  • South Ottawa Roads, Playgrounds, Pathways, Studies, Real Estate Tapped for 2017 Cash South Ottawa Projects in 2017 Budget
    South Ottawa roads, playgrounds, pathways, studies, real estate tapped for 2017 cash South Ottawa projects in 2017 budget Ottawa South News Dec 29, 2016 By Erin McCracken Dozens of projects in Ottawa’s southern wards have been tapped to receive 2017 budget dollars. Here’s a breakdown, ward by ward: Capital Ward Residents who live in or frequent the Billings Bridge and Heron Park neighbourhoods of Capital Ward can count on the addition of a new red light camera at Bank Street and Riverside Drive in the coming months. It’s just one of a number of items for that part of the ward that are included in the city’s 2017 budget. The design of a new pathway will be completed in 2017 to allow users of the Rideau River Eastern Pathway to walk or cycle under the south side of Billings Bridge at Bank Street and Riverside Drive. Construction is scheduled for 2018 and the cost is being shared with the National Capital Commission. “That means people going east-west along that multi-use pathway won’t have to come up and cross Bank Street anymore,” said Capital Coun. David Chernushenko. “It is safer, removes a number of movements, and there will be fewer people for drivers to keep an eye on.” inReadThat will complement plans to begin work on sections of the Rideau River Western Pathway in nearby Old Ottawa South, he said, adding that currently is a patchwork of trails to the University of Ottawa and on to Sandy Hill. Faircrest Heights, Alta Vista, Billings Bridge and Heron Park residents can also look forward to construction beginning on the Rideau Canal footbridge that will link Fifth Avenue in the Glebe with Clegg Street in Old Ottawa East.

  • SPEAKING NOTES Mayor Jim Watson Budget 2019 Tabling Building a City with Better Roads, Housing, Transit and Safe Communities Wednesday, February 6, 2019 ********
    SPEAKING NOTES Mayor Jim Watson Budget 2019 Tabling Building a City with Better Roads, Housing, Transit and Safe Communities Wednesday, February 6, 2019 ******** Good morning everyone. Bonjour tout le monde. Today we are pleased to table the draft 2019 Budget for consideration and public input. The tabling of the Budget is the single most important discussion we have as a City each year. Page 1 of 54 C’est la discussion la plus importante que nous avons à chaque année. I had the pleasure of attending various ward consultations and I found that residents often have competing expectations regarding the City’s budget. However, they are also realistic about the City’s fiscal capacity – they know we have to set a limited number of priorities while living within our means. This year is particularly challenging given the compressed timeline resulting from the municipal election. Page 2 of 54 I am pleased to report that we are bringing forward a budget for 2019 that delivers on key commitments, namely: • reducing our infrastructure gap by boosting our spending on roads and sidewalks; • providing more affordable housing; and • making our communities safer and more resilient. Avec le budget 2019, nous investissons davantage dans nos routes et trottoirs et dans le logement abordable, et nous rendrons notre communauté plus sécuritaire. I want to start by sharing highlights of how Budget 2019 can help improve the lives of Ottawa residents. Page 3 of 54 Under Council’s direction, I believe we have assembled a spending plan for 2019 that balances key needs and priorities across our growing city.

  • Ian, As Always I Would Happily Defer To
    Sustainable Living Ottawa East Vie ecologique d’Ottawa Est _______________________________________________________________ July 3, 2013 Robin Bennett Cycling Facilities Coordinator City of Ottawa Rideau River Western Pathway - Recommendations of OOECA and SLOE Dear Mr. Bennett: The Old Ottawa East Community Association (OOECA) and Sustainable Living Ottawa East (SLOE) are pleased that the City of Ottawa is developing a functional design for the Rideau River Western Pathway (RRWP) and we welcome the opportunity to provide our suggestions and recommendations for the design work. In 2010, City Council identified the RRWP as one of five high-priority missing links that would close gaps in the urban part of the City’s cycling and pedestrian “off-road” network. Indeed, this work would have implemented a longstanding component of the Official Plan whereby a multi-use pathway was planned to run along the west side of the Rideau River all the way from Sandy Hill's Strathcona Park to Old Ottawa South's Linda Thom Park at Bank Street. However, because of budgetary pressures, funding was not allocated for the RRWP, much to the disappointment of the Old Ottawa East community. Although for many decades there has been a rough path along the 2.5-kilometre stretch of the Rideau River in Old Ottawa East, it wasn't until 2006 that the community, though SLOE, began concerted efforts to make the pathway a critical part of the community and, really, Ottawa. …/2 2 SLOE conceived the pathway as the "Rideau River Nature Trail," and its development was to "enhance the ecological integrity of the shoreline, maintain the existing sense of tranquility, improve amenities and provide better connectivity."
