We're in a housing shortage/affordability crisis.
Your statement is opposition to building more homes and having more neighbours.
This is minutes walk to LRT. Billions interested. Why would you not want to maximize that investment

Wouldn't this be really close to higher level transit? Blocking a taller development isn't somehow going to also make mid-rise growth happen, so I don't see the logic here at all. I thought we wanted to help solve the housing crisis and work towards more TOD?

Emergency services have been consulted and recognize that the path network in LeBreton is being developed to support emergency service vehicles including fire trucks and ambulances. In recent years, downtown fire stations have been testing out vehicles that are smaller and deployed in denser areas with pedestrian connections."
Wait, what? Did we know #OttCity is testing smaller emergency vehicles? Where can I find out more?

In the interest to not waste time I'm going to build out the public website Autowa.app and just "pretend" the app isn't forked.
If you have any stat ideas now is the time. I'm going to do the heavy duty DB design next.

This would be a great step to making housing more affordable!

For reference, Carling is from 1913, Catherine is 1899, Slater is 1875!
We are FAR behind on replacing our aging pipes, and council just this past summer voted to defer $2 billion in recommended replacements. Expect much more of this!

'architecture' is a nice thing some people can pay, for all to contemplate.
urbanism is for all, regardless.
Tokyo is a city that makes the argument that architecture is irrelevant.
What matters more is urbanism:
The street network
The density
The freedom of uses
The clustering around rail

I wonder if the City of Ottawa has ever had such a major policy piece go through the committee with so little fanfare from the public and media? On Wednesday, we approved the final draft of the new Zoning By-law. Here's an overview: glengower.ca/information/...

OTTAWA, ON - The 10 year old who was almost taken to emerg by his parents in the morning had an incredible recovery just after the time school would've started. Somehow he conjured up the energy to ask for some snacks and play video games. The cautious child did think it was best to remain home for the remainder of the day "just to be safe." Researchers are currently looking into this strange phenomena. THE ROVΓLO RECORD
