Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2016 7:53 AM
Subject: NCC Land Review Consultation for Civic Hospital Location

Dear friends,

I wanted to share with you that the National Capital Commission (NCC) has announced the list of potential federal sites for the new Civic Campus of The Ottawa Hospital, as well as a series of draft criteria upon which each site will be assessed. I urge you to take part in the consultation process in person and/or online.

The NCC is consulting public sector partners, stakeholders as well as the general public on the potential federal sites and draft selection criteria.

Public Consultations:

You can have your say at the NCC’s public consultation:

  • An open house and presentations on September 22, 2016, at the Canadian War Museum
    – 3 pm–9:30 pm — Open house
    – 7 pm–8:30 pm — Presentations and Q&A session
  • An online survey, available on the NCC’s website from September 22 to October 6, 2016

Find out more details on the sites being reviewed and the selection criteria here:
The Ottawa Hospital (Civic Campus) Site Review
The Ottawa Hospital (Civic Campus) Site Review Public Consultation
NCC Board approves site selection process for The Ottawa Hospital (June 28, 2016)

This is a very important issue in our community. I have heard often from my constituents that we need the Civic Hospital to remain in the downtown core to provide essential emergency care. Ottawa needs a trauma centre that is accessible by emergency vehicles and by transit. It is very important that we all have a say on the future of our community’s healthcare.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact my office: ynaqvi.mpp.co@liberal.ola.org or 613-722-6414.

I do hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

Yasir

130 Carleton Avenue Development Meeting – August 10

Subject: Meeting: 130 Carleton Avenue Development Proposal, Wed. Aug. 10
Date: Sat, 6 Aug 2016 16:12:58 -0400
From: pearhea@aol.com

130 Cowley Ave received redevelopment approval in 2013. Minor variance approvals were tied to the plans filed with the Committee of Adjustment. Subsequently the property was sold. The new owner has revised the plans and thus requires minor variance approvals for these new plans, which also are subject to zoning changes that have come into effect since 2013.

Subject: Public Advisory Committee Meeting #2 for a Complete Street Project for Richmond Road
Date: Fri, 13 May 2016 19:54:42 +0000

Please accept this invitation to participate in a Public Advisory Committee Meeting #2 for a Complete Street Project for Richmond Road. This is the second meeting of the Advisory group following the April 25th, 2016 kick-off meeting. Your involvement will help direct the design and implementation of the reconstruction of Richmond Road during the Stage 2 LRT Project, as noted below. Please confirm your attendance by replying to this email. [Editor: reply won’t work, send it to stage2@ottawa.ca]

When: Monday May 30, 2016 at 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Where: Notre Dame High School, 710 Broadview Ave (Library)

Background

The City of Ottawa has identified a requirement for the reconstruction of a section of Richmond Road between the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway and Cleary Avenue as part of the Stage 2 Light Rail Transit Western Extension Project. The design and reconstruction will meet with a “Complete Street” standard, based on the City of Ottawa’s Complete Street Implementation Framework (2015). This will also incorporate the City of Ottawa Cycling Plan (2013), and focus on enhancing multi-modal transportation in this corridor.

The review and design will consider the introduction, rehabilitation and/or replacement of:

· Sidewalks, pathways, cycling, and local transit facilities;
· On-street parking;
· Traffic lane configuration;
· Opportunities for amenities including street furniture, landscaping and public art;
· Street lighting and signage;
· Opportunities to reduce stormwater flows and/or address drainage issues; ;
· Utility reconstruction/relocation as required;
· Traffic control system; and
· Road structure and pavement.

At this meeting we will begin to discuss options, existing conditions and start to gather key input from the invited stakeholders.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions. This will be a brief presentation of the project and information provided on future projects in the area.

Drive-through Restaurant at 70 Richmond Road

Subject: Drive-through, 70 Richmond Road
Date: Sun, 17 Apr 2016 22:00:07 -0400
From: Heather Pearl <hpearl2012@gmail.com>

Please note that the Champlain Park Executive does not object to the proposal to build a restaurant in this location. We object to building a drive-through facility, which is not allowed under the Traditional Mainstreet zoning and which would be a dangerous addition at an already dangerous intersection.

Residents of Champlain Park are welcome to discuss the issues and write their own letters to the Planner in charge, Andrew McCreight, and Councillor Jeff Leiper. Jeff is working with the surrounding communities on this issue.

Thank you,
Heather

Dear Mr. McCreight:

The Champlain Park Community Association (CPCA) objects strongly to the proposed drive-through component of the proposed restaurant at 70 Richmond Road.

The attached letter outlines our concerns.

We would appreciate your recommendation to Planning Committee, and their subsequent recommendation to Council, to reject Zoning By-law Amendment request D02-­02-­16-0017 for 70 Richmond Rd.

Thank you,
