Position on Jock River cut and fill plans in Barrhaven

New updated content: 2020-01-20 10:26:09 Paul reported on a recent approval by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority to allow a very large site alteration within the Jock River flood plain in Barrhaven in support of nearby residential development plans. It is unusual by its size (a very large volume of soil to be displaced) and by the fact that it could only be approved by special exception by the RCVA

Letter re: LRT extension to Kanata (Greenbelt) update

New updated content: 2018-03-26 10:04:19 As part of the Phase 3 extension to Kanata, the LRT will extend from the Canadian Tire Centre to Hazeldean Road. Our assessment is that this doesn’t present a significant risk to greenspace. The only sensitive area along the path is the crossing of Poole Creek. The current plan calls for the line to be elevated in this area so as to protect the creek

The draft incorporates a number of proposals and suggestions that were made at previous consultations but still proposes an alignment that runs through the Greenbelt lengthwise through its narrowest reach, causing significant habitat fragmentation compared to the more southerly route proposed

Planning the new hospital (1)

While the Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments remain an open file at City Hall, the Hospital has moved swiftly to “turn the page” in its dealing with the community. First, it commissioned a report by two respected experts in public engagement, Don Lenihan and Grégoire Jodouin: Setting the Stage, Turning the Page (September 20, 2017, 36 pp., 2.6 MB). The report sets out a strategy of deliberate engagement. Then

LRT Extension through the Greenbelt and Beyond

With Stage 1 of the LRT expected to come into service in 2018, construction on its extension in Stage 2 is planned to start in 2019. This will take the LRT through the Greenbelt and beyond and so raises concerns for its impact on greenspace and wetlands along the way. Due to an unforeseen budget surplus, the City saw an opportunity to extend the western terminal of Stage 2 beyond
