EAB, as it has become known, was first confirmed in Ottawa in 2008, and soon after our own local trees became among millions of ash trees lost in Ontario to this non-native, highly destructive wood-boring beetle. City of Ottawa crews have already removed about 15,000 trees on public property since the EAB arrival, and to date have replanted approximately 5,000 new trees a year. How- ever, the loss on private properties has also affected the look and feel of neighbourhoods, and as trees came down across the city, residents are looking for solutions to a very RPCA Treasurer, Alan Lansberg; Anna Nitoslawska, Tree Revitalization Committee; Paul real problem.

  • 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.

Geographic comments regarding ward boundaries and communities, and quantifiable comments regarding ward populations and number of wards have been incorporated into the design of the five options for re- aligning Ottawa’s wards. The comments below are organized as follows: A. Other Comments on Wards and Ward Boundaries – Online Survey, Public Meetings and Online Submissions · General (Urban Wards; Suburban Wards; Rural Wards); · Specific Wards (Urban; Suburban; Rural); · Number of Wards/Ward Populations; and · Governance. B. Other Comments on Wards and Ward Boundaries – Members of Council · General; · Urban Wards; · Suburban Wards; · Rural Wards; · Ward Populations; · Number of Wards; · Approach to OWBR 2020; and · Office Resources. The number in brackets at the end of some comments refers to the number of times the suggestion was mentioned. A. Other Comments on Wards and Ward Boundaries – Online Survey, Public Meetings and Online Submissions General · Three issues: 1. We have too many Councillors for the City of Ottawa with an average of 41,907/ward - compared to average population/ward in Vancouver of 63,000, Calgary of 87,000, Montreal of 90,000 and Toronto of 109,000. Yet our Councillors have similar compensation as these other cities. 2. The Urban (inside Greenbelt) Wards currently have 12 Councillors with Rural Councillors at 11.
