News & Announcements

The City of Ottawa has received a Zoning By-law Amendment and Site Plan Control application to construct a four-storey low-rise apartment building, with a total of 16 dwelling units, located at 1806 Scott Street. There will be two visitor parking space and 16 bicycle parking spaces provided. The proposed redevelopment is for the demolition of the existing single-family home for the construction of a four-story, low-rise apartment building at the intersection of Scott Street and Rockhurst Road. The maximum height of the proposed building will be 14.5 meters.

Council today passed a motion to resolve the outstanding appeal over the refusal to allow the National Capital Commission to build embassies in the open space north of Burnside in Mechanicsville. The settlement, which is between the City, the NCC and the Mechanicsville Community Association will allow those embassies to be built, but with some key wins for the community for which we pressed when the application first moved forward.

Good evening, Kitchissippi. I've received the following from Salus executive director Mark MacAulay with awful news about their building at Athlone and Scott. Tenants have lost food and possessions and there is an urgent need for your financial donations as soon as you can.

There's some good news out of OC Transpo this morning as they expect to have full O-Train Line 1 service restored "later today". I hope everyone has a much smoother commute tomorrow. Here's the memo we received from OC earlier this morning. I expect most of what residents will need to know will be covered by the media over the course of today, so this will likely be my last update. Have a great day, Kitchissippi.

*Please note this application was received during the election blackout period in fall 2022 – this application remains under review by staff and public comments will continue to be taken into consideration of this application*

Hi Kitchissippi. The LRT, as you've no doubt read, is still not operational. Below, I've copied the memo we received from OC Transpo this hour.
