For those who have obtained amendments, the deadline is April 2, 1987. To lodge an appeal, fill out the form on the back of your Notice of Property Valuation, or send a letter containing the same information as requested on the form. As reasons for appeal, you need state no more than: "over-assessed". To pursue an appeal through the first stage costs nothing and does not require legal assistance. However, you should marshal your arguments before the hearing, based on com- parables, actual 1980 sale prices, and any other points which may affect market value of your home. It also costs nothing to withdraw an appeal so if you cannot make up your mind whether one is justified, you can submit your appeal by the deadline, and then withdraw. The filing of an appeal may result in a visit by an assessor, who may offer a reduction in your valuation on the spot, based on any new infolmation received. Such bargaining may resolve the issue to your satisfaction. But if not, you still have the right to follow through your appeal. Unfortunately, we were misinformed as to the timing of the television program on this subject broadcast on the Cable Channel, at 7:00 rather than 6:00 p.m. February 23. We regret any inconvenience. Relief Program Update City Council has just decided on an improved relief prog- ram for those most badly stung by this reassessment. Hope to have more details next month.

  • Recommendation R15-05 In
    REASSESSMENT OF THE RESPONSE TO TSB RECOMMENDATION R15-05 Grade separation of Woodroffe Avenue, the Transitway, and Fallowfield Road Background On 18 September 2013, at about 0832 Eastern Daylight Time, westward VIA Rail Canada Inc. (VIA) passenger train No. 51 departed from the VIA Ottawa Station on time and proceeded enroute to Toronto. At 0847:27, OC Transpo double-decker bus No. 8017 departed from the Fallowfield Station on the OC Transpo bus Transitway. At 0848:06, while proceeding at about 43 mph, the train entered the OC Transpo Transitway crossing, located at Mile 3.30 of VIA’s Smiths Falls Subdivision. At the time, the crossing lights, bells and gates were activated. The northbound bus was travelling at about 5 mph with the brakes applied when it struck the train. As a result of the collision, the front of the bus was torn off. The train, comprising 1 locomotive and 4 passenger cars, derailed but remained upright. Among the bus occupants, there were 6 fatalities and 9 serious injuries, and about 25 minor injuries were reported. No VIA crew members or VIA passengers were injured. The Board concluded its investigation and released report R13T0192 on 2 December 2015. TSB Recommendation R15-05 (December 2015) Originally, grade separations had been planned for Woodroffe Avenue, the Transitway, and Fallowfield Road. The plans were based on environmental assessments (EAs) conducted in the late 1990s. At that time, members of the public were opposed to any roadway overpass structure, and the National Capital Commission (NCC) supported the public position. Consequently, overpass options were not considered as part of the EAs.

  • A Look Back on Ottawa's Railway Heritage
    Heritage Ottawa NEWSLETTER Dedicated to Preserving Our Built Heritage Winter 2005 Volume 32, No. 1 A look back on Ottawa’s Railway Heritage By David Jeanes ne hundred and fifty years ago on Christmas O Day, 1854, scheduled rail service first began on the Bytown and Prescott railway. The line linked Ottawa to Montreal and the United States via Ogdensburg and a year later to both Montreal and Toronto via Prescott. Without this railway link, Ottawa likely would not have become the capital of Canada and its lumber industry would not have developed into the largest in the world by the end of the nineteenth century. But how much of the architectural and engineering heritage of Ottawa’s railways remains from the early years? Last spring, one of the oldest pieces from that era was destroyed when an 1854 stone arch under an abutment of the old railway bridge from Photo: David Jeanes New Edinburgh was demolished due to concerns CPR 1898 railway bridge over Green’s Creek about the safety of the public pathway which passed beneath it. A bronze plaque commemorating both two attractive stone arch bridges of the same date the first railway and the bridge piers which remain cross Green’s Creek near Highway 417. The O-Train standing in the river will soon be erected at the site still uses a hundred-year-old steel bridge, brought by the National Capital Commission (NCC). here from Magog, Quebec in 1914, over the Rideau Other hundred-year and older railway bridges River at Carleton University. can be found around the city.
