Community centres emphasis on the inadequate facilities for our community? are the focal point of every community and deserve much more attention and support. The Glebe Community Centre is much more attractive and LYNN SMYTH: Brewer Park cannot afford anymore development. It functional. More funding is needed and could be found by derailing some serves its purpose of a community park area and any further development funds from the palladium. Support from City Hall would be much greater if would only diminish its usefulness to Ottawa South. Continued support for the community associations had direct involvement on council. Direct after-school programs can be counted on at Trinity. The Hopewell involvement comes from each community association electing a representative expansion/renovation combined project by OBE and the city will save money to City Hall. The Old Firehall could and should expand to space at for both. The city can only hope at this point that the Sunnyside courthouse Lansdowne and to possible space at the Sunnyside Courthouse. will be given to the city by the province for a possible site for day-care. JIM WATSON: Constant consultation with OSCA and the Ottawa South MICHAEL LYNCH: This is the main reason for running. Ottawa South residents will truly represent the recreational needs and future use of space in can’t wait, the space is needed NOW! Looking for space has created a paper- the community. Brewer Park needs the consultation of the community for trail to City Hall. Working with local schools who are looking to build and land use and building space for the community. The green space should be share recreational space with Ottawa South, is a very real possibility. Both kept and the existing buildings should be added on to instead of constructing St. Margaret Mary’s and Hopewell are in the same situation as Ottawa South. completely new ones. The vacancy rate of Ottawa South is less than 1% and It’s an all-win situation for all involved to share needed facilities. Seventy- the Sunnyside Courthouse has the possible use for apartments for students and five children in the After Four group are too much for the Firehall to handle. seniors and/or an in-day care centre. As for space at Sunnyside and Bronson, one building could be available to help in solving our "space strain". 14 OSCAR November 1991

QUESTION #2 JIM WATSON: In Ottawa South both an eyesore and hazard called Bank Street. Car, bicyclist and buses alike are not safe due to the parking and What would you do to enhance the quality of life in this community? lamp posts. The city says it does not have the money to do the job now, but it does find the dollar for frivolous itéms i.e. ELVIS LIVES LANE! ! Finding MICHAEL LYNCH: An increase in funds for recreational programs is alternative forms of transportation is a must, this includes more room for needed to ensure quality. Programs based in Ottawa South are used by bikes. Right now there are a few, if any, bike racks along Bank Street. Bike residents of the Glebe and by Carleton students. Environmentally, not only racks not only encourage the use of bicycles but we wouldn’t necessarily is a clean-up needed, but a general beautification of the community required. have to look at every parking meter with a bike locked to it! The city has Prime examples are bulletin boards in centrally located areas and garbage done nothing to make it easier and safer for the bicyclist. More bike paths containers on street comers. As for the Rideau River clean-up, wanting to are needed, that includes a six foot path on the side of side streets (i.e. have the water at the same level of clean as years ago. But when the Rideau Cameron and Ossington). The parking policies should be for each individual River was clean there were no records kept. The Rideau River would make neighbourhood. A blanket policy for the city, as there is now, does not a great Natural Wetlands area for wildlife and residents to enjoy. It would reflect the need of the community. be a wonderful area for family outings with a picnic area. The quality of life in Ottawa South is "under siege" with cars (see question #3).

Billings Bridge Plaza C) Lansdowne Park D) Perley Hospital?

FRANK DE JONG: The quality of life in Ottawa South is seriously A) Brewer Park compromised by the pollution, noise, danger and wasteful land use resulting from heavy automobile traffic. Reducing the number of cars would do much JIM WATSON: Little or no development here. Some beautification by to enhance life quality. More support for community-based programs would adding some shrubs and trees. help build cohesion among citizens. People should not be forced to leave the area for culture and entertainment. More cultural and sports facilities are LYNN SMYTH: There should be no future development. Brewer Pond needed. should be naturalized by introducing wildflowers, water lilies, swamp trees etc. Let’s add boardwalks for pedestrians. Most of the work and ideas will JIM WATSON: Please see response to Question #6. come from within the community from ‘The Friends of the Rideau River’. More trees have to be planted. The park’s active areas should be reassessed LYNN SMYTH: Please see response to Question #6. for softening i.e. is the area "over programmed"? Lighting should be added for pedestrians and Carleton students and timed parking should be introduced. QUESTION #3 MICHAEL LYNCH: The park is full as it is now, and should be What do you see as the primary transportation-related needs for the maintained. Bushes and shrubs should be planted. The pond can be turned Ottawa South area? into a natural wetland project, it could never be a beach again and what else could be put in? Small items can be added such as: shrubs between soccer FRANK DE JONG: Restricting auto use in favour of walking, bicycle and field and parking lot; community bulletin board; a fence around the skating clean fuel mass transit would make Ottawa South infinitely more liveable. oval, bus/car drop off spot. The courthouse has future community use More green space, gardens, quiet and more clean air would be some potential. And one question should be asked, why are the field lights in the immediate benefits. An electric light rail system would serve Ottawa much park on overnight? Brewer Park has a flexibility that must be maintained for better than noisy polluting buses. Closing Bank Street through the Glebe into long-term future use. a walking mall would be great improvements. FRANK DE JONG: Should continue as is at present. The area near the river should be allowed to go wild with perhaps a walking path through it. MICHAEL LYNCH: A common sense approach to problem streets and Cars should not be allowed to drive on the grass around playing fields. A comers is \yhat will solve many transportation needs. There is no overall dog running area should be established. solution, but many small problem solving ideas. For example, leave the lamp posts up on Bank street - they provide in-place speed barriers as they B) Billings Bridge Plaza themselves will slow traffic. No one would want to speed in the right-hand lane knowing that a possibility of hitting a lamp post exists. There is a LYNN SMYTH: Do not change zoning for expansion and no level parking. strong need for safe crossing onto bike paths as well as a need for increases Why encourage driving? The big hope is that the expanded transitway will in the number of bike paths and easier access to the paths as well. Lights are take traffic away.

Residents who are forced to park on roads because regards to any changes made to the plaza. of no driveways (and often get ticketed) should be provided at no charge by the city, parking on a limited number per household. People must stop MICHAEL LYNCH: The new office towers are great, and will create relying on their car and start using mass transportation. Not only will traffic employment opportunities. The mall is packed as it is now. Any mall thin out but the environment benefits as well. There is a strong need to stop expansion should be done with sensitivity with the area environment Carleton students using cars by working with the university to create a (sewage). A walk-over is needed from the apartments over Bank Street. Carleton University bus service which would pick students up at to-be- determined spots through the region. FRANK DE JONG: Billings Bridge is an ugly, sprawling mall and shouldn’t be enlarged. The huge parking lot should be landscaped and LYNN SMYTH: There are two levels of work in regards to local beautiful. transportation. First, local community traffic. A local traffic plan for Ottawa South is a priority in the 2nd term, and to make it part of the Official Plan JIM WATSON: Totally against expansion, if only because there is not for Ottawa. A review of local speed limits is needed. Reducing the limit to enough parking now. 30km/h will increase safety and put traffic now on side streets (as a shortcut) to the faster main streets. Currently most paths are for recreational use, paths C) Lansdowne Park for bike traffic can be established by making two-lane streets one-lane for vehicular traffic and the second strictly for bicycles. A one year trial should MICHAEL LYNCH: Lansdowne has the same area as Brewer Park and be proposed with STRICT enforcement of traffic laws for bicycle users (i.e. could become a regional park by tearing up the parking lot and "greening" it. going the wrong way on Cameron or Ossington). Large cities throughout Lansdowne has been an issue since I came to Ottawa South and was the first Europe where bike traffic is higher than car traffic have little or no traffic community meeting attended years ago. The Cattle Castle should be saved. congestion. The second level of work is with the Public Transit. People who Renovate but don’t rebuild. Save the facade (restore) for an entrance to a can, must start using transit more. This could be forced by stopping parking park. To tear it down would be unfortunate. Private money through the subsidies for those who work downtown. Public servants are the #1 users of community can be raised to help save it. There is absolutely no room for a parking downtown. Ottawa has a fabulous bus system that could be utilized convention centre as a minimum of 200,000 square feet is required to make by these people. But at the same time, present and future bus routes must be it successful. Heritage Ontario and the "Mainstreet" program should come to properly maintained, not only for riders but for homeowners where bus routes Ottawa South. As well, the land across Lansdowne should be developed if exist. There is a priority for non-vehicular transit which goes back to the first only to help the Glebe businesses which are suffering and increase pedestrian level of work needed in Ottawa South. traffic to those businesses. Mini-office facilities could be created there. With total regards to the Lansdowne affair, not only should residents be considered but local community businesses as well. OSCAR November 1991 15

Lansdowne Park Pavilion. There is no room for a hotel convention centre, it would create a should serve the area residents and not the whole region. No more year long "SuperEX-like" traffic jam.

This move Centre, so full support to fully restore the Cattle Castle for community and represents a long range goal for lowering taxes. An example of why this private use should be there. No new building for the park, just more should be done is the Ottawa Fire Department being too small to afford a landscaped green space. Underground parking will allow more green space new communication service BUT too big to NOT get a new service. Property and play area for the community. One thing that should be at Lansdowne tax relief NOW! City Council should work with school boards to eliminate and is not is a Post Office. Ottawa South and Glebe residents would see it duplication (i.e. offer one bus service for all boards that would be full instead as central for both. Any commercial use must not encroach on the park. of 4 half-full buses). As well, there is a large gap between the have and have not school systems that has to be eliminated. Also schools should get back D) Perley Hospital to teaching more of the basics and stop spending money on "luxuries" such as ski trips. FRANK DE JONG: Future development of the Perley Hospital includes student residences, artist studios and seniors’ apartments. LYNN SMYTH: There are 4 main issues. Residents are warned about the environment. The past three years there have been 584 trees planted versus JIM WATSON: Full consultation with neighbours before further only 20 being cut down.

This is one idea not yet looked at, let’s take the initiative! The City of Ottawa had a safety audit and now are awaiting the results. Each year Ottawa South residents call with complaints about students. A task force LYNN SMYTH: The Perley Hospital is obliged to go to the highest bidder, met only 5-6 times.

Housing is the most obvious and The problem also stems from absentee landlords who don’t take care of their appropriate use for the building.

No How do you feel about Market Value Assessment and its more subsidizing such projects as a new baseball stadium and Triple À implementation? baseball. Common sense is needed at City Hall, with more regard for the taxpayer by doing a better job of listening and mediating and understanding JIM WATSON: If elected there would be a fight against the Market Value both sides. There is a need for both sides of the issue to be respected by the Assessment (MVA) that was done a few years ago. The system harms mediator and that can be done by me. The task force put together to deal Ottawa South, Glebe, Dow’s Lake, area seniors and those on fixed incomes. with student noise/rowdiness has for all intents and purposes...collapsed.

One police by the police at night would help to increase safety. force would allow more police to walk "a beat" and stay in touch with the community. Overgovemment has caused our tax increases, it can be undone. QUESTION #7

LYNN SMYTH: Older residents are affected most by MVA. It seems How can socially assisted housing be accommodated in Ottawa South? everytime the city needs more money the MVA system is changed. As it is Is it important to attract lower income residents to Ottawa South? What now, MVA is very bureaucratic and gives a false image of the area. Smaller ideas do you have for encouraging the process? units from builders would be one way to combat the current system. The main problem is to stop spending from going up. Due to the leaf recycling MICHAEL LYNCH: 90% of assisted housing is in Ottawa, some should be program $80,000 has been saved from fertilizer, as composted leaves were spread throughout the region. Take an image of a concrete jungle in Ottawa used instead. Further cuts needed, for example why should the city cut grass if houses were constructed for socially assisted housing.

JIM WATSON: Ottawa South is a good example of balanced living - low BOARD RACE HAS LAST MINUTE SIGN-UPS income to very well-off. There is a housing crisis in Ottawa and the community environment should be taken into consideration at every occasion. We must be creative in our solutions. Since our October issue was printed a flurry of candidates registered for seats on the four school boards in Ottawa. The various boards this year face an FRANK DE JONG: The Capital Ward is extremely under-represented by angry electorate who see duplication in the administration and bussing socially assisted housing. This gap should be narrowed. New housing could systems between them. The trustees elected will be hard pressed to justify be filled and existing building could be purchased. why it takes 88 people in Ottawa to do what 15 people do in Winnipeg. As election day nears, ask your trustee candidates these questions and any others Ail four candidates expressed their opinions of the major concerns of you have regarding education in Ottawa. Here is the final list of candidates Ottawa South residents. Also in my conversations, each gave their for this month’s election with the number of seats elected noted in brackets. reasons for being part of this election. Alphabetically, I give you their reasons: OTTAWA BOARD OF EDUCATION ZONE 2 (2 elected) FRANK DE JONG: Frank has a 50-year vision for Ottawa. He sees Brian McGarry Ottawa as a city of many small communities each with representation on City Rick Alexanderson Council. He also sees Ottawa as a green city with as few cars as possible on Anne Scotton the roads, "One more bike on the road means one less car". He would also like to see the decentralization of businesses and street-front shopping, no OTTAWA ROMAN CATHOLIC malls. Solar buildings and bio masses will be the energy for tomorrow’s SEPARATE SCHOOL BOARD Ottawa, and its citizens living in a post-petroleum era where the quality of ZONE 2 (7 elected) life goes way up. "It’s about time we reinvested in people to create pride in our community, intergenerational cities and help those in need in our Roberta Anderson community". The green solutions to civic problems also cost less: Ingrid Berger - it is less expensive to ban firearms than to pay for Fred Bowie rehabilitating victims of crime and incarcerating its perpetrators. Philip Capobianco - consuming less is much cheaper than building new malls. Stephen Beveridge-McLoughlin Discouraging junk mail and single use packaging is much cheaper Frank E. Dalton than garbage disposal. Betty-Anne Kealey Frank de Jong has this vision and to him this election is the beginning. Bonnie Kehoe Jim Kennelly MICHAEL LYNCH: Michael Lynch KNOWS this community, has been Sandra Lavigne involved since he attended a community meeting on Lansdowne Park when he first moved here. He is not part of this election to be a politician, but this FRENCH LANGUAGE BOARD - CATHOLIC is another way to serve his community. He has the qualifications to be a ZONE 4 (3 elected) councillor and he wants to accomplish some things for his community. He wants to make Carleton part of the community and has demonstrated his Marguerite Proulx abilities through working and involvement as a community servant. "Sports Jean Coughlan reflects the kind of council we have just had". There has been much Rita Hotte misspending of City dollars and resents the fact that the city and not the triple Yollande Charron A baseball team is paying for roads and sewage. This is a job he wants Patrick Dionne because he has a list that has to be accomplished for his community. FRENCH LANGUAGE BOARD - PUBLIC LYNN SMYTH: "I liked the job and got great satisfaction in what got done ZONE 2 (4 elected) when I was in Office" is Lynn’s reply when asked why she’s seeking re- election. "Besides, there is still a lot to be done". Lynn sees Ottawa in a Ghislaine Reid "Healthy Cities" concept She works for the communities she serves. If a Paul Lauzon second term becomes a reality, Lynn sees herself as being a leader on the Yvon Ferrand new City Council, a role she says she’s looking forward to. Gabriel Racle Muriel Paquette JIM WATSON: Jim Watson really wants to be the councillor for the Capital Ward. He also wants to help eliminate the debt the City of Ottawa has and he wants to increase our quality of life, not just preserve it as it stands now. For as it stands now the quality of life in Ottawa South is a good example of balanced living. Jim Watson doesn’t want the gap between low income and very well-off to disappear, but instead wants to narrow the gap so that the elderly don’t have to move out and new homeowners and young families don’t have to live out of Ottawa South for a first home. Jim Watson really wants to be the councillor for the Capital Ward because "I’ve been embarrassed by the City Council for the past three years". Jim works effectively with people and can get along with everyone he meets. If you ask Jim a question "I’ll be the first to admit I don’t have the answers-but I’ll find them". The city should provide its citizens with basic clean water and a high quality of life. Being a councillor is a full-time job and he’d like to be a part of a City Council that won’t embarrass its citizens anymore.
