locations of the parking garage and the waste collection room, and the reduced corner side yard.
Over the past two years, our office has been working to address a concern brought forward to us by the community regarding Bayview Friendship Park. There was a request from the community to remove the sand around the playground equipment since it was attracting cat feces. In addition, there were community concerns about the stairway access from Hilda being closed during the winter months, and the overall accessibility of the park.
