SUMMARY:Online public consultation Patterson Creek Bistro
DESCRIPTION:The National Capital Commission is holding an online public consultation Thursday\, March 11\, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.\, on a pilot project to have a 40-seat bistro near the Patterson Creek pavilion. This proposal is significantly different from the first one made in 2019. Thursday’s consultation will be the first one on this new proposal. \nSign up on the NCC’s website to receive the link to join the meeting. \nBackground:\nIn 2019\, the NCC proposed three bistros as a pilot project: at Confederation Park\, at Remic Rapids and at Patterson Creek. (The other bistros operated in 2019 and 2020.) Back then\, the Patterson Creek bistro was to have consisted of a 240-square-metre patio\, two refurbished shipping containers and portable toilets. \nMay 2019 \nThe Glebe Community Association received an email from the NCC on May 29 (after the GCA’s May board meeting)\, informing us of the project. The GCA asked who in the community was consulted about strategies to minimize any impact\, how the GCA might work with the NCC to engage with those most likely to be affected\, and how project success would be measured. The NCC’s response included information about the three sites being animated\, hours of operation and mitigation measures around waste\, and noted that the NCC would evaluate success of the bistro. There was no description of community engagement approaches.\nJune 2019 \nNeighbours noticed a liquor licence application posted on the railing along the water. Construction equipment appeared in the park on June 17\, but work was suspended given nearby residents’ concerns. These residents subsequently circulated a petition that garnered 200 signatures of those opposed to the pilot project.\nIn response\, the NCC quickly organized an open house on June 24 to discuss the project with the community. The open house was attended by hundreds of people\, the majority of whom expressed concerns about the project.\nJuly 2019 \nOn July 4\, Sarah Viehbeck\, then GCA president\, wrote to the NCC CEO Tobi Nussbaum to raise the GCA’s concerns about the lack of consultation. She requested documentation about the project and that the GCA be involved in the project’s evaluation.\nThroughout July and August\, concerned neighbours sent multiple inquiries and requests for information. Not being satisfied with the response\, they made a complaint to the NCC’s Ombudsman about the lack of a proper consultation process.\nAugust 2019 to March 2020 \nThe NCC ombudsman initiated an investigation into the project in August 2019 and issued a report in March 2020. (Here is an Ottawa Citizen article about the report.) The ombudsman determined that the NCC had not conformed with the spirit or the letter of its Public Engagement Policy\, that it needed to “reset” consultations and that consultations should be undertaken “at a flexible stage whereby the final decision takes public concerns and interests into account.”\nIn September 2019\, the NCC wrote to the GCA for input on the evaluation criteria for the project. The GCA discussed this at its October board meeting and sent a response suggesting that “community impact” be a criterion. The NCC presented evaluation criteria to its Board that did not include that suggested criterion.\nApril 2020 \nAt its April meeting\, the GCA passed a motion asking the NCC not to proceed with the bistro during the summer of 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.\nNovember 2020 to present \nIn November\, neighbours appeared before the Ontario Licence Appeal Tribunal to object to the issuance of a liquor licence.\nIn January 2021\, a settlement was reached: the NCC agreed not to install shipping containers and portable toilets in the park and made other adjustments related to the size\, location\, hours\, noise\, lighting and cooking on the premises.

SUMMARY:Aberdeen square meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Glebe Community Association along with Community Associations in Old Ottawa East and Old Ottawa South\, the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG) and Councillor Menard will be hosting a virtual community consultation to review and provide feedback to the proposed changes to Aberdeen Square at Lansdowne Park.\n\nThis virtual consultation is scheduled for Monday\, October 19th from 7:00-8:30pm via Zoom. If you are interested in learning more about these plans and provide meaningful feedback to enhance the future of Aberdeen Square\, please register in advance using the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_rbIk6OPFRcyTeoEf-rjoVg Once you register\, you will be sent the link to connect to the consultation.\n\nBackground:\n\nFollowing the deal the City made with Lac Lémy Casino last year\, specifically\, the $250K in funding they received to rename Aberdeen square\, the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG) has been developing plans to enhance the square.\n\nArchitectural designs have been developed by Barry Hobin that incorporates the Aberdeen Pavilion into the square\, with flexibility built in so the square can be adapted for several different types of events. We have heard that the main components include:\n\n1)      Plaza (main stage) – performance area\, small scale events (small musical performance\, comedy nights\, etc).\n2)      Modular (stage platforms).\n3)      Iconic street furniture with flexible use – more shade\, more furniture\, a more animated square.\n4)      Expanded Aberdeen pavilion – pulling in some of the heritage features of the pavilion and history of the site.\n5)      Four season animation – year-round animation with themes for each.\n6)      Heritage sensibilities.\n\nDesigns will be shared during the virtual consultation and participants will have the opportunity to review and provide feedback to enhance these plans.\n\nNext steps: \nOSEG will finalize the design plans based on the feedback received from the community consultations and other stakeholders including the Ottawa Farmers Market and Heritage Ottawa. It is unclear when these plans will be finalized and actualized. \nIf you have any questions or comments concerning the community consultation or the proposed plans for Aberdeen Square\, please contact Anthony Carricato\, Chair of the GCA Lansdowne Committee: Anthony.Carricato@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Community opening of Flora Bridge
DESCRIPTION: Community Celebration of the Opening of Flora Bridge 4:00 p.m.\, Saturday\, July 20\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGCA and its sister community associations are hosting a community celebration of the opening of Flora Footbridge  4:00 p.m.\, Saturday\, July 20 (rain date Sunday\, July 21).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nThe City’s dedication of the footbridge in late June and the casual opening two days later caught many by surprise so the community gathering will allow all of us to celebrate our new connection and glorious public space over the Rideau Canal.   \n\n \n\nAt  4:00 p.m.\, in the middle of the bridge\, community children are invited to bring their scissors and jointly cut the ribbon. Brief remarks from community association presidents will follow. Then all attendees will be invited to the Old Ottawa east/south side for a piece of cake after which they can walk across the bridge to the Glebe side for a glass of lemonade (please bring your own cup/mug to reduce plastic waste).\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShort\, simple and fun.  See you there! Community members worked long and hard to make the bridge a reality. Let’s celebrate.

SUMMARY:Bank Street Development Building Heights
DESCRIPTION:Bank Street Development Building Heights\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMonday April 29th\, 7:00pm\nMutchmor Public School (small gym)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHeight map PDF: Height Map April 20 2019 (1)\n\n\nThe City of Ottawa is conducting a study regarding the height and character of Bank Street in the Glebe (see here: https://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/public-engagement/projects/bank-street-glebe-height-and-character-study).\n\nThe GCA is preparing to submit our position into the City planners and require broad engagement on the matter of building heights for new developments on Bank Street. Any position that the GCA ultimately takes will be entirely contingent upon the City conducting appropriate planning studies to inform final decisions.\n\nThe proposed motion about height is as follows:\n\nInitial comments on Bank St. Height and Character Study\n\n\nWhereas the City of Ottawa is undertaking the above-mentioned study and has invited initial feedback and comments from the community regarding appropriateness of building height\, character and transition elements\, as well as prioritisation of travel modes on Bank Street; \nWhereas the GCA’s Planning Committee has reviewed the vision for Bank Street articulated in ImagineGlebe (2016) as well as almost 90 surveys completed by community members as part of the present study which indicated strong support for maintaining 4 storey height limit with some potential for additional height at northern and southern portions of Bank Street; \nWhereas the existing heritage structures are a key part of the character of Bank Street and the outcome of the City’s efforts to create the heritage register which includes many Bank Street buildings should be specifically taken in account in any final study recommendations; \nWhereas the GCA promotes appropriate intensification/building height/form and a vibrant Bank Street; \nWhereas the GCA values development that contributes strongly to building a community that promotes a livable\, sustainable and diverse urban neighbourhood\, as reflected in the core comments from both this study and ImagineGlebe; \nWhereas the comments that follow are provided with the explicit caveat that they will be appropriately assessed and refined through specific planning studies as part of this overall study so the impacts (including\, but not limited to sun shadow\, increased density\, etc.) can be properly understood; \nBe it resolved that within the study area: \nThe following building heights (see map) may be appropriate\, based on the planning studies noted above: \n\n\nZone A: Village. A maximum height of 4 storeys between Fifth and Patterson Avenue  (the core of the Glebe “village”) \n\n\nZone B and C: Transition. A maximum height of 6 storeys between Fifth and Holmwood Avenues and Patterson and Pretoria Avenues \n\n\nZone D and E: Neighbourhood scale gateway. Areas potentially suitable for higher densities and taller buildings (specific criteria to be developed through additional planning and design work as part of this study to ensure compatibility with low-rise residential). \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt the April 23 GCA meeting\, the GCA passed the following motion and will also feed this position into the Bank Street Height and Character Study.\n\n\nBe it resolved that within the study area: \nThe building heights as set out in Part 1 should be considered only in conjunction with the following building transitions and appropriate planning studies: \n\n\nTo better establish pedestrian scale\, any building up to 6 storeys should provide a more meaningful “step back” of a minimum of 2.5 m after the 3rd storey (current TM zoning calls for step back of 2 m after 4th storey). For buildings above 6 storeys\, the building step back should be a minimum of 4 m. \n\n\nTo achieve appropriate scale with the north side of Central Park (west side of Bank Street)\, a meaningful building stepback above a 3rd storey of a building that overlooks the park. \n\n\nBuilding heights/transitions should ensure that Bank Street sidewalks have a substantial amount of sun on their entirety (i.e. no less than 5 hours of sunlight per day between spring and fall equinox and/or X hours during winter months.).  [Note that this may point to different constraints on east vs. west side of Bank Street]. \n\n\nWhere building height is above 4 storeys\, built form MUST respect all other current TM zoning (ie. to include 7.5m rear yard set back\, as well as respect for 45 degree angular plane transition down to the rear/residential zone). \n\n\nConsideration could be given to “relaxing” the required 7.5 m building set back to 3 m\, but ONLY where a building continues to respect the 45 degree angular plane (this would result in a building being no higher than 2 storeys within 3 m of rear lot line).  If allowed\, appropriate amenity space\, preferably incorporating  trees\, MUST be provided to the rear of the building to provide better transition to residential\, provide shade and health/environmental benefits. \n\n\nThat existing heritage structures are a key part of the character of Bank Street and the outcome of the City’s efforts to create the heritage register which includes many Bank Street buildings should be specifically taken in account in any final study recommendations and that character should be enhanced and promoted by ensuring that: \n\n\nStore widths in buildings should be no wider than the current average storefront\, +25% [or equivalent metric to ensure compatibility with existing cadence] \n\n\nBuilding design itself reflects the existing store width “cadence”\, in other words\, design must incorporate transitions so that building does not “read” as single built form. \n\n\nExterior materials should reflect heritage elements. \n\n\nBuildings should contribute to climate adaptability in the overall design\, e.g. through green/landscaping and green buildings. \n\n\nThat the first storey building height be in keeping with the existing character \n\n\nWith respect to prioritisation of travel and traffic issues:\n– Pedestrian traffic is overwhelmingly seen as needing greater priority. Enhancements to ensure greater walkability/safety is a key issue. \n– Priority should also be given to people taking transit as a strong second priority. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n– The need to slow traffic down has been identified as a priority (vehicular traffic was rated last)

SUMMARY:Public Information Session on Ottawa Queensway Downtown Bridges\,
DESCRIPTION:The Ontario Ministry of Transportation is planning to rehabilitate or replace several bridges on Highway 417 (Ottawa Queensway) including those at Metcalfe Street\, Elgin Street\, the Rideau Canal and Main Street. This work will directly impact the Glebe and our neighbouring communities).   Come and find out about the project\, which currently in a planning phase.  This is an opportunity to give your opinion on aspects of the project like noise barriers\, something our community has long advocated for.  The preliminary design and environmental assessment study is being carried out by consultants\, BT Engineering Inc. \nWednesday\, April 24\, 2019\n4:00 pm to 8:00 pm  (Drop in any time).\nSt. Paul University\, Guigues Building\, 223 Main Street\, Ground Floor \nMore background on the project can be found at www.queenswaydowntownbridges.com.
