As a reminder, Neighbours for Tunney’s is an entirely volunteer-led group, headed by a core of interested local residents–including members of the four Community Associations surrounding Tunney’s Pasture. NFT was formed with the mandate to seek information from Canada Lands Company and Public Services and Procurement Canada (CLC / PSPC) and our elected officials about the redevelopment of Tunney’s Pasture and to create ongoing opportunities for residents from the surrounding communities to engage in this significant project. Anyone can email us to sign up to receive NFT Newsletters, 400+ neighbours already have! 

 

Open houses on the proposed Complete Street and Active Transportation Network at Tunney’s Pasture

We are pleased to inform you that we will be hosting our next public engagement opportunity on November 21 and 22 when we present and gather input on the proposed Complete Street and Active Transportation Network that will form the spine of the future vibrant community at Tunney’s Pasture.

Over the coming years, Tunney’s Pasture will be transformed from a single-use employment centre into a transit-oriented and sustainable mixed-use community that is integrated with surrounding neighbourhoods, while maintaining a strong federal presence. The proposed network is key to this integration.

Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) and Canada Lands Company are collaborating to develop the long-term plan that will guide the implementation of the award-winning Tunney’s Pasture Master Plan. Unveiling the proposed network and gathering your thoughts is an important step in the journey towards this transformation.

Please invite your communities to join us for one of two identical bilingual open houses where they will have the opportunity to review the Community Values that were developed last year with their input, to reflect the community’s vision for this mixed-use development. They will also see and have an opportunity to react to the proposed Complete Street and Active Transportation Network that will connect Tunney’s Pasture to surrounding neighbourhoods and the Ottawa River.

 

Location:

170 Tunney’s Pasture Driveway

Cafeteria – Jean Talon Building 

Main floor; accessible by ramp

 

Date and time:

Tuesday, November 21, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm

Wednesday, November 22, from 3:00 to 6:00 pm

We encourage people to take transit or use active transportation. Parking is also available at Tunney’s Pasture.

We would appreciate if you could please help us spread the word with your communities and stakeholders on these upcoming events. You will find attached a postcard that can be used for this purpose.

For those who cannot participate in either open house, there will be an opportunity to provide input online from November 21 to December 5.
