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.

    The Plan for Canada's Capital

    Judicial i This page is intentionally left blank for printing purposes. ii The Plan for Canada’s Capital 2017 to 2067 NATIONAL CAPITAL COMMISSION June 2016 iii The Capital of an extensive country, rapidly growing in population and wealth, possessed of almost unlimited water power for manufacturing purposes, and with a location admirably adapted not only for the building of a great city, but a city of unusual beauty and attractiveness. (…) Not only is Ottawa sure to become the centre of a large and populous district, but the fact that it is the Capital of an immense country whose future greatness is only beginning to unfold, (…) and that it be a city which will reflect the character of the nation, and the dignity, stability, and good taste of its citizens. Frederick Todd, 1903 “Preliminary Report to the Ottawa Improvement Commission” pp.1-2 iv EXECUTIVE SUMMARY For more than a century, the National Capital Commission (NCC) and its predecessors have embraced urban planning to promote the development, conservation and improvement of the National Capital Region, with the aim of ensuring that the nature and character of the seat of the Government of Canada is in accordance with its national significance. The consequences of these planning efforts have been the creation of parks and open spaces, public shorelines, campuses and clusters of government institutions, monuments and symbolic boulevards. This plan charts the future of federal lands in the National Capital Region between Canada’s sesquicentennial in 2017 and its bicentennial in 2067. It will shape the use of federal lands, buildings, parks, infrastructure and symbolic spaces to fulfill the vision of Canada’s Capital as a symbol of our country’s history, diversity and democratic values, in a dynamic and sustainable manner.
