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!

We look forward to seeing everyone again next June. - In terms of signage, suggestions included the provision of wall-mounted commercial signs and lights in scale with the village character of the street. Participants feel that strong design guidelines would protect and enhance the unique identity of Bank Street. It would also make it attractive to business and property owners because the rules would be known, apply to everyone and be endorsed by the community, making the development process more predictable. PARKING The provision of parking for customers from outside the neighbourhood is perceived as an issue. At the same time, it was noted that the most successful retail part of the street has the smallest parking supply. Participants made the following suggestions to increase the number of parking spaces: build under- ground parking to meet parking requirements of new developments and ex- hardware plore the feasibility of building a parking facility off Bank Street.

S NAPDRAGON BY KATHRIN VON DEHN GALLERY It was to be the second year of Blink Gallery at Header House in Major's Hill Park, Ottawa. The Blink Collective, a group of 14 local visual artists, had their opening on May 28. By the morning of May 29, all the work had disap- peared, gone without a clue as to motivation or signs of entry. The Ottawa Po- lice detective in charge of the case has never seen anything like it. As one of the members of Blink, and a new one at that, for me it was an ex- tremely shocking incident. I had joined the collective recently and was look- ing forward to being part of a group of emerging professional artists. Our mandate is to show edgy, interesting and unusual works and to hold work- shops to educate the public on our chosen craft. I was asked to be the resident jew- eller and had over 50 pieces in my collectionall, of course, now missing. I have been a Glebite for the past four years and have been designing and producing jew- ellery and paint- ings for the past 15 years. I stud- ied in Toronto at George Brown College for three years in the Jew- ellery Arts pro- gram and was a three-year resi- dent at Toronto's Harbourfront stu- dio. Since mov- ing to Ottawa and prior to joining Blink, I missed belonging to communi- anartist'sKathrin Von Dehn most of us work ty. Although independently, we all benefit from being part of an association of other artists.

Eleven Pieces Old & New

by John Dennis

May 28 to June 25 In her exhibit entitled Eleven Pieces Old & New at the Glebe COmmunity Centre, Tanis Dennis shows the transition of her drawings and paintings over the years. After studying fine arts at college and university, art took a back seat for a number of years as Tanis worked on her career as a librarian and then as a stay-at-home mom. Her passion for making art would occasionally resurface as she completed a drawing or painting for her children. That pas- sion was fully reignited when Tanis was asked to submit a painting for a col- lage celebrating Alberta's 100th anniversary. Since then, Tanis has spent more Ottawa School of Art time focusing on painting and creating art. As well as trying to make time for her own art work. Tanis teaches art classes at Lady Evelyn School and Arts Summer Camps Under One Roof at Glebe-St. James United Church. www.artottawa.ca Art is exhibited in the Meeting Room located on the main floor 613 241 7471 of the Glebe Community Centre.
