Ottawa River Outfalls Rehabilitation Project Woodroffe, North Rice, Cleary, Mansfield and Workman Avenues

As you may be aware, a Site Plan Control application for 163, 159 & 167 Parkdale Ave has been submitted. You can review the application further on DevApps. The Zoning for these properties was previously approved in 2013 and the buildings previously on the site have since been demolished. 

As you may recall, there is an approved development for the southern half of 190 Richmond Rd, behind the Real Canadian Superstore. We wanted to let the community know that there will be some construction activity occuring on the site soon, but it is not for the approved development.

From Clark Construction Management: 

Please be advised that on August 5th and 7th the following operations will be happening at 1451 Wellington West Project. At 7:00am concrete trucks will be entering the site from Wellington St, turning north on Carleton Ave., after that they will turn left on Garrison St. 

After they come to the end of Garrison St. the concrete trucks will turn right/north on Rockhurst briefly then be backed up into the sites Gate #3. 

At which time they will be emptied of there contents and leave by taking Rockhurst St. right out to Scott St.

This week, the City saw the launch of e-scooter rental services after Council earlier approved an e-scooter pilot period and allowed the devices on City roads. Based on the social media interactions I've had, I thought it might be useful to provide a little more information about the scooters and how to use them. You're likely seeing them parked around the City and parts of our ward, or have seen people riding them around.

We previously posted a head's up, and now the full application for a proposed development at 177-179 Armstrong and 268 Carruthers is available on DevApps.

You may recall that in early May, we hosted a pre-application open house to discuss a proposed development at 327 Richmond Rd. You can view a recording of the open house here. 

Dear Councillor Leiper and community association representatives,

The City of Ottawa has received a combined Zoning By-law Amendment and Site Plan Control application to facilitate the construction of a low-rise apartment building on Armstrong, and a detached dwelling on Carruthers.

For ease of access, please find attached the presentations made by OPH's Dr. Etches and the City Manager at the City Council meeting of June 24

For those following the progress of the Zoning By-Law Amendment for 1655 Carling, please note that there has been a re-submission of the application which can be reviewed here on DevApps. The big change is that the building height has been reduced to 18 storeys based on discussions with staff and UDRP recommendations.
