Tunney's Pasture Master Plan Consultation
From the neighbours of Tunney's Pasture:
Monday September 17, 5 - 8 pm
Jean-Talon Building
170 Tunney's Pasture Driveway (extension of Holland Avenue)
Ground floor
Public Works and Government Services Canada have announced plans to double the number of employees and add residential and commercial uses in Tunney's Pasture over the next 20-25 years. As you can imagine, there will be impacts on those of us who live nearby - some could even be positive (shared recreational spaces, for example).
The impetus behind this plan is the advent of the Light Rail Station at Tunney's Pasture and we were told at the press conference that this is going to be transit-supportive development.
We, the neighbours of Tunney's Pasture, need to attend this information session (drop-in but why not stay as long as possible to exchange views with your neighbours as well as with the consultants) to show the federal government that we are very interested in their proposals and that we want to be consulted for more than 3 hours about this very important initiative.
Some questions that need to be asked:
How will you ensure that transit is the primary means of access to an intensified Tunney's Pasture?
Will PWGSC and/or their consultant be part of the City of Ottawa Community Design Plan consultation for this area, about to begin very shortly?
Why are only 600 residential units being proposed when private developers are planning at least this many units right across Parkdale Avenue?
How will the neighbours be informed of implementation plans as they develop?
What recreation facilities and other services which could be shared with neighbouring communities are being planned?
Why were the neighbours not asked for input to the concept plans - we have many ideas about how Tunney's Pasture could be a better neighbour?
The web-site has more information (but no plans as yet):

A Design Charette is an intensive, engaging hands-on workshop that brings people from different disciplines and backgrounds together to explore design options for a particular area or site. You, your friends and neighbours are invited to drop-in anytime and contribute your ideas.
Ongoing physical modeling and drawing will be used to reflect discussions, developed options and illustrate directions.Your feedback will be invaluable for helping us to unlock some of the potential of this changing community.
Who is running the Charette?
As part of the Carling-Bayview CDP process, the City of Ottawa is hosting a design charrette to discuss issues around the transformation of the area around the O-train Carling Station. The charette will be led by an urban design consultant, Urban Strategies Inc.
How will my ideas and suggestions make a difference?
Once all the results are in, Urban Strategies will make recommendations to the City of Ottawa to establish planning and design directions to guide community improvements, review of future development applications for the area and help complete the Carling-Bayview Community Design Plan.
What area is being covered by the Charette?
The area is bounded by the Queensway to the north, Lorretta to the west, Dow's Lake to the south, and Booth Street to the east and is within the boundaries of the Carling-Bayview CDP project.
Where can I get more information?
