News & Announcements

The final site plan for the Elmdale School renovation is now available, and you can see the detailed plan by clicking the .pdf below. From the original proposal, the final plan consolidates two vehicle entrances on Java into one, and the parking has been somewhat reduced. The Ministry recently approved the final funding, and construction should begin forthwith.

Today, demolition work is set to begin at the development site at 27 O’Meara, and I feel it’s important to let residents know how we’ve arrived at this point, and why I consider that the developer in question has engaged in what I would describe as a gross abuse of process.

For information regarding the construction of a new development at 174 Forward Ave.

Temporary Roadway Modifications

September 2019

Dear Resident,

Next week, on September 10, the Finance and Economic Development Committee (FEDCO) of Council is going to consider a document that will guide our budget-making process this fall. Called the “Budget Directions”, the document will give City staff their instructions on how to draft the 2020 budget.

Rail grinding is set to begin even as soon as this weekend on the LRT line - one of the potential mitigations for the elevated noise levels being experienced by some Mechanicsville and Hintonburg residents. Please click on the attached .pdf attached notice for more details.

I had the opportunity this morning to press our city manager about the LRT noise in this location, and continue to be confident that the City is taking this issue seriously, including incorporating lessons learned into Stage 2.
