 On Friday, November 6, ImagineGlebe opened the doors to the Pop Up consultation space on Bank Street. We hosted the official project launch in the store front space generously donated by MODA Development Corporation. The event kicked off an engaging conversation among people who "Live, Work or Play" on Bank Street about a future vision for our Traditional Mainstreet.
We asked for input and over 850 people answered!
There is strong consensus among residents, business owners and employees, people from other urban and suburban areas, and respondents of all ages for the following elements of a vision for Bank Street:
- A vibrant, bustling and safe place to be
- A place for people to gather, not just a shopping district
- One of the attractive things will be the variety of smaller buildings and businesses, and
- Buildings will be designed to reflect its historic
nature as a Traditional Mainstreet.
What's next?
Next steps will identify and refine vision elements. We will engage with stakeholders in 2016 to develop practical recommendations and/or action items that meet the aspirations of the community and the objectives of the City.
For future project updates, email us at imagineglebe@gmail.com go to www.imagineglebe.com or like us on facebook and twitter.

Chair, ImagineGlebe Committee

 On November 14 and 16, 80 participants learned
what they needed to know about Ottawa's natural systems
Offered as an elective to the successful Planning Primer Program, this course provided background and legislative context for natural systems planning.
"The presentations were very insightful and informative and I believe will be very beneficial to community groups and residents that participated." wrote one participant.
The course also discussed how the various initiatives and policies are implemented through the development review process.

 Ottawa City Council has approved the name Adàwe crossing for the new pedestrian bridge that, following its opening December 4, will link Donald Street and Somerset Street East. This new link
will provide pedestrians and cyclists with easy access to the communities, amenities and employment located on either side of the Rideau River.
The name Adàwe is the Algonquin term meaning "to trade" and is symbolic of the history of the Rideau River, the aboriginal heritage of the area and the bridge's ability to link the communities on either side.
The bridge name was chosen following a six-month, three-stage naming process, which included public consultation and a Selection Committee comprised of Rideau-Rockcliffe Councillor Tobi Nussbaum and Rideau-Vanier Ward Councillor Mathieu Fleury, the Overbrook Community Association, Action Sandy Hill, community members from Overbrook and Sandy Hill, Heritage Ottawa, City staff, and a representative from the Mayor's office. The Algonquins of Ontario Consultation Office was also involved in the process. |
 Trees are important and distinctive features within cities. We recognize their benefits to our daily lives and their contributions to the well-being of our communities.
If you are interested in removing a distinctive tree from your property, you must first determine if the tree is 50 cm in diameter or greater and then follow these steps to receive a permit.
For help on how to determine the diameter of your tree, please see how to measure a tree.

 On October 8, 2015, a new
Peace Park opened in Stittsville's Bell Memorial Park, joining an international system of 144 Peace Parks located around the world. The centerpiece of the new Stittsville Peace Park is a stone labyrinth, designed as a "contemplative path" for walking meditation. Artistically designed reconciliation benches and art from local schools on the bicycle racks and waste receptacle surround the labyrinth and celebrate "peace without, peace within". The project was organized by the Rotary Club in partnership with the City of Ottawa's Neighbourhood Connection Office. |
