Volume 36 Number 6 June 16, 2006 be PviptirJune 16, 2006 Vol. 36 No. 6 Serving the Glebe community since 1973 FREE Residents brainstorm on the future of Bank Street BY SYLVIE GRENIER On May 10, the Glebe Community Association launched the second phase of community consultations on the future of Bank Street. Phase two began with a brainstorming event on how the community would like to see the build- ings and businesses along Bank Street develop, including the types of uses, de- sign criteria and amenities. A group of residents offered their ideas about the following main issues: types of uses, building height, building location on properties, design guide- lines, parking and transition from commercial use to residential use. This arti- cle provides a summary of what was said. TYPES OF USES There is a strong consensus on the desire to maintain and enhance the vil- lage mainstreet atmosphere of Bank Street. The following characteristics of Bank Street are highly praised: the walkability of the street, the ability to form personal relationships with merchants, the opportunity to have informal en- counters along the way, and the variety of small retail stores that provide unique goods and services responding to the daily needs of residents. Participants recommended development with a mix of uses, including retail on the ground floor with office and residential uses above. They wanted to en- courage the small independently owned shops because they provide a shop- Art in the Park: ping experience different from that in a suburban mall and help create the identity of the Glebe. the sun shines after all!

  • Downtown LRT Stations
    Downtown LRT Stations Connecting Downtown Ottawa To address thebottleneckoftransitserviceinthedowntownthe City is moving forward with the Ottawa Light Rail Transit (OLRT) project.To ensure that the downtown core will be effectively served it was determined that 5 of the 13 stations be located within downtown Ottawa, each bringing a unique contribution to Ottawa’s transit system and its connections to important downtown destinations. When choosing where to put the downtown stations and their entrances, the City looked towards two guiding principles: • Which locations will service the maximum number of riders possible? • Are those locations technically feasible within our project budget? Campus Station The Campus Station is located near the current OC Transpo bus station and will be integrated with the University of Ottawa campus, Colonel By Drive and the historic Rideau Canal. This station will service the Sandy Hill neighbourhood, as well as the Elgin Street business district and the Golden Triangle neighbourhood via the Corktown Footbridge. Rideau Station Rideau Station is an underground station located on Rideau Street and will provide access to the historic ByWard Market, the National Gallery, the US Embassy, office buildings, retail shops, and restaurants on Rideau Street and in the Byward Market, as well as destinations such as nearby hotels and the Ottawa Convention Centre. It is also the location of the proposed Arts Hub, bringing together the Ottawa Art Gallery, new theatre space and a number of important local arts organizations. Downtown East Station The Downtown East station is an underground station located on Queen Street between Bank and Metcalfe, just two short blocks from the Parliament Hill grounds, including the Peace Tower, House of Commons, the Library of Parliament, Veterans Affairs and Justice Canada.
