Update from Neighbours for Tunney’s

Neighbours for Tunney’s has another newsletter update on the Tunney’s Pasture redevelopment plan. Quoting from it, the first three results from their recent survey are:

1. Prioritize green space and parks – Since a majority of respondents emphasized the need for parks and recreational areas, planners should ensure ample green space is integrated into the design, with features like playgrounds, walking paths, natural areas and seating areas (Ottawa’s Official plans outline targets).
2. Facilitate grocery store development – The strong demand for grocery stores suggests engaging with grocery retailers early to establish convenient access to fresh food and everyday essentials.
3. Invest in recreation and sports facilities – Including a multi-use recreation center, swimming pool, skating rink, and/or sports field would address a major community desire for accessible sport, fitness and leisure options (Ottawa’s official Recreation plan includes targets).

The newsletter has the rest of the top ten, a link to more detailed survey results, and ideas on what to do next.
