It’s about time!
“Ottawa residents looking for more information about a development planned for their neighbourhood will soon have access to a database of all development documents submitted to the city.
The database will contain site plans, traffic studies and environmental assessments that had been hard to obtain until now. They will be accessible through the City of Ottawa website starting Tuesday…”
See you in 2008!
Sincerely,
andrea tomkins,
on behalf of the Westboro Community Association
The consultation is tonight!
There’s been a lot of buzz about this issue, so it should be an interesting evening. :)

Ottawa residents are invited to participate in the City’s review of the Official Plan – an important part of the Beyond Ottawa 20/20 initiative. The Official Plan is reviewed every five years as directed by Ontario’s Planning Act.
Two supporting documents, the Transportation Master Plan and the Infrastructure Master Plan are included in the review.
City Council wants residents to have their say in how the city should manage its growth and take part in influencing the policies and strategic directions that guide the Official Plan and all the Master Plans.
To start the consultation process, staff have prepared a number of White Papers, which explain a variety of issues and options on topics such as intensification, transportation challenges, the environment and climate change.
Residents have also prepared Discussion Papers with recommendations for changes to the Official Plan and Master Plans as a result of the Rural Settlement Strategy Workshop held earlier this year.
For more info, as well as a schedule of upcoming events, go to the City of Ottawa website.
Also worth checking out: Ottawa Talks. Post your thoughts in this online forum. [Edited to add: wow - the forum is surprisingly complicated to use. Anyone try it out yet?]
If you live on Tweedsmuir Avenue between Richmond Road and Currell Avenue and see someone taking pictures of your home it’s because the City has planned some infrastructure work for Tweedsmuir in 2008 (subject of course to budget restrictions)! You may see a new watermain and elimination of ditches.

Moderated by Rita Celli, host of CBC Radio’s Ontario Today and co-organized by the West Wellington Community Association and the Hampton-Iona Community Group. For more information, contact Judith Shane (613) 725-9147.

Westboro residents know that this neighborhood is a fantastic place to live. There are lots of changes going on, that’s why it’s so important to stay updated and get involved. When those big issues come up it’s best to stand as a group. That’s why you should consider joining your neighbours for a meeting of the Westboro Community Association.
The next one is scheduled this Thursday, April 26th in the Dovercourt boardroom at 7:00 p.m.
