4. City Services

a. Presentation: LTR Phase-2, O-Train South Extension Michael Brossoit, Amanda Thompson and Theo Tettey from the City of Ottawa, and Duncan Elliott and Mandy Downes from TNext, were present to provide insight into the O-Train South Extension construction project. The presentation is available here: https://hunt-club.ca/meetings/2021-03-01_4a_LRTSouthExtension-CityOfOttawa.pdf Topics covered in the Q&A session: ● Many concerns were voiced regarding no bathrooms in South Keys station: Linebank, Bayview, Airport, and some retail near South Keys have bathrooms, but could still be a distance to get to, especially for seniors. Riley suggested writing a formal letter to Riley and Dianne. ● The old single-line track will incorporate double-line sections to allow cars to switch. ● OC Transpo service for further areas (ex. Riverside/Uplands) will maintain local access routes going to South Keys. ● No planned changes to parking at Greenboro (free). EY Centre is privately owned property and parking is up to the owners to manage. ● 1% for public art is being adhered to the Stage-2 project. ● Bike parking area. What is policy with Bikes? ● A bylaw was passed by city council; bikes & scooters will be permitted on the train. It is uncertain if this will change when the lines eventually connect, and ridership returns.

Contact Riley if you have any questions, and they will get back to us. b. Councillor Riley Brockington’s report The Councillor presented a written report: https://hunt-club.ca/meetings/2021-03-01_councillors_report.pdf

Proceeding with construction of McCarthy Park basketball court, with 2 options: 2 half-size courts, or 1 regulation size court: https://hunt-club.ca/meetings/2021-03-01_4b_McCarthyPark_basketball_options.pdf Majority vote on option 2, the regulation size court. Concerns raised over outside public booking the court and taking time away from local residents who want to play. c. Pathway at 168 Twyford Street A pathway that Twyford Street to Uplands Court Condos (CC143/CC109). Half of the pathway is owned by the City of Ottawa. The curb at Twyford does not have a cut to the road, for accessibility. Riley’s office is pushing forward the cut for the pathway curb. The snow removal issue will require a discussion between the CC143 and the City of Ottawa to come to an agreement. If needed, possibly a petition. d. Residential Vacant Unit Tax https://engage.ottawa.ca/VUT Peter Brimbacome would like to participate to help write an official submission from HCCA. 5. Other

a. Tree Giveaway EcologyOttawa is hosting a Tree Giveaway, and could be a great initiative for the neighbourhood. Riley would prefer if HCCA took the lead.

It is unknown what type of trees are available, however you can see the various types of trees given away in previous years. Lynette would like to know what type of trees.

Motion: The HCCA participates in EcologyOttawa’s Tree Giveaway initiative. Moved by Sue McCarthy , seconded by John Reid, motion carried.
