Neighbourwoods in Champlain Park – Initial meeting

Sorry for the short notice, but this seems best to catch most people before vacations take a lot of you out of town …

I attended a meeting in May hosted by Daniel Buckles and Adrian Bradley of the Urban Forest Green Spaces group.

Several initiatives were discussed that night including a tree inventory project. A number of you (along with some others) went to the Neighbourwoods weekend training session in early June and we have had several subsequent sessions to improve our skills in a group setting.  During these sessions, we started the actual inventory (location, species, size, condition) using the trees in the park.

The next step in “Neighbourwoods in Champlain Park” will be a meeting to organize the expansion of the inventory process.

Tuesday, 28 June @ 7pm in the Fieldhouse

This meeting will be for setting up teams for the actual inventory, data input, GPS marking, etc.  We expect to work block by block, in teams of 2-3 (or more).

EVEN IF YOU DID NOT GO TO THE TRAINING SESSION, we could still use your help.  You could work with some of those who were able to take the training, especially when they are do the inventory on your street.  You could serve as a block ambassador and introduce the team to your neighbours.

Local Vandalism

Hello Champlain Park community members:

We have had a couple of incidences of vandalism via the use of projectiles into people’s homes through their front windows.

The first incident was reported to me on August 27 2015. The first incident appears to have been caused by the use of an air gun or pellet gun. The second, most recent incident, occurred on or about June 21 or 22 2016 around late evening around 11:00 pm. Both incidences occurred on Clearview Avenue. I have no information on what may have cause the second incident. Both resulted in serious damage, which will cost the homeowners.

I would ask that Champlain Park community members be on the look-out for anyone in the neighbourhood – as I’m sure you already do – who appears to be loitering. These two incidences, which resulted in damage to property, could simply be a result of bored youth. But, they could be a precursor to other property damage.

Destruction of property is of course not acceptable. We would ask that anyone who see something “out of the ordinary”, please contact me. Please provide me with all the details you are able to gather. If, however, your property is damaged, please report it to the Ottawa Police Service and let me know as well. The Ottawa Police Service will be able to better track these types of incidences when they are reported.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Sincerely,

Sarah Livermore

New Pedestrian Crossing Style

From: Pedestrian Crossover / Passage Piétons <passagepietons@ottawa.ca>
Sent: Fri, Jun 3, 2016 3:47 pm
Subject: New Pedestrian Crossovers in Ottawa / Nouveau passages pour piétons en Ottawa

La version francaise suite:

Hello,

The City of Ottawa is contacting you as stakeholder associated with the use of the City’s road network. With recent Ontario Highway Traffic Act changes there are items that will have an effect on how you or your organization or members will use area roads. Being aware of these changes and responsible for the resulting actions is the responsibility of all road users.

On May 24th, the City of Ottawa will begin an education and awareness campaign to highlight the new Pedestrian Crossovers coming to Ottawa in June of this year. We would appreciate your help in sharing this information with your members, employees, and/or stakeholders.

Pedestrian Crossovers are identified by specific signs and pavement markings, and vehicles (including cyclists) must yield to pedestrians at these locations. The attached e-Poster illustrates the new Pedestrian Crossover. Additional information such as what they are, how they work, and where they are located can be found on http://www.ottawa.ca/

Drivers/Cyclists will be fined $150 to $500 with 3 demerit points for offences at Pedestrian Crossovers. Enforcement of offences at Pedestrian Crossovers will began as soon as they are

The first wave of the new Pedestrian Crossovers will be unveiled in mid- June at low speed, low to medium volume roadways and signal lane roundabouts. Additional sites will be installed throughout the next two years.

The installation of the new Pedestrian Crossovers requires a significant change in travel behaviour for all road users to ensure a safe road environment for pedestrians at these crossings. For this reason, we are making available to you the materials you may need to inform your employees/members of the rules of Pedestrian Crossovers and the associated fines.

Attached for your use is an e-Poster that you can share with your members to help promote awareness. Brochures are also available upon request by contacting me by telephone at 613-580-2424 x13767 or by e-mail at pedestriancrossover@ottawa.ca.

Bonjour,

C’est en tant qu’intervenant associé à l’utilisation du réseau routier municipal que la Ville d’Ottawa communique avec vous aujourd’hui. Les modifications apportées récemment au Code de la route de l’Ontario auront un effet sur votre façon ou sur celle de votre organisme ou de ses membres d’utiliser les routes du secteur. Il incombe à tous les usagers de la route d’être au courant de ces modifications et responsables eu égard aux mesures en découlant.

Le 24 mai 2016, la Ville d’Ottawa lancera une campagne d’éducation et de sensibilisation pour mettre en relief les nouveaux passages pour piétons qui seront aménagés à Ottawa en juin prochain. Nous vous saurions gré de bien vouloir diffuser cette information à vos membres, vos employés ou aux intervenants de votre entourage.

Les passages pour piétons sont indiqués par une signalisation précise et des marques sur la chaussée; les véhicules (y compris les vélos) doivent céder le passage aux piétons à ces endroits. L’affiche électronique ci-jointe illustre ces nouveaux passages pour piétons. Vous trouverez d’autres renseignements sur ce qu’ils sont, leur fonctionnement et où ils sont situés sur le site Web de la Ville à http://www.ottawa.ca/.

Les conducteurs et les cyclistes écoperont d’une amende de 150 dollars et de 3 points d’inaptitude par infraction commise à un passage pour piétons. La sanction des infractions commises aux passages pour piétons s’appliquera dès leur mise en service.

La première vague de nouveaux passages pour piétons, aménagés sur des rues où la vitesse est limitée et le volume de circulation est faible ou moyennement élevé, sera dévoilée à la mi-juin. D’autres passages pour piétons seront aménagés au cours des deux prochaines années.

L’aménagement de ces nouveaux passages pour piétons oblige tous les usagers de la route à modifier considérablement leur comportement lorsqu’ils se déplacent afin d’assurer la sécurité routière et la protection des piétons à ces passages. C’est pour cette raison que nous vous proposons de la documentation pour vous aider à renseigner vos employés ou vos membres sur les règles encadrant les passages pour piétons et les amendes correspondantes.

Vous trouverez ci-jointe une affiche électronique à diffuser afin de sensibiliser vos membres ou vos employés à la question. Vous pouvez également obtenir des dépliants sur demande en m’appelant au 613-580-2424, poste 13767 ou en écrivant à pedestriancrossover@ottawa.ca.

Sincères salutations,
