News & Announcements

The City has received notice from the contractor for the Bayview Friendship Park construction that they are anticipating resuming construction on the site next week. The immediate work will include the installation of new pathway lighting poles and connections. This work may start as early as Monday, May 13th, or later in the week; no additional scheduling information has been received at this time.

The applicants for 1950 Scott, 312 and 314 Clifton (Zoning – D02-02-18-0094) have submitted revisions in response to comments concerning active transportation and bicycle parking. As a result, the underground parking garage has been redesigned to incorporate more bicycle parking and with proper storage. 158 bicycle parking spaces are now proposed, including 16 visitor spaces. It was previously 79.

This flyer will be circulated this weekend to residents in the proximity of Cleary and Dominion:

Dear Resident:

This notice is to advise that, as part of future cut and cover construction of the Stage 2 Confederation Line West extension, crews are beginning preparatory activities on the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway between Dominion Avenue and Cleary Avenue.

As the 417 widening project continues, the Maitland Eastbound on and off ramps will close Monday morning, May 13 before rush hour. The MTO anticipates the closure will be in effect for two weeks.

In order to avoid additional congestion at the intersection of Carling and Maitland (the current detour for the Carling Ave WB off-ramp closure), the MTO and the city have decided on a new detour which will see northbound Maitland traffic detoured to Carling Avenue via Woodward Drive.

Some of you may recall that in 2015, Built Heritage Sub-Committee, Planning Committee and Council gave a heritage designation for the old cottage gas station at the corner of Richmond Road and Island Park Drive. Since the designation, the property has changed hands and is now owned by the Trinity Group who are now ready to move forward with re-developing the property.

The 2019 construction season has arrived on Sherbourne Road and it will be a busy one.

As last year's watermain project wraps up near Redwood, the entire stretch of Sherbourne from Carling to Byron is set to be resurfaced.

Improvements are coming to sidewalks on Hilda Street and Patricia Avenue North later this year. The following notice was sent to nearby residents. It's important to note the rehabilitiations will occur on the west side of Hilda and the east side of Patricia.

Dear Resident,

The City of Ottawa has begun design work for a multi-site sidewalk, curb, multi-use pathway and traffic-calming measures project in the west end of Ottawa. This work is being completed to provide safer traveled paths and to improve user connectivity to pedestrian links. 

You may recall that for a while now, we've been in the early stages of discussing a proposed development at Churchill Ave and Byron Place. We held a community meeting for this conceptual development in October, the details of which can be found here. The applicants took the community feedback, made some revisions to their plans, and have now formally submitted a Zoning By-Law Amendment Application and Site Plan Control for this development project. 

As the Red Cross is actively engaged in supporting the families affected by the spring floods, the City as asked them to attend a number of Community Information Sessions, one of which conflicts with the timing of the Workshop May 14th session.

We will keep this post updated once the session is rescheduled.

Many community members have been inquiring about the future of 89 Richmond Rd, a property that experienced a fire in 2017 and has sat vacant since. The property owners are now ready to move forward with a proposed development at that location. The property owners are proposing to construct a six (6) storey mixed-use building on the subject property.
