  • Appendix 5 Station Descriptions And
    Appendix 5 Station Descriptions and Technical Overview Stage 2 light rail transit (LRT) stations will follow the same standards, design principles, and connectivity and mobility requirements as Stage 1 Confederation Line. Proponent Teams were instructed, through the guidelines outlined in the Project Agreement (PA), to design stations that will integrate with Stage 1, which include customer facilities, accessibility features, and the ability to support the City’s Transportation Master Plan (TMP) goals for public transit and ridership growth. The station features planned for the Stage 2 LRT Project will be designed and built on these performance standards which include: Barrier-free path of travel to entrances of stations; Accessible fare gates at each entrance, providing easy access for customers using mobility devices or service animals; Tactile wayfinding tiles will trace the accessible route through the fare gates, to elevators, platforms and exits; Transecure waiting areas on the train platform will include accessible benches and tactile/Braille signs indicating the direction of service; Tactile warning strips and inter-car barriers to keep everyone safely away from the platform edge; Audio announcements and visual displays for waiting passengers will precede each train’s arrival on the platform and will describe the direction of travel; Service alerts will be shown visually on the passenger information display monitors and announced audibly on the public-address system; All wayfinding and safety signage will be provided following the applicable accessibility standards (including type size, tactile signage, and appropriate colour contrast); Clear, open sight lines and pedestrian design that make wayfinding simple and intuitive; and, Cycling facilities at all stations including shelter for 80 per cent of the provided spaces, with additional space protected to ensure cycling facilities can be doubled and integrated into the station’s footprint.

Please join me and City staff at an information session to learn more about what the City is doing to prevent the spread of the emerald ash borer and how you can help mitigate the impact of this insect on our ash trees. The presence of emerald ash borer poses a serious threat to 25 percent of the City’s forest cover located on both public and private properties. The information sessions are scheduled for: Date: April 12, 2012 Time: 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. Location: Ben Franklin Place, 101 Centrepointe Drive, Andrew Haydon Hall Date: April 23, 2012 Time: 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. Location: Jim Durrell Recreation Centre, 1264 Walkley Road, Ellwood Hall St. Patrick’s Home Construction My office worked with City of Ottawa Traffic Management staff to resolve concerns associated with construction activity at 2865 Riverside Drive (St. Patrick’s Home of Ottawa). To secure the safety of residents in the surrounding community, I ensured that the following actions were carried out: • Restriction of all vehicular traffic to the Riverside Drive entrance of the construction site. • A guarantee by the contractor that the fence removed without permission from Garner Avenue will be repaired, at their cost, when weather conditions permit. • The erection of “No Construction Traffic is Permitted” signs leading into Garner Avenue.

As no Canadian Air Force yet existed, thousands of Canadians fought the First World War in British flying units. Canadians first served with the Royal Flying Corps (rfc) or with the Royal Naval Air Service (rnas). These two services amalgamated on 1 April 1918 into the Royal Air Force (raf). In total, an estimated 13,000–22,000 individuals from Canada joined the British flying services. In 1924, the Royal Canadian Air Force (rcaf) was created. With the outbreak of war in September 1939, the rcaf was able to draw on an existing cadre of officers and airmen and also attracted experienced personnel from private enterprise. By 1945, close to 250,000 men and women had served in the rcaf at home and abroad. This guide will illustrate the process of researching an individual’s service, from the essential starting point of service documents to supporting resources for detail and further discovery.

  • South Ottawa Roads, Playgrounds, Pathways, Studies, Real Estate Tapped for 2017 Cash South Ottawa Projects in 2017 Budget
    South Ottawa roads, playgrounds, pathways, studies, real estate tapped for 2017 cash South Ottawa projects in 2017 budget Ottawa South News Dec 29, 2016 By Erin McCracken Dozens of projects in Ottawa’s southern wards have been tapped to receive 2017 budget dollars. Here’s a breakdown, ward by ward: Capital Ward Residents who live in or frequent the Billings Bridge and Heron Park neighbourhoods of Capital Ward can count on the addition of a new red light camera at Bank Street and Riverside Drive in the coming months. It’s just one of a number of items for that part of the ward that are included in the city’s 2017 budget. The design of a new pathway will be completed in 2017 to allow users of the Rideau River Eastern Pathway to walk or cycle under the south side of Billings Bridge at Bank Street and Riverside Drive. Construction is scheduled for 2018 and the cost is being shared with the National Capital Commission. “That means people going east-west along that multi-use pathway won’t have to come up and cross Bank Street anymore,” said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. “It is safer, removes a number of movements, and there will be fewer people for drivers to keep an eye on.” inReadThat will complement plans to begin work on sections of the Rideau River Western Pathway in nearby Old Ottawa South, he said, adding that currently is a patchwork of trails to the University of Ottawa and on to Sandy Hill. Faircrest Heights, Alta Vista, Billings Bridge and Heron Park residents can also look forward to construction beginning on the Rideau Canal footbridge that will link Fifth Avenue in the Glebe with Clegg Street in Old Ottawa East.
